I'd rather poke needles in my eyes, BUT if people ask really good questions then I'm in

Can we stage a protest?

Vaggie As a disabled person, I DREAM of a pittance.

Won't he just walk out if people ask him too many pointed questions?

I grew up in the area where LOJ went to school.
99.99% of them would be bloody horrified to know that because OJ says so they are now in a working class area.

me I don't give a shit

Presumably OJs former classmates can afford a ticket, we should get some of them to show up and ask questions about his "working class" origins in the plummiest voices possible.

Someone should go with this on a t shirt.

Nick Robinson went to school about a mile away from his school.

Poles apart, or are they just the same person ?

and do they both have to spout so much shit

maybe some nice Uni needs to study the twonks

I don't think I'd be prepared to go if I'm only going to be paid £16 for going

I bet that's below the minimum wage

Well below minimum wage
But I would be happy to contribute to a fund to pay for MNers to go

@VaggieMight damn right.

If he actually wanted to try and be inclusive he would livestream the talk and or upload it online so people who can't afford to go can still here whatever he's done doing.

Never been a fan of the guy personally.

*hear sorry.

Vaggie Damn right!
I demand free entry to ... well everything! Travel expenses covered, wheelchair access even on days I identify as being trans athletic. And a free hat!
I don't know why I want a hat I just do as is my right

I thought Little OJ was a communist? A literal communism supporter..

How does he reconcile this with being a wealthy author from a wealthy priviledged background who charges for others to listen to his grand ideology about the abolition of class as a barrier to economic freedom and equality.

Oh yes, he changes the definition of what it is to be oppressed, rewrites his own history so he can self identify as working class and in no way does he have capitalist classic liberal tendancies.

Honest, comrades.

I think I might give this one a miss. Its a circle jerk for his ego, where anyone who might have vaguely interesting or challenging opinions will be absent because of Owen's general support for mob mentality populism.

ElenOfTheWays You're selling me on the idea. What kind of hat?

UpstartCrow I fancy a nice cloche I think. But I'd settle for a pussy hat. May as well show where I stand
