The catch is that it advertises the tax-dodger Google far more than
the available funding merits.  (Google claimed it makes a loss in the
UK, mainly by making UK sales from Ireland, and is "obliged" to
exploit our weak tax laws --  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20288077

I don't want to participate in it, but as long as it doesn't increase
Google use, I don't mind if others reach a different conclusion and do.
