NK confidential: BBC correctly balanced consent and complicity
THE, 25/04/2013, p.28
Complaining about being kept in the dark on undercover reporting in North Korea is peevish of the LSE, believes Tim Luckhurst. In the dispute between the London School of Economics and the BBC over Panorama’s “North Korea Undercover”, something depressing has been revealed about one of the worst aspects of modern universities.

Inside Angela Merkel's Bet On the Future of the Euro
The Wall Street Journal (Europe), 25/04/2013, p.14, Marcus Walker
Critics warn that years more of such cuts could do lasting damage to the economies, social fabric and political stability of weak nations. "The depression that is being imposed on these countries may last quite a long time," says Paul De Grauwe, professor at the London School of Economics and one of Europe's most prominent economists. "The perception of Germany is deteriorating," he says.

Piquantly, Juliet happens to be rather good at helping people with marital matters — she is a trained psychotherapist and her area of expertise includes relationship issues, separation and divorce.

Eagle has landed... on Gatwick expansion
Evening Standard, 24/04/2013, p.26, Nicholas Cecil
The shadow cabinet minister is adamant that the Davies Commission into the UK’s airport capacity should not be pre-empted. While Labour wanted Sir Howard Davies, the former head of the London School of Economics leading the review, to publish its final report before the 2015 election, it will await its conclusions before drawing up its new policy. Supporting expansion at Gatwick, or Stansted, had also not been agreed by the shadow cabinet.

Panorama, LSE and North Korea saga? is this oober-kill?
guardian.co.uk (Web), 24/04/2013, Unattributed
Just when you thought the fallout from John Sweeney's undercover Panorama trip to North Korea with a group from the London School of Economics had died down, the story has taken a turn for the bizarre. An electropop outfit named Ooberfuse has released a song denouncing the Kim dynasty – and it turns out the lead singer of the band is none other than a London School of Economics alumni.

So much for the IMF's big plans and patronising soundbites . "The IMF is in panic mode," says Professor Thandika Mkandawire , a development economist at London School of Economics. "The social consequences of the policies are dire. The IMF is blaming this on poor implementation of social measures, whatever that means."

National Trust: SNP will not hijack Bannockburn anniversary

The SNP’s woes over their currency plans deepened yesterday when one of Alex Salmond’s former hand-picked economic advisers warned a separate Scotland may have to dump the pound. Prof John Kay, a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, said that starting a new Scottish currency “is the only option that campaigners for a Yes vote can commit to deliver.”
