Ideas of fairness in society are
also explored by Observer column-
ist and leader of the government’s
Fair Pay Review Will Hutton, third
down, who will be followed by writers
and speakers from Occupy London
on what their challenging interna-
tional movement aims to achieve.
Author of Shattered Lives: Chil-
dren who live with Courage and
Dignity Camila Batmanghelidjh,
bottom, knows exactly what she
wants to achieve: a better life for
battered children. As does Brigid
Moss with her talk on IVF treatment
and people’s wish simply to have
children; and local author Lynne
Copp on what the contents of your
handbag represent and lipstick
leadership.
By way of entertainment, there’s
a luscious literary cabaret with the
terrifically-grown up Scary Little
Girls and glamorous best-selling
rom-com authors Ali McNamara
and Jane Costello; an hour of verbal
mischief-making with Edinburgh
award-winning word-watching
funny-man Alex Horne; and a live
recording for Radio 4 of the Won-
dermentalist show.
As well as these, there are also
over 50 other events that include
poets, novelists, scientists, competi-
tions and comedians in venues all
round town, including community
poets from Toothill telling the story
of their community (see page 13).
