I'm in Norwich much of today.
I'm speaking in the students union at the University of East Anglia at lunchtime (12.30 start, room 1.28).
Then at 3.00 I'm at The Workshop in Earlham Road.
At 5.00 I'm at Occupy Norwich, speaking before the 5.30pm march to Norwich Castle to celebrate Kett's Rebellion of 1549.
And finally I'm speaking at the Norwich Green Party dinner tonight.
Blogging may be quiet.

I am sure that the event in the SU at UEA will be well attended and the students and academics will enjoy your speech and discussion about your book. From my memory as a postgrad student in Development Studies there was little enthusiasm for neoliberalism.
Good luck Richard – I’m sure your speech will be well received.
Cheers

Thanks!
Richard, when you are back blogging at full output, I do hope you’ll say something about the astonishing state of affairs that Cameron appears to be going into the EU Summit with one demand only – that unless the City of London is exempted from the Financial Transaction tax (which I take to be exactly the same as the Tobin, or Robin Hood, Tax?), then he will block all and any attempts by the Eurozone to do what they think they need to do to shore up the euro and stop an immediate credit crunch which will send the whole continent into recession.
Now I totally agree that Merkozy et al have got it all wrong on austerity, but this is an extraordinary position for Cameron to adopt. It utterly abandons the British national interest, which is that the grotesque excesses of computerised millisecond by millisecond trading be tamed and achieve some social & economic benefit by being taxed a little (and obviously that there is no new credit crunch), in favour of defending at all costs the greed of the City. What greater proof of the utter capture of the highest levels of the UK Government by the financier interest could be observed?
