This is a really important story - obviously it is good for the UK that UK HE remains a strong export market. But that doesn't mean we should be relaxed about what is just straightforward misselling that is bad for the people who buy it, bad for the longterm health of UK HE and the UK.

Yes. It’s complicated, but we have our own problems.

Just as previous religions had catechisms that seemed weird to outsiders, but gave in group status when professed.
