This government has succeeded in alienating the medical and allied professions, the teaching profession, the police to name only three - rather large - groups of citizens. They know that they will be voted out at the next general election and seem hell bent on making things as bad as possible before they go.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847149482684623481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787667491278694309.post-12722932678731098702008-07-16T21:58:00.000+01:002008-07-16T21:58:00.000+01:00How depressing to hear that they are buggering aro...How depressing to hear that they are buggering around with one of the greatest achievements of the best Labour prime minister since Clement Attlee (the late Harold Wilson).<BR/><BR/>My dad was both a Wilson-ite (and unsuccessful Labour parliamentary candidate in the 60s) and one of the founding Professors of the OU. He isn't happy either.<BR/><BR/>If the Govt REALLY believe so much in mass higher ed, why don't they fund everyone? I find it difficult to believe it would cost them that much. And I reckon people who do, say, 10 or more years in the Forces should be entitled to free University tuition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787667491278694309.post-49129350203297120762008-07-16T18:41:00.000+01:002008-07-16T18:41:00.000+01:00Thanks for welcoming me to the blogosphere.I enjoy...Thanks for welcoming me to the blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed this post as I've always been fascinated by the OU, its students and how it works (not to mention deeply impressed at the self-discipline it must take to take OU qualifications).<BR/><BR/>Governmental meddling - twas ever thus.
