Laurie Penny: The government has stolen the younger generation's future - IQ2 debates

[MrToadful]

So she was invited to debate in a team with Willetts, but instead decides to take cheap shots at her debating ally instead. Lovely woman.

education is expensive because the government made it so.

She's worth a fuck, that's about it. I don't think she should be speaking at a conference with the word "intelligence" in the title though. She's more of a staunch cunt with a bee in her bonnet than she is an intelligent, thoughtful human being.

I like Laurie. I may not agree with many of her points, but she has the bravery to stand up and be counted. I'm sure that she would thank me for pointing this out, but she is fit too.

a bit of charisma may have helped her case

This is really childish, hysterical student posturing. Penny is a becoming more and more a spartist throwback with a rather sad constituency which she seems to forget are largely a product of 13 years of proto-socialism. GIven her conduct, typical of her ilk, how could she ever effect any sort of change? She's become quite the master of disingenuously ignoring any facts that demolish her argument and ploughs on regardless, never happier than being on the fringes of sanity.

"Penny is a becoming more and more a spartist throwback..." For some reason I doubt you were ever a fan...

Socialism works until you run out of other people's money.

[FlourescentPotato]

@LeDaftRobot It works until you break it, like many things.

LOL Penny Red has a agenda to follow, one funded by the Grauniad and the Independent. What a moron spouting unrealistic rhetoric. You talk about fairness, what's fair about saddling our children with trillions of pounds of debt?

An Excellent Stand against a Panel of complacent policy makers

A bit monotone but very TRUTHFUL and a shame
