This is just the bit from The Thick Of It where Glenn says, about some nothing policy, “And we've probably got ten million we can throw at it”, and Hugh replies “yes, that’s good, because it sounds like a lot, doesn’t it”. These are not large amounts of money.
@lottelydia An insightful thread in the sense that the argument seems to be that nobody needs to learn anything after they’ve finished school
@lottelydia Rather than smearing someone for criticising it, why not justify the value for money that this research will deliver?
@lottelydia she has also (inadvertently or otherwise) screenshotted the names of early career researchers, opening them up to potential abuse utterly irresponsible
@lottelydia God forbid historians should lose the welfare they're on to finance their hobbies.
@lottelydia Sad that such dull readers exist. Just seeing the project title makes me realize that I now want to know all about this! Unless you’re an anti-carb zealot, you should be curious about the history of our food supply.
