White working-class males: they need real help, not rhetoric
The Guardian, 08/01/2013, p.35, Patrick Mcghee
It is true that according to the General Teaching Council, one in four primary schools has no male teachers. Similarly, according to the Centre for Economic Performance at the LSE, boys at secondary schools believe female teachers will give them lower grades - and invest less effort as a consequence.

Daft planning rules are pushing up the price of food in shops
City AM, 08/01/2013, p.2, Allister Heath
Once again, misguided rules are responsible for Britain’s woes and for the excessively high prices that are hurting all of us – and the poor especially badly. As explained in an excellent paper by Paul Cheshire, Christian Hilber and Ioannis Kaplanis, published by the London School of Economics’ spatial economics centre, planning policies, including the notorious “town centre first” ideology, have had a devastating impact on retailers’ productivity – and thus pushed up the cost of food and goods sold by supermarkets.

The year of the bike
Evening Standard, 07/01/2013, p.20, Jasmine Gardner
figures from Sport England suggest that 64,000 more women now cycle regularly since last year. But 2013 is no ordinary year. This is post-Olympic London and a report by the London School of Economics and British Cycling measuring the "Olympic cycling effect" suggests that Team GB's medal-winning antics at London 2012 has inspired many to take up the activity.

The Ralph Miliband lectures remind us how stupid `clever? people can be
Spectator (Web), 07/01/2013, Douglas Murray
“For anybody who needs reminding of how stupid ‘clever’ people can be, can I recommend Guido’s post on the Ralph Miliband lecture series ? Each year the London School of Economics still holds an annual commemoration of the dead Marxist now best known of as the father of David and Ed.” http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/douglas-murray/2013/01/the-ralph-miliband-lectures-remind-us-how-stupid-clever-people

Red Len and Laurie Follow in Gaddafi’s Footsteps
Guido Fawkes blog, 07/01/2013,
“The Ralph Miliband Lecture has been no stranger to some rather explosive characters recently. Readers will remember how in 2010 Ed’s mate at the LSE David Held invited Saif Gaddafi, the Butcher of Bengazi to be, to speak as a “representative of the Miliband program”.
