If you know you want to do Law I don't see any point into wasting an extra year to do the GDL - do the LLB straight away. GDL is more for people who studied something else and then figured out that they might enjoy law more.

Not true, a lot of lawyers I know wish they had studied something else then did the GDL.
You're forgetting the diversification of insight effect of doing another subject. Doing econ or history or maths can inform how you interpret your legal studies and how you deal with legal careers.. A mathmo or econ student turned lawyer will not look at the world in the same lense as a straight law grad would

That's a load of crap in my opinion but I understand why people believe it.
In any case, don't forget that we too can actually do economics, languages, history and whatnot (as modules), and we all do philosophical papers like jurisprudence or legal history.
I know law has this "dry" reputation but it's not entirely true :P

Not strictly true. With a bit of reflection I think many lawyers would have done another subject that was more fun and easier and then done the GDL. There are benefits for doing a straight law degree, but its not the end of the world.
I'm not really oing to o down the line of not studyin law makes you a better lawyer argument.
