More fun than funding bearded tree huggers to fiddle the Climate Change figures, but is this truly a good use of academic effort to support the knowledge economy in these cash-strapped times?

No more than yours is Mr Original.

Edited twice to add - the point of the topic is to discuss the best use of research funding, the example is merely a vehicle to do so. Apologies if this confused you, but the clue was in the question posed "is this truly a good use of academic effort to support the knowledge economy in these cash-strapped times?"

How about the unprecedented numbers of students, many doing totally useless degrees and wasting even more money than one lapdance researcher? The student population in Leeds alone is about double the strength of the army.

Plus they're building up huge levels of personal debt before they've even started work. I'd like to see the system re-jigged to give fuller funding support for those studying useful subjects, particularly science, and let anyone who wants to watch slappers and speak Klingon do so on their own time and with their own money.
