Other questions include whether science organisation receives funding from China and whether it is a climate or ‘environmental justice’ project

    What the actual fuck is happening

    So like universities and scientific organisations have to fall in line with whatever odd ideas this guy thinks up to go after, or they lose the funding for research?

    I really don’t like this direction. This is an unreasonable amount of control and a dangerous precedence to set

      They’re using this tactic to get us used to them being in control of our nation.

      This time next year we will be part of America or part of the fight against it

        Pretty clear choice for me. US administration are downright scum. I’d sooner we take our chances in a fragile geopolitical position than ever dance to their tune.

        Start strengthening EU alliances. If we’re going to play politics of convenience that’s better done with China. They might be capable of things that shock us, but they also seem to value and respond to sensible economic exchange. It’s becoming rapidly apparent that the US are more about Russian style domination - you can’t even bargain with that.

        Ugh. Both options suck.

        I don’t want to be part of the mango madness and also recognise that we could be in a bad position to fight back
