Also the political correctness of having a target of 50% of the
population "going to a university".

Political correctness has nothing to do with it. The country is turning
to
a high tech economy. The government has to prepare for this. So the
other
50%, if it ever gets that high, who do not go to higher education shall
be
involved in the basic skills we all know and need. That 50% is a lot of
people.


All the high-tech stuff is going to India, China, Malaysia, Germany, US

You mean low grade programming.

All the cars/trucks are made abroad (bar specialised low-volume)
What are all those degree 'qualified' people going to do ?.

We now have a massive service industry.


So all these graduates will need degrees in miss-selling (mortgages),
spotting-shifty-characters (security guard), hygiene (fast food sales)
or practical-stupidity (B&Q)
