Hi All,

For all of us who are as shocked and annoyed as I am about the threat
to Jodrell Bank's funding, there is an e-petition you can sign at the
address below. It already has over 1000 signatures. If we can add
ours, all will help to knock some sense into our government.

The process of signing is relatively easy, name, e-mail address (kept
private), address (kept private), then you will receive an e-mail
confirming your signature, in which you click a confirmation link
which will add your signature to the petition.

Let's make our voices heard !

Clear, dark skies.

Many of you will be aware that the UK government is threatening to cut
funding for the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire England. This
would result in the closure of the Lovell radio telescope and the
MERLIN project, and effectively end British involvement in radio
astronomy.

If you are a UK citizen, please follow the link below and sign the
petition urging the Prime Minister to reverse this decision.

The problem is not just with Jodrell Bank, the following petition calls to
reverse the budget shortfall that is affecting STFC funding across a wide
range of projects.

If there is an alternative site for non-UK citizens to sign, please let me
know. Astronomy is an international effort. - Canopus56

The petition can be signed by UK residents irrespective of
nationality. BTW, 'citizens' of the UK are actually subjects of Her
Gracious Majesty. The concept of ctizenship applies to constitutional
democracies rather than constitutional monarchies. Same difference
really!
Petitions signed in my case.
