They're not wrong:
"Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has announced it will cease funding #openaccess (#OA) publishing costs, arguing that the current model is failing to deliver a fair and efficient system for disseminating research."

I wonder if the ORE announcement may have anything to do with that decision?
Are there any similar efforts going on in the UK?
