- “The excellent Tim Worstall”- The Register
- “Tim Worstall is a darn good economist”- Don Boudreaux
- “Tim Worstall, you pendant”- Polly Toynbee
- “Twat”: Margot Wallstrom
- ….more sensible than most right wing nutjob bloggers…Bob Piper
- C’est de la très bonne dialectique économique.
- He is the undisputed King of the Internet Pedants and Lord of the Unnecessary Snark.
- Oh man. Watching @worstall execute @richardjmurphy is like watching a very, very clever cat slowly killing at ataxic mouse.
- The exception is Tim Worstall, who is truly the Ron Jeremy of blogging.
- Tim may be wrong about stuff, but ……..that, ultimately, makes up for his beating squirrels to death for a hobby

Thirty years ago, if you were qualified for oxbridge but didn’t get in for whatever reason, you went to Bristol or the LSE or one of a few others. The article is bonkers, but the proposed new school raises odd questions – there are lots and lots of existing universities and some private ones, too, any of which could up their published standards, opt out of state support ( I assume that’s what you do to charge 18k) and hire some media professors – what creates the niche so that this start-up thinks it can win a place and pay its way? Are these guys smart and everyone else dumb, or the other way around?
