Government at the moment seems to reckon that the general public is there to serve them, rather than vice versa. Profiteering tossers.
The one that made me laugh/cringe is some bunch of idiots around uni wanting to cut funding to engineering on the basis that accepting funding from military industries is "unethical" and "we're a bunch of petrolheads" Completely missing the point that things like the formula student racing is where a great deal of new research into making vehicles more environmentally friendly goes on. F1 and KERS is another technology which will eventually make its way down to normal cars, but the loonies want to ban as the noise scares their gange plants or some other such crap.
