Two cheers for Blair
February 12th, 2007Blair is making some attempt to repair some of the havoc he has wreaked in the university system. Plans are to be unveiled later this week through which the government will donate £1 from the public purse for every £2 given by wealthy philanthropists or grateful ex-students. That should help to get some much needed extra funds into the university system. But it still leaves our university system at the whim of private donors, rather determinde by government policy. Which is the old Conservatism, rather than Labour, new or old.
