Federal government spends almost ₤ 30m of taxpayers’ money on fringe research projects consisting of gay porn studies and recording Syrian harvesting tunes
UK Research Study and Innovation (UKRI) has actually been offered the appealing amount of funding for abroad projects, which appear to have no clear advantage to British taxpayers.
Edinburgh University were provided ₤ 123,000 to tape-record ‘harvesting tunes of displaced Syrian refugees living in Middle Eastern nations’, while the University of Warwick received practically ₤ 800,000 to study ‘undetectable women in Italian cinema’. Imagined: Syrian refugees are seen at the refugee camp in Idlib The University of Exeter got ₤ 307,000 of funding to restore ancestral areas, consisting of the language and cultures of the K’omox, Pentlatch, and E’iksan in Vancouver Island, Canada, and the Maori of New Zealand. Another task includes a joint study between the University of Roehampton and Stellenbosch University in South Africa, which was given ₤ 2.8 million in funding to research how music could help the psychological health of expectant mothers in Africa.

Another task consists of a joint research study between the University of Roehampton and Stellenbosch University in South Africa, which was offered ₤ 2.8 million in funding to research how music might assist the mental health of expectant moms in Africa.
