Vince Cable tells scientists they must pay their way. What do you think?

I think that the speech that Vince Cable actually made is a much more interesting, thoughtful and reasonable contribution to the debate about science, research and innovation, and how to support them, than the media story about it. I don't agree with the premises he's starting from (in particular, that his Dept must find cuts of the order of 25%), but given that, he's going about it pretty sensibly so far IMO.
