The story I heard concerned a Japanese businessman who was told we were going to make our universities more businesslike.
His response: why would you do that? Your universities are excellent and your businesses are rubbish.
But we appointed the wrong people and pressed ahead.

I really don't want to go through the whole rigmarole of seeing Farage win power and then fuck everything up and have loads of sympathetic voxpops with dismayed Reform voters expressing their regrets when it was extremely fucking obvious what would happen because his platform is incoherent garbage
