You express gratitude that at least we have two institutions with enough money to compete globally.

But you forget that several of the institutions high up in your wealth league table belong to an organisation known as London University. Because of the wealth of its constituent parts (according to your own figures), this institution is therefore equally capable of competing globally as the two federal universities on which you focus.
