Roger Knapman and Damian Hockney at the Cambridge Union

Nigel Garage · 13-10-2005, 02:52 PM

The Cambridge Union is hosting a debate tonight on Britain's membership of the EU. Speaking against our membership are Teddy Taylor, Roger Knapman and Damian Hockney. Yes, Knapman and Hockney are on the same side!

Sounds like a good team to me. :wink:

Isn't Patrick Eston going to be there too.

Whoda thunk it, all the ego's coming together in one unholy force. Keep this up and there might be a *gasps* united anti-EU voice.

Patrick Eston will be there !

Roger Gough · 13-10-2005, 06:05 PM

Which worthies are speaking pro? and.........Do we find the scores in the Boxing results?

Jethro Tull · 14-10-2005, 09:28 AM

Knapman didn't bother to turn up. :shock:

mkpdavies · 14-10-2005, 09:32 AM

Was an excuse given at all?

Here is the evidence that he was due to appear (though Hockney is not down).

Apparently nothing said - just didn't turn up.
Am led to believe that Labour MP Bill Rammell was very scathing of UKIP, stating he had proof of UKIP being in discussions with BNP. The usual claptrap about being racist etc. Obviously, Rammell is not in touch with reality. By all accounts, Teddy Taylor, and Patrick Eston performed extremely well.

Was Hockney there?

Did Rammell give any of his evidence about BNP connections?
