This week I’ve been working more with epolitix.com. They had a climate change symposium and invited me along to watch the debate and questioning. I left with one of the people in the office but got caught in massive traffic. Protesters were voicing themselves in Parliament square about the nuclear trident agreement. Greenpeace also hung a banner that read Tony <3 WMD. There were some protesters who were laying on the street with their arms cemented in barrels.
Anyway, this made us terribly late, but we arrived just in time for the discussion, but missed the amazing food. It was really interesting, and particularly good because it was in the genuine interest of people in the audience. I later learned it cost a hefty pound to attend this event.
When the symposium ended, my coworker and I found out that they saved all the lunch food warm for us. We feasted and she mentioned to me that we were inside The Commonwealth Club. Apparently it’s a member’s club that costs 2000 pounds a year to be a member. Wowzer. Anyaway, we split a cab back and I ended up getting out of work early. Sweet.
