Sorry to have missed this

As an American studying in the UK, I'm sorry I could not arrange a trip to London to join you for this event. I've continually been baffled by the mindset of my British friends who seem locked into sound bites and leftist slogans, seemingly unable to break free and engage discussions at a more substantial level.

Of course, this happens in the US as well; it just seems so much more palpable here in the UK, particularly when wed with anti-Americanism.

Though I missed this event, I do hope you let your readers know when either video or audio of the event are available. I'd dearly love to watch/hear it. Thank you for your good work.
