a rivil department is trying to shut us, so our funding (or the funding I secure can be directed to them). They have questioned our peer review, accounts and application quality, its extremely underhanded and unfortunately legal. Now there are 80plus people employed here and I spent yesturday proving all was in order to auditors and accountants who could have frozen us only to have a professor who I contacted to explain what had happened and it was all sorted say I had to be careful what I said or I would talk myself out of a job. Yep I lose my job, he'll lose his as will everyone else. I do not get it. How stupid can people be. Yesterday I got home, I could not function. I have had someone senior today come in on my side - i can not put into writing here exactly what was said
