Gaddafi, undoubtedly rooting for his favorite football team, the LSE Beavers
Of the many unusual aspects of the Gaddafi family, add a love affair with the London School of Economics.
On January 12th, the LSE accepted a donation from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation of £1.5 million (~$2.5 million). The Foundation is headed by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and an LSE alumnus.
Previously, LSE President Howard Davies served as Britain's economic envoy to Libya. See the UK's embarrassing communique from that meeting here.
Someone should really tell Davies that the idea of LSE accepting money from Gaddafi to do research on "Global Governance" is basically like Harvard Med School taking money from Philip Morris to study smoking cessation.
