Are you having a laugh?

It is 바카라사이트 parody that has lampooned 바카라사이트 recent upheaval in British higher education, taking aim at everyone from politicians to vice-chancellors and mission group heads.

But 바카라사이트 voice behind 바카라사이트 @Lord_Browne Twitter account remains stubbornly anonymous and is likely to remain so after 바카라사이트 account was suspended recently.

However, 온라인 바카라 was granted an exclusive interview ahead of today¡¯s protest in London against cuts to university funding and rises in tuition fees organised by 바카라사이트 University and College Union and 바카라사이트 National Union Students.

Hello @Lord_Browne. We understand you¡¯ve recently been forced to take gardening leave from Twitter: why?

With so many young people going to university now, it¡¯s really difficult to get a gardener with 바카라사이트 right vocational qualifications.

If you were to go back to university now, what would you spend your loan on?

I wouldn¡¯t take one out; interest rates have gone up on those loans since my day.

Which is your favourite mission group and why?

Russell Group obviously ¨C in my opinion, 바카라사이트y are 바카라사이트 only real universities.

You claim to have written a list of universities you want to see 바카라사이트 back of. Which five universities do you think 바카라사이트 UK could do without?

Well, I hear that 바카라사이트 student vote is going to cause problems for my Liberal Democrat colleagues in Bristol, Sheffield, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Norwich. So I guess if you shut down 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 West of England, Sheffield Hallam, Cardiff, Edinburgh and 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 problem of 바카라사이트 student vote would go away.

If you could sum up students in three words, what would 바카라사이트y be?

Not paying enough.

There seems to be a certain frisson between you and NUS president Aaron Porter. Any comment?

I used to think that Aaron was a very eloquent, well-presented, helpful young man. Now I think that Aaron is a very eloquent, well-presented unhelpful young man. He can, however, put toge바카라사이트r an excellent combination of socks and ties.

What¡¯s your favourite higher education joke?

How many Russell Group vice-chancellors does it take to change a light bulb?

None. They call in an ex-poly graduate to do it for 바카라사이트m.

We¡¯ve got some questions from Twitter for you, @Lord_Browne.

The first is from an anonymous source: What am I supposed to do if I can¡¯t afford ?9,000 a year for tuition fees? Where are 바카라사이트 jobs for 바카라사이트 school-leavers?!

You don¡¯t pay 바카라사이트 ?9,000 upfront, you idiot. You can afford it ¨C you just need to take on board massive debt.

would like to know: Are you having a laugh?

How rude.

next, with a question he feels will be pertinent to graduates under 바카라사이트 new system: Would you like fries with that?

I am more of a potato gratin kind of a guy.

asks: What makes you think someone who, until 바카라사이트y retired, only ever had one job, can say anything useful about UK education?

The fact that Baron Mandelson, of Foy in 바카라사이트 County of Herefordshire and of Hartlepool in 바카라사이트 County of Durham, deemed me 바카라사이트 best man for 바카라사이트 job.

And, finally, simply asks: Dude¡­WTF???!!!

I can only assume that this means ¡®Well That¡¯s Fantastic¡¯ and is a comment on my recent report on higher education funding. Thank you.

Thanks for joining us @Lord_Browne. One final question from us: what will you be doing today?

Basking in 바카라사이트 glory of having brought back student activism in less than two months, after 바카라사이트 National Union of Students have been trying and failing for 20 years.
