    I never said it should be prohibited, that’s a very silly presumption. Please don’t put words in my mouth.

    Do I think that the number of places should be more or less in line with the roles that we need filled in a society? Mostly.

    There are also a lot of people who want to bring class in to the debate for some reason, if I had it my way, the whole of the UK would have free education as our parents did and class would have nothing to do with it.

    If you ran an engineering business and you needed five additional mechanics and five additional electricians to meet the growing demands of your customers. Would you pay to train up five mechanical apprentices and five electricians, or would you pay to train up ten electrical apprentices because the mechanical roles are less desirable and you want prevent the electrical roles from becoming dominated by the upper classes?
