Bob Brecher on the AHRC and "The Big Society"

Details here. Professor Brecher has resigned as a member of the AHRC Peer Review College. I have little doubt that he will be followed by many other members -- including me (I'm a member of the AHRC Peer Review College) -- if "The Big Society" is not removed immediately from the AHRC's delivery plan spelling out its strategic research funding priorities. Nearly, 2800 colleagues have signed our petition here and I recommend others sign as well.
