Pascal Lamy, the EU Trade Commissioner, today visited St Anthony's College in Oxford to give a talk on the economic power of the EU.
This was quite disappointing; Lamy is an incredibly powerful man and a leading exponent of neoliberal globalisation, so for Oxford not to be able to muster a visible demonstration against him is a bit crap...especially given our successes in the past with the likes of Madeleine Albright.
All in all, a mixed evening...while Lamy and his flunkies were left in no doubt as to the presence of 'altermondialistes' in Oxford, and to their hostility to Lamy, I can't help feeling that an opportunity was missed.
