Cybersalon Net Politics – April 24th 2013 Summary

Part of the Then and Now Series of Talks

Event Summary- by Eva Pascoe, Alexandra Reynolds & Niki Gomez

On an unusually hot and steamy April day our regular hangout Arts 
Catalyst (Clerkenwell, London) felt rather cool and breezy with the 
beers being nicely chilled in the giant kegs (Cyberpolitics is a thirsty 
business). Last preparations done, projector on, pizzas in the oven for 
the hungry Clerkenwellians and we were ready to kick-off our session on 
Net Politics Then and Now. To be frank, we were not sure what to expect 
as the original Netpolitics event was planned months before the funeral 
of Mrs Thatcher when all appeared very theoretical and safe. However, 
with the ashes barely cooling on the effigy burial in Goldthorpe, the 
political temperature in town seemed to have reached new proportions. 
But brave souls we are, after much debate we decided to face it head on 
and proceed. Our invitees were from very diverse backgrounds and we were 
quietly preparing for the evening to turn into a rally or a fist-fight 
(which depends on your definition of the successful political event).
