For tonight’s main event, will you please welcome in the red corner, the Guardian newspaper’s unbeaten intellectual heavyweight champion of free speech, one of the UK’s foremost thinkers and environmentalists, and polemicist supreme ‘gentleman’ George Monbiot. The gloves are off for a barnstorming evening of topical debate in which our man Monbiot selects a hot topic for his first half lecture and then invites members of the audience to contest this with him. In the second half, he throws down the gauntlet to all comers and will take any subject from A to Z as the audience pit their wits against him in bouts of verbal fisticuffs.
