Fox is more Institute of Ideas than Spiked, Furedi is semi-detached. Hume and O'Neill on the other hand are irritating as hell.

I like a lot of what Claire Fox has to say, and when we spoke at the same conference last year, she really did awe with her ability to wipe the floor with her opponent in a debate. But I know for a fact that she and the LM crew have some extremely bonkers ideas about how their current posturing is going to bring about the Marxist revolution they want. Barmy but fun, apart when they're being this annoying. Could this guy sound any more like the dork nobody asked to the prom? It’s a weird one.
