You may be right Redsnapper, but consider this: throughout our academic institutions, research councils, heritage organisations, the arts and music, national archives, libraries and more, cuts are being made. The finest geological library in the world, British Geological Survey has just been told that it is to lose 20% of its staffing budget in April. Now either a lot of very intelligent people are letting their budgets go to ratshit, or funding is being withdrawn over a broad spectrum. It is probably simplistic of me, but I can see a great big black hole in which to put all the money trimmed off organisations which only "elitist minorities" have any interest in. Are you familiar with the phrase "panem et circenses"?
