My Alma Mater Edinburgh University and in particular my old University department (Physics/Astrophysics) along with the rest of this great Scottish university is facing real term cuts of up to 2% EACH year for the next 2 years in its funding.

The University principal and all staff need to get off the fence and become political. Edinburgh university owes it to the country (Scotland) to make a stand on behalf of Scotlands people. As for the English Royal family attending Edinburgh, I'd rather see the red guard in the matriculation office......
