Its gonna be shit , really shit they have invited MPs and other arseholes but il go if i get bored enough i might consider going if i get to meet the revleft crew.

So who here is going?

[Sam_b]

Me.

As far as i'm aware the only MP they've invited is Jeremy Corbyn, who is a great anti-war speaker. Just because there is one MP in one of the hundreds of meetings will not occour doesn't mean it will be 'shit', and if you are saying this is it because you've ever been to it before? Because I expect you haven't.

I'm looking forward to it. If you think it'll be shit then the solution is easy: don't come.

I've been twice. Its a great piss up if nothing else because its within earshot of the UCL students union bar.

:D

Bernadette McAliskey

Tony Benn

Jeremy Corbyn (as you said)


When will there be a timetable of the meetings because some look intresting and if quite a few of the good meetings are on the same day il probably go.

I don't think there's a timetable yet, but here's a list of what should be on offer: http://www.marxismfestival.org.uk/2009/Courses.html

These sound really good: Islamophobia – what’s behind “preventing violent extremism”?, Alexandra Kollontai: women and revolution, China – capitalism’s success story?, Permanent Revolution in the Middle East, Language and class. I can't wait!

I'm going as well.

Yeah some of that does look interesting the school students ones look really patronizing.

I will be making a point to see Tariq Ali and Slavoj Zizek this year. I'm also interested in going to some meetings on Iran if they're on.
