    This is not a contact page it’s a comment board. Actually there appears to be no way to contact you guys, which is annoying because I have an important question about people who need space for the event tomorrow.

      David, sorry the email address is at the top of the page but has (at) instead of @ to stop spam trawlers selling us viagra, watches etc. I’ll email you directly with some of the organisers for this event’s contact details. Cheers.

    Marvellous!

    Sorry, but I am compelled to make a small criticism: please check your spelling and use of words such as effect/affect. Such mistakes can adversely affect your image and weaken your influence.

    I love today’s video, and the lectures are excellent 🙂

    This initiative is wonderful, especially the idea of reading Capital, but why does it have to start so bloody early on a weekday? How are — WORKERS — supposed to attend from 4pm in the afternoon pray tell?

      Not much we can do about the lecture times. There will be a parallel reading/discussion group that will take place in the evenings. Details will be posted on the blog when they are sorted.

    good morning , i am Professor Frank Owen PhD MA B&Q MFI
    I received my PhD from the “University of Saint Martin in the twelve hour night shifts on the factory floor since i was 16 in the fields” and i am an experienced lecturer in “subversive home improvement”
    I would like to offer my congratulations and good wishes to the University of Strategic Optimism – Bravo! the idea of giving a series of public lectures, in public spaces that would otherwise be used to the detriment of the public , is genius.
    where there is ingnorance and fear , may you bring truth and optimism.

    A random idea… but what about a freeze/mass sing-a-long style protest to this:

    I am a recent graduate concerned by the current state of our country/ economy (aren’t we all!). However, rather than smash windows at Millbank and attack the royal convey, (unfortunately leading to the branding of all disgruntled students as violent anarchists); I decided to write a song! Please have a listen, I’m sure you will love it! And help to spread this refreshingly satirical take on British politics around the world.

    I wonder if one of the erudite professors at UFSO would like to give a lecture on the theme celebrated in the latest Green Paper from the Cabinet Office. A worthy successor to the free free market market. Yes, you’ve guessed! The theme is Giving. So much to say, so little time. http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/giving-green-paper.

    I am the 1% of the 99%, which means I’m fucked. Tell me what I should do.

      We wholeheartedly agree! Don’t be taken anywhere by a grain of salt if you are not already friends, or if they are acting suspiciously. If they are being friendly, then we don’t know, make your own mind up?
