Blair’s government tried to get Oxford place for Saif Gaddafi
The Blair government tried to secure a place at Oxford University for Saif al-Islam, the son of Muammar Gaddafi.
The approach was disclosed by an inquiry, carried out by Lord Woolf, the former Lord Chief Justice, into the “disastrous” relationship that subsequently developed between Gaddafi’s Libya and the London School of Economics.

The university built up increasingly extensive ties with the regime over almost a decade after admitting Saif in 2002. It allowed him to start a PhD in philosophy despite concerns over his academic ability and accepted a £1.5  million donation from his personal charity with limited inquiries into the source of the cash.

Its links to the regime were so extensive that at one point the university was nicknamed the “Libyan School of Economics”. In conclusion, the report said: “The mistakes and errors of judgment go beyond those that could be expected from an institute of the LSE’s distinction.”
Doesn't matter if they're monsters or not as long as they've got the cash. UK now letting Russian gangsters buy the bits of London the Arabs haven't brought yet.
