Not that price has as much of an impact on drinking as these loons would like people to believe, but still.keddawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-57040717622445383202013-10-31T12:56:21.263+00:002013-10-31T12:56:21.263+00:00Oh he'll know all about the cock-ups and false...Oh he'll know all about the cock-ups and falsehoods, but he'll just ignore the as <a href="http://dickpuddlecote.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/what-ian-gilmore-didnt-tell-northern.html" rel="nofollow">he's done before</a>. ;)Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-51142001595121045382013-10-31T12:23:43.499+00:002013-10-31T12:23:43.499+00:00Magnificent rogering article Dick.

Their jobs are funded from grants (taxpayers' money). I think the Sheffield rubbish channelled your taxes via the Dept of Health.

If they do not, by reason of spending their time doing studies, what are we paying them for? <br />This is really very, very important. If these academics do the studies in their own time, that is OK, but should they be financed at all to play games? It may be that their 'studies' are financed by Big Pharm, but we, the public, pay for the buildings that they use and the academic structure. <br />The misuse of public money is blatant, and I cannot understand why it is happening.Junicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-8040471322502069152013-10-30T22:59:14.077+00:002013-10-30T22:59:14.077+00:00Somebody will have to tell Sir Ian Gilmore.Somebody will have to tell Sir Ian Gilmore.Mark.Snoreply@blogger.com
