If the government really wants to scrap degrees which deliver no value to the UK and indeed have led to £ billions in damage to the economy and culture of the UK then it just needs to scrap the Oxford PPE degree and arrest everyone who has taken it.

Booked all proper like :)

I suspect someone/somewhere just entered the data wrong for the chemist - I was one of many showing up expecting Covid and Flu but they were Flu only and didn't know anywhere doing Covid.
