Beware Greeks claiming pensions - and fuelling a huge old-age poverty problem
The Guardian, 22/05/2015, p.33, Helena Smith
“It is a political quagmire and a hugely sensitive issue but without being overhauled drastically the system is just not sustainable,” says Kevin Featherstone, who heads the Hellenic Observatory at the London School of Economics.

The police and austerity: Down beat
The Economist, 22/05/2015
And tougher tactics are “largely anathema to the British police”, says Tim Newburn, a criminologist at the London School of Economics, with senior officers unconvinced such tactics are effective and certain they are unpopular.

Migrant policy makes EU 'the real slave state' say academics
The Guardian, 22/05/2015, p.26, Patrick Kingsley
The Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, described people-smugglers as "the slave traders of the 21st century". But 300 migration experts from universities including Oxford, Harvard, the London School of Economics, the School of Oriental and African Studies, Yale and Princeton, argue that it is the actions of the EU that most recall 18th century slave states.

UK and the EU: Better off out or in?
BBC (Web), 22/05/2015, Unattributed
The Centre for Economic Performance, at the London School of Economics, says the worst-case scenario is a 6.3% to 9.5% reduction in GDP, "a loss of a similar size to that resulting from the global financial crisis of 2008/09". The best case, according to their analysis, is a loss of 2.2% of GDP.

Cameron proposes to seize wages of immigrants in Britain illegally
Los Angeles Times - Ginanne Brownell Mitic - 21 May 2015
“The Conservative Party, like all large parties, is a coalition with quite a range of opinion from socially responsible, paternalistic Tories to really quite ideologically radical-liberal economists to old fashioned right-wing xenophobes,” said Rodney Barker, a professor of government at the London School of Economics. “And unfortunately, what David Cameron is trying to do partly is to appease the right-wingers in his party, for whom Europe is bad enough but foreigner is even worse.”

What are cities doing so right and so wrong? The experts go head to head
The Guardian.com (Web), 21/05/2015, Simon Jenkins
It wasn’t a particularly pleasant life in so many ways: a boy born in New York City in 1900 had seven years’ less life expectancy than one born elsewhere in the United States, and it was about the same gap between London and the rest of Elizabethan England. Edward Glaeser has been in London as a Visiting Professor at LSE Cities and the Spatial Economic Research Centre.

The Island: London Mapped by Stephen Walter, a playful take on London’s independence

Politically, though, independence is still a pipe dream. London hasn’t even managed to wrest much fiscal autonomy from Whitehall: as Tony Travers, director of the LSE’s London research centre has calculated, only 7% of tax paid by Londoners is retained by the city’s government . In New York the figure is 50%. But who knows? The next
