[LAF] sex work talk

[steve ash]

Just got back online after my op.

Well we have a long time to advertise in several places the blurb was just for the bookfair website and they wanted it by the end of the week.

Dont forget that there will be write ups after the event so if people are disruptive that gets reported too. 

Yes I'm sure we'll get a counter speaker too.
