If you look at the list of 18 winners, they are all pretty decent schools but it looks like a list of the runners up. The real best British schools that I would attend were I smart like Douglas are nowhere to be seen.

I really hadn't looked at the titles of the awards - they're bullshit awards.
And to think I was going to give up the London School of Economics, Oxford, or Cambridge for Leicester. Bullshit awards! And Douglas is proud of bullshit.

Well, many university sites use doctored or partial statements (for example, bits of statements from different reviews pertaining to different years ).
In fact I don't think there is one UK university that doesn't brag about good placement on this or that list.
