The '''London School of Economics''' and Political Science (known more simply as the LSE)is a world-renowned undergraduate and graduate school for training future economists, investment bankers, financial analysts, businessmen, diplomats and those interested in public policy.<ref>http://www.lse.ac.uk/</ref> It was founded in 1895 by the socialists Beatrice Webb (1858-1943) and Sidney Webb (Lord Passfield) (1859-1948), and became a constituent part of the [[University of London]] in 1900.
Known for its far-Left radicalism since the 1960s, it is sometimes referred to as the ''London School for Extremists'' and has been host to at least three al-Qa'eda-linked terrorists who studied or lectured at the college between 1990 and 1993, when it became a breeding ground for Islamic [[extremism]]. In recent years, the Islamic extremist group ''al-Muhajiroun'' has been known to recruit volunteers at freshers' fairs.
In the 1970s and 1980s it was known as a base for Trotskyist and Maoist students.
It often features debates and lectures of significant interest to the [[European Community]].
