This is more of an indictment of the British education system after it had been privatized by Margaret Thatcher's government in the early1980's. It was don to acccomodate those aspirants from the new emering economies like Malaysia, eager to earn a"British Degrees" the brand over the quality and standard of education that existed before Thachism took over.
Australia soon followed suit not wanting to miss out on the Asian student bonanza awarding honours degrees like confetti to those with the money and not the brains that Britain so badly needed.
The "quality" of the once presitgous and coveted University of London law degree post 1975 is evident at the quality of membership of the Malaysian Bar and those amongst them who rose to the bench and office of Attorney General.
Tommy Thomas, Ambiga Srinivasan (from another British University) and others like them come to mind immediately.
As Groucho Marx once said "Never mind the material, just fel the width" playing the tailor in one of his comedy sketches. That line said a lot more about this unfortunate culture than it did about clothing and textiles.
