Queen in historic - and controversial - cabinet visit
Channel 4 News (Web), 18/12/2012, Unattributed
She was an observer rather than participant in policy debate, but it was still a step too far for Rodney Barker, emeritus professor of government at the London School of Economics. "The monarch has to be seen as totally outside the normal political process. She reigns but she doesn't rule," Professor Barker said in an interview with Channel 4.

Silent Queen sits in on Cabinet meeting
The Times Online, 18/12/2012, Unattributed
The Queen’s visit was criticised by one constitutional expert. Rodney Barker, emeritus professor of government at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said it was inappropriate and would blur the boundaries between government and monarchy. I think it is daft, it muddies the waters.

Justice at risk
Morning Star Online (Web), 18/12/2012, Unattributed
“Not only did we sell arms to Libya. Blair went on his now infamous visit to that tent in the desert and Gadaffi showed incredible largesse to the London School of Economics in return. What Blair kept quiet about was that Britain also renditioned Saadi back to Libya in a joint British-CIA operation which resulted in his imprisonment…”

Turn rhetoric on mental health into reality
ePolitix.com (Web), 18/12/2012, Unattributed
The Department of Health’s own figures have found that while cash investment in mental health services has increased by 1.2% since 2010/2011, this actually amounts to a real term decrease of 1%. A report earlier in the year by the London School of Economics highlighted that mental health services are missing out on investment as the NHS struggles to meet its efficiency savings challenge.
