    1. Britain’s scientists must not be gagged
      from the Guardian
      A ban on state-funded academics using their work to question government policy is to begin on 1 May. It’s either a cock-up or a conspiracy
    2. Petition: Exempt grants for academic research from new 'anti-lobbying' regulation
      from Petitions - UK Government and Parliament
      The Cabinet Office has announced that a new 'anti-lobbying' clause will be included in all Government grants from May 2016. This is an attack on academic freedom as it would stop grants for university research being used to influence policy-makers. It is bad for the public interest and democracy.
