Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the Cambridge Union

[MardyBra]

article here

So he's been invited to talk about the global economy and the Euro. Part of me says that free speech should prevail, and he's not been found guilty (yet) of any crimes against women.

Yet.... it's not really about the economy or the Euro is it? There are plenty of others who could talk about that. I can't help thinking that he has been invited deliberately to provoke.

Any thoughts?

yes it is classic studenty being-outrageous-for-the-sake-of-it.

?Anyone can speak here, and we use no selection criteria when inviting speakers other than that they are interesting people whom the membership would want to hear speak and would like a chance to question and challenge".

Good chance to ask hard questions then?
