What will the government cut next?

[headvoid]

The Isle of Wight is being cut, mainly because it "has been useless for years" and "no-one will notice"

 

[Dr Dave]

What about the Isle of Wrong?

What about the Isle of Wrong?

They've already been cut.

I'm just going to keep doing this.

Universities in England face funding cuts of £4.2bn in the coming Spending Review, an e-mail leaked to the BBC News website suggests.

Universities UK head Professor Steve Smith wrote to vice-chancellors saying this week's Browne Review set out figures that "confirm our worst fears".

He says they signal cuts of £3.2bn from teaching and £1bn from research in next week's Spending Review.

The government said it could not comment.

This is because the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills says it does not know what is in the Chancellor's spending review plans.

In his letter to fellow vice-chancellors, the UUK president suggests the impact of the Spending Review will be more important than Lord Browne's review of fees published this week.

This is "because potential cuts have been getting worse and worse", he says.

He continues: "Browne explicitly says that Hefce (England's university funding body) will have teaching funding of £700m; the current sum is £3.9bn.

"This implies a cut of around £3.2bn in state funding."

This would represent a 79% cut in the teaching grant.

I'm just going to keep skipping the posts that concern something I already heard about on the news.

Government to cut Sausageman's posts next.

We've found we can increase humour revenues by at least 25%.

 

[Dirk Funk]

I approve of these cuts.

 

[Dr Dave]

Government to cut cutting?

 

[Dirk Funk]

In fact, Loktar I'm a cosponsor of the Sausageman Reduction Act.

 

[Loktar]

In fact, Loktar I'm a cosponsor of the Sausageman Reduction Act.

I'll gladly help sponsor that.

 

[Dirk Funk]

I'll gladly help sponsor that.

Excellent. Well, these are the basics of the proposal. Sausageman posts are capped to 2 per 24 hr period. If more Sausageman posts are requested beyond that 2 post cap, Moron Credits must be purchased. This is to offset the humor and intelligence drain which accompanies his posts. They will be priced differently depending on which forum he wishes to post in. DayCare will be the cheapest, and credits can be purchased in any amount either singly or in the bargain 'Squirtle Pack' which includes 10 moron credits for the price of 9. Posts in the MF, Badlands and SF will be significantly higher based on a complex formula of post counts and active threads. I think this idea will serve everyone's best interests.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

This was quite an amusing thread once.

 

[Dr Dave]

Good times...

Government to cut the miff out of Fuddlemiff?
