Mortar Bored

More than 20 years ago, I knew that the introduction of tuition fees would simply make universities matter less. That you had been to one would become a sign of having had rich parents, who could afford to pay the fees. But who was going to care that you had had rich parents?

In addition to that, it will henceforth be a sign that your parents could afford to send you to the kind of school that was allocated A*, A and B grades to distribute among the members of its Upper Sixth. And who is going to care about that, either?
