Maybe I have been a "real" student and know *exactly* what I am talking about.
Have you ?
The number of students who started their studies 4 years ago working on a PhD
and have been getting 10k a year through a research council are less than
0.1% of all UK PhD students.

That does not make it any easier to do the research and write a thesis.
Many students at top universities in the UK take much longer than 3 years.
I know several people who are right now going through this process.
> If what you were saying was true, which it isn't,
Right, Mr. Anonymous.
> Reading and other universities like it would only have one state-sponsored

Reading and other universities take a large number of foreign students who pay
a lot more than home students.
Many students run out of funding and simply can't afford to work full time
on their theses and therefore take a job in order to be able to finish.
