Politicians who are not part of the research process may not realise that it is in the nature of research that almost all of it is unsuccessful at least in terms of making change in the world. No doubt there is room for improvement but if you set out to eliminate ‘waste’ you eliminate success too.

Turning half of unis into voc colleges could cut student immig a lot

"To underwrite the industrial strategy half the universities should be turned into vocational colleges linked to the needs of the armed forces+industry

Nothing has prepared you to live under Trump 2 as much as growing up in 1980s/90s Latin America. It was exactly like that! The sudden announcements changing everything, the overwhelming uncertainty, the sheer vertigo and whiplash. Plus, the sense that democracy is fragile and could collapse...

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

What happened after a mass shooting in the UK in 1986 (the Hungerford Massacre).
A report on the massacre, commissioned by Home Secretary Douglas Hurd, found that understaffing and telecommunication problems may have hampered the police response to the developing incident. The killings were committed using legally owned handguns and semi-automatic rifles, and the report stated that existing firearms legislation should be more stringent. Consequently, the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 was passed in the wake of the massacre, banning ownership of semi-automatic centre-fire rifles and restricted the use of shotguns with a capacity of more than three cartridges.
