Apologies if breaches the politics ban but looks like there may be an A Level u-turn
incoming for those interested in this topic.
No doubt will be sold as Boris to the rescue but for me this shambles is the straw that broke the camels back with this useless government, even if they do belatedly put it right (no doubt because of the fallout plus they know they may well lose in court).
The obsession with models. data analysis and algorithms regardless of real human outcomes/fairness is quite bizarre and all a bit sinister.
