Yes, but NuLabr believe that everyone should get a prize for effort,
actual achievement doesn't count.

But the cheap Tory government made that change in the 80s and 90s. New

the hard way - though one of the best (the Open University) only survived
because of the premature death of a Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer.
