Good Lord, no. Absolutely not. He who pays the piper calls the tune; the moment government money is provided, it comes with a long list of strings attached. I'd hate to see that happen.

Periodicals, journals and lectures are the way that it should raise money.

Although, if it were to have a high-profile media campaign to raise money to pay off the debt, I'd happily contribute.

You've got more chance getting money off Dyson actually. He is really keen on engineering and science still.

Marconi & Ferranti are totally controlled by bean counters now; it's very sad to see.

It's all over for the RI.

BBC News - Royal Institution: UK science body 'may sell home'

Shouldn't Marconi or Ferranti or someone slip them a few bob?
