Ward Churchill, that is. And yes, you’ve noted correctly that UD isn’t covering Ward’s trial. She’s had enough of Ward. I think you can watch the whole trial on Fox News or something.

But Ward’s vile words about 9/11 look almost mild compared to those of his British counterpart, who has now been suspended from his university post because of the violence of his threats against capitalists.

Chris Knight, of the University of East London, told BBC Radio 4 things “could get nasty” after ex-bank boss Sir Fred Goodwin’s Edinburgh home was attacked.

The university confirmed in a statement the professor of anthropology had been suspended from duties on Thursday.

An investigation was being launched into his comments, it said.

… The professor was interviewed for BBC Radio 4’s PM programme after the home and car of former Royal Bank of Scotland boss Sir Fred were attacked by vandals early on Wednesday morning.

Mr Knight, who was organising [G20] protests next week, said: “We are going to be hanging a lot of people like Fred the Shred [Sir Fred Goodwin] from lampposts on April Fool’s Day and I can only say let’s hope they are just effigies.

“To be honest, if he winds us up any more I’m afraid there will be real bankers hanging from lampposts and let’s hope that that doesn’t actually have to happen.

“They [bankers] should realise the amount of fury and hatred there is for them and act quickly, because quite honestly if it isn’t humour it is going to be anger.

“I am trying to keep it humorous and let the anger come up in a creative and hopefully productive and peaceful way.

“If the other people don’t join in the fun – I’m talking about the bankers and those rather pompous ministers – and come over and surrender their power obviously it’s going to get us even more wound up and things could get nasty. Let’s hope it doesn’t.”
