The more i am thinking about it, the more i am convinced that what will happen 
is that people will turn up only for the reason to be disruptive. And i really 
don't see the point of having 'a panel of one', that would still polarise the 
issue (you either agree with the speaker or disagree).

I think that we can actually do something more provacative, start advertising 
with something like "Is there anybody who claims to be both an anarchist and an 
anti-prostitution activist? LAF cannot find a single person to take 
anti-prostitution side of the open debate for the bookfair." In the perfect 
world i would hope that the only people who'd respond would be people who oppose 
to prostitution on the grounds of anti-capitalism, but regardless that would be 
good for us.
