It's one of those things that I read, shake my head and think: well, at least nobody will be able to get away with *that*. Possibly you can spot a tiny indication of my lazy voter apathy...<BR/><BR/>Why hasn't Professor Xylophone had a nice loud harrumph about it, for example? Or do people not interested in him since his "I saw a woman driving a bus the other day - shouldn't be allowed!" convulsions?Nick Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618461043660129105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22974616.post-40455945087834200292008-03-07T12:18:00.000+00:002008-03-07T12:18:00.000+00:00I agree, this is a travesty.

It is not only a site of massive historical interest: major discoveries <A HREF="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1036783_new_solar_system_discovered" REL="nofollow">are still being made there</A> all the time. <BR/><BR/>What worries me even more is a sneaking sense that this is only the very newsworthy tip of the iceberg. I wonder what other major areas of research in the UK are going to be hampered by cuts in funding. We have a proud history of great scientific minds making great discoveries in this country but I have to say, if I were a genius in today's climate I'd be sorely tempted to go somewhere else, where my abilities were valued appropriately.Steph Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203857483437132885noreply@blogger.com
