Revealed on the news this morning.
More people applied to go on something called Love Island than applied to study at Oxford and Cambridge Universities combined.
"Deer sur, pleeze can I be on your show luv island. ps Im a nachural blonde (almost) with big tits and am very intellijent to.
A true but sad reflection on our society.

I don’t find that sad personally.
Oxford and Cambridge are 2 of the best unis in the world, and accept students from all over the world. The chances of anyone getting in who isn’t a borderline genius is pretty much zilch. So why bother applying if you’re not?
So Love Island is massively popular, not the worst thing. People obviously like to watch sun, sea, sand, attractive people and a bit of a soap opera. Maybe if some of the budding Islamic terrorists in this country switched it on they’d chill out a bit! I remember watching season 2 of the first version in 2006 and thought it was quite entertaining.
Well I do. Exhibits a distinct lack of ambition amongst people today. "Students from all over the world" suggests someone thinks it's worth applying. So why bother doing anything that might improve your situation in life? Might as well all become couch potatoes watching rubbish and having our intellects addled by endless blipverts.

My point with the “students from all over the world” means it’s likely a damn sight harder to get in than it was say 50 years when it was mostly UK students, considering for every Brit on the planet there’s 100 non-Brits. Similar effect to the vastly increased difficulty for English youngsters to get to the top domestic level in football compared to 50 years ago.
By the time students are applying for university, they know their AS-level results and I’m guessing in some cases their predicted A-level results. If all these aren't the new A* grade, along with a large proportion of their GCSE results being A*, there really is no point in applying and in such cases it would be throwing away 1 of your 6 uni application options.
So I’d say Oxford and Cambridge don’t get that many applicants because the available pool of people who can realistically apply already starts very small.

If Diane Abacus can get into Cambridge it's worth Uncle Tom Cobley and all having a bash .

Fair point. Maybe her interviewer had a similar form of insanity and was impressed by her Plan B of not knowing the answers to any actual questions by saying "Aaaandrew" in a very patronising voice instead.
Funniest bit of that is watching Portillo's expressions. He's obviously making an attempt to look away when he smirks at Neild's direct hits.
I rem watching that at the time and thinking that's a bit strong given that she and Portillo were regulars on the show. I think Neill must have been bottling up his ire toward her for some time.

One of life’s unanswerable questions . Maybe like Rudge in the superb ‘The History Boys’ , her father was a janitor at one of the Colleges and it was an early attempt at diversity . She’s a total embarrassment to black women of reasonable intelligence . The wife cringes when she appears on TV and has to leave the room .
How would you define History Diane ?
Well it’s just one effing thing after another , Aaaandrew
On second thoughts that’s pretty succinct ! Well out of Abacus’s league .
