Robin Hood in pay of ye Sheriff
FOR the past half-century, writes Peter Rhodes, from the student riots of the 1960s to the anti-terror laws of the 2010s, the LSE has stood for that irritatingly know-all, liberal-lefty mind-set that delights in taking the bonkers side of any given argument.

You see, you would agree with the London School of Economics point of view if only you were clever enough, but you're not.
If you have studied at the LSE, as so many of our politicians and the great and good have, you know instinctively that Palestine is wonderful, Israel is evil and paedophile murderers have a perfect right to vote.
So to discover that the right-on LSE has been taking money from Gaddafi and even awarded his son a dodgy PhD is like the Merry Men discovering Robin Hood has been accepting sacks full of gold from ye Sheriff of Nottingham.
Oh, joy.
