My favourite London debating forum has Thomas Piketty on tonight.

I know some of you will be sympathetic to his views, so the link is here:

Just had a look at this website. Looks interesting. Do they go into any depth or are they similar to Radio 4 dip in/dip out user friendliness? (Nothing wrong with that, of course!)

There's a good one with Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry vs Anne Widdicombe and some other Catholic wombles that's worth a look on Youtube.

I suggest you watch the debate where Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens tore Ann Widdecombe to shreds.

They're usually pretty deep. One of the things I'm missing most is going to a live event once a month or so at I2, they've had some fantastic speakers /debates on - I think my favourite was Ehud Olmert - how he was ever elected is beyond me - the guy was just crazy.

Thanks both of you. I'll sign up.
