Probably so people don't take the piss with the legal fees if they're confident of winning. See the Colette Rooney vs Rebecca Vardey case for example.

1756 hrs = 73 days, 1361 hrs = 57 days of pure sewage in the water. Wonder how much they stole from their customers to pay their shareholders.

I work for a university and there is no surprise. This has been building for a while.

The issue, not just for universities but the UK as a whole, is that foreign students subsidise UK research. When the government funds research projects it only funds 80% of the cost of the project (Look at UKRI funding terms). Higher foreign student fees are 3-4x UK nationals fees.

From another perspective we're essentially selling off our intellectual property to non-nationals which really puts a dampener on our future competitiveness.

If the government is unwilling to pony up the cash to cover research, whilst actively discourage foreign students, then the quality and quantity of research is going to fall off a cliff.

We have "Visit Rwanda" advertised at premier league matches so guessing it's pretty safe. Not saying the plan isn't abhorrent or anything

It retcons the nuking of shady sands by 14-15 years, so undermines the entire fallout universe they are faithful to. What a boring hill to die on
