The director of the London School of Economics quit this month over his scandalous ties to Moammar Khadafy’s blood money.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, as the Brits say.
Sir Howard Davies turned the respected school into a diploma mill for dictators, trading its international reputation for a few barrels of Libya’s oil wealth — specifically, a $2.4 million endowment from the “charity” run by Khadafy’s heir-apparent, Saif al-Islam Khadafy.
The cost: LSE had to hand Saif a Ph.D. and confer upon the tyrant’s tot all the legitimacy and honor the degree entails.
LSE helped Saif become the “legitimate” face of a murderous clan, a “Young Global Leader” who dined at Davos and drank with London’s smart set.
But the veneer came off when riots erupted in Libya, as Saif threatened “rivers of blood” if anyone opposed him and urged his shock troops to fight “until the last bullet.”
Hardly sounds like your average LSE student. Then again, Saif’s thesis was plagiarized and most likely ghostwritten.
And get this: In his own defense, Davies said Khadafy’s cash and the school’s menacing anti-Israel tilt were neutralized . . . because they took money from Jews, too.
“The biggest donor to the school in the past year is George Soros, who of course is of Jewish origin,” he told the Times of London. “We operate, I believe, a very balanced view.”
A lovely snapshot of the British academy’s worldview: Jews on one hand, anti-Semitic murderers on the other — it all equals out in the end.
Well, it equaled out when Davies was chased out of town by critics and by students who occupied his office.
Whether LSE’s cratered reputation will recover is another question entirely.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Soros didn't give them money because of the LSE's anti Israel activities.
If Soros is an example of a Jew to these people they are insane.
