‘Short-sighted’ number caps ‘more about politics than policy’

The usual hot air to be expected from a failing politician, floundering out of his depth and lashing out at what he perceives to be an easy target. They don't like educated people, because they can see through their antics to the self-serving approach they take in blithe disregard of their obligations and duty of care to the citizens they are supposed to serve. Wonder where Sunak got his degree? If he's a typical output, maybe that's a low-quality degree...

So the definition of a 'poor quality' degree is one that doesn't lead to a well paid job. Does this include e.g. Archeology, Classical Studies, English Literature, Philosophy? Maybe what the Govt is really concerned is the student loan not being repaid, not simply students doing 'poor quality degrees'? Or maybe something more sinister - many non-vocational degrees demand a degree of critical thinking and analysis that, maybe Accounting or Medicine or Physics does not - and we all know how employers just love to hire a critical thinker these days, one who dcan suggest new, better, 'disruptive' ways of running things. So perhaps some more 'critical' degrees won;t lead so readily to jobs, and here we have a way od ditching them. After all, 21st C global-elite Neo-Liberalism really doesn't want critical thinkers crawling all over it, does it?
