I am pleased to see that you are intending to come to Manchester and reprise the debates in October. I WILL be there!
Speaking of a free society, I've just listened to a report on the Today programme on a project by Newcastle University which has placed cameras in students' bins and if said students fail to recycle they are "named and shamed" on Facebook. They hope to roll it out to staff.
No-one sees anything wrong with this.
I despair.
