This is an important debate. Any chance it could be live streamed or recorded and broadcast for a wider audience?
I will ask
Will it be videoed and put on YouTube? Or the university’s website?
I hope so.
I’d love to go but I’m working.
I will ask
Thank you.
I’d second those same requests.
Also an item that I think should be considered is that the Corbyn Labourites should undertake a ‘self denying ordinance’ of never being employed by a bank – and perhaps ask the so called moderates to join them. Cameron in PMQs was recently able to point out that Blair, Brown and Darling were all employed by banks or bond traders and whilst I’m not sure exactly what they offer them, I’m sure they are getting handsomely paid and that both helps to keep them onside and pro bank, and also helps to put banks on the inside track with government. Half of the Conservatives at least came from a bank to start with so for them it’s just the normal shady deal of the revolving door. Labour should take a leaf out of Bernie Sanders’ book who is brave enough to say he’s going to sort out Wall Street.
Labour could very clearly differentiate themselves with a ‘stand clear of the banks’ undertaking.
I promise you I have mno intention of working for banks
Or the Big 4 again (last time 32 years ago)
