This should be good value for money.

My only disappointment is that Hitch is probably one of the few people who wouldn't attempt some sort of derail regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Blairs reply to questions about Afghanistan and Iraq is always the same. He believed that it was the right thing to do at the time. It doens't make for particually stimulating discussion.

It's just so unexpected. What the fuck have these two people got in common? If you told me earlier this was going to happen I would've thought you were fucking with me.

They're both anglo-American supremacist warmongers who believe it's the right and proper role of the enlightened west to invade sovereign countries on the basis of barefaced lies, massacre their inhabitants and steal their natural resources.

Can't say I share your enthusiasm about the debate. Seeing that cunt Bliar sitting there would just remind me of everything I hate about Hitchens.

Yum, what a clash of egos! Ol' Tone will equivocate for his life, natch, but it's a good opportunity for a sound moral drubbing from Hitch - but only if he keeps it to religion.

Mr. Hitchens, in contrast, has renewed his beliefs in atheism

Bookmarking, can someone try to remember to bump this when the time comes so I remember please? I'm guessing it'll be available to watch somewhere shortly afterwards?

This is the same place that hosted that debate about freedom of speech where Hitchens did really well.

Neither of their names contain any of the letters in the word 'mud'. Ironically.

lol!

On the question of religion, however, they are so far apart that the organisers revised the original idea of having them debate whether God exists. Instead, Mr Blair will speak in favour of the motion: "Be it resolved, religion is a force of good for the world."

Yep. Blair would get the floor wiped with him. The spineless twat doesn't want to debate someone if there's a chance he might get beaten. Always been his way.

Even if Christopher Hitchens dies prior to the event he should still wipe the floor with Blair.
