Freshfields unveils £10k bursaries for UCL law students

I may regret this but after so many comments in I feel I have to ask this: but why do people hate former polytechs so much? Seriously? I get it for commercial lawyers-to-be as they need snob factor to break into even the regional firms let alone London (where obviously its Oxbridge et al or no TC) but it seems that whatever area it relates to, former polytechs are looked down on as essentially the working-class of the University heirarchy even though many are on equal footing if not better in terms of quality than Russell Group uni's who are in that group ust because they get more Governmental funding? Are you just the same people who look down unfairly on Legal Execs (now Chartered)? And does this serious case of University snobbery affect those of us looking for a career in local/High Street practice?
