I think you'll find the Post Office is a private compamy accountable to share holders...
Partially accurate, except the UK Govt is the sole stockholder. So, acutally, bollocks.
NHS does a pretty good job
More bollocks. I have many friends and relatives who work for the NHS. I know differently. Please open your eyes.
Back to the thread, I feel the UAS system had a role to fulfil when, as someone alluded to, it's intake consisted of the future leaders of society and industry (as well as those of us who were destined to be Her Majesty's Finest). They have, however, become more and more irrelevant in exact concert with university education itself, as this government presses ahead with its "all must have prizes" policy of sending any kid who can grunt half a sentence in pidgin "txt-yoof-speak" english to university. The decline in the UAS system is, IMHO, due to the decline in the standard of student who finds their way to university nowadays, itself a result of a dumbed-down education system.
