som Göran Persson  fortrød for fjorten dage siden, desværre seks år for sent, og som kan blive virkelighed i Danmark med en venstrefløjsregering, kan give sig besynderlige udslag. I Holland f.eks. statsstøtte til kæmpemoskeer, også selv om de ikke vil love at være  "moderate" og  har svindlet  10 mio. kroner ud i den blå luft. Men islam støttes fordi de har brug for et mere positivt image", og det er i al fald ikke løgn. Sandheden er  at parlamentet efter håndfaste trusler, simpelthen ikke tør s …

Det var Miles som hadde den opprinnelige ideen. Wikipedia har historien akkurat slik Greg fortalte den i dag: Beckett spent a lot of time on YouTube and noticed that the most popular original content was videobloggers.

I'd been meaning to post a link to this piece in 5th October's Guardian, as it summed up a lot of my feelings on the matter. While not supporting a generalised boycott of Israeli academia, I have some misgivings about such a boycott's having been declared unlawful, especially as no reasons have been given in support of such an opinion. The threats cited by Dr Gopal to academic freedom in the United States are well-known: Organisations such as Campus Watch monitor what academics write and teach, …
