"I didn't realise that we spent as much as £3.5bn on Science in this country. You might say it's not a lot but when the Tories are talking of needing to cut £6bn from the education budget per year then it puts it into some sort of perspective."
Indeed it does -- pretty much *all* of the science in this country could be funded for not much more than half of the trimmable bits of the education budget.
