Spot the difference
As the UK lecturer's union prepares to vote on an academic boycott of Israel.......
......Iran bans its lecturers from travelling to international conferences, and arrests academics on suspicion of spying.
Now, should British academics be concerned with a silly, unnecessary boycott, which, as Stephen Pollard says, makes them the "useful idiots" of anti-semites? Or should they instead defend the rights of academics around the globe - like the freedom to go where they like and engage in academic debate, without being accused of espionage?
It's their choice...
