Couldn't we do better with that money back under our control. Since when has money under someone else's control done better. Think beyond your own nose.

Yeah, right, and when has any UK government - let alone the present one - cared one iota about research? Let alone been prepared to fund it properly.

Since no-one other than the most optimistic, such as apparently yourself, believes that the sum which will be made available will match that currently being received, then it is quite obvious that we won't "do better". The simple point is that we gain far more funding overall than we contribute to these projects, and in disciplines such as mine we get back more than double our contribution.
