A howling mob at the London School of Economics denied a platform to Israel's Ambassador last night.

We deplore the denial of free speech to the envoy of a staunch ally of the UK. We demand (a) an apology to Ambassador Hotovely (b) a personal invitation from the Director for her to speak at the School, with adequate security - which was sorely lacking last night.

Until both of these things happen we will be advising young people to avoid studying at LSE.
