The School of Oriental and African Studies...

...is the chief centre of expertise in Britain on Asia and Africa. It is also as corrupt as the UN, the Mafia, or the Pentagon. I have a personal issue with them: 22 years ago, they did everything in their power to destroy me. I therefore find nothing whatever strange or surprising in this: bullying, cruelty and cowardice are, in my experience, as much at home in SOAS as in the average jail. This crooked and corrupting establishment should either be closed down outright or reformed from the foundations.

Well, how much money did Gaddafi give them?

They were corrupt when Gheddafi was giving money to the IRA.. Incidentally, if anyone is worried about corrupting money, Gheddafi is a minnow. The real horrors come from Turkey and from the Gulf. The whole fuss about Gheddafi's money to LSE has been a disgrace, when Oxford has been taking money by the shovelful from Gulr Arab donors to create an Islamic Centre that actually has nothing to do with the university's small but glorious Oriental Institute.
