Today in Oxford two #blueplaques are being unveiled celebrating philosophers. First is Iris Murdoch’s, at 30 Charlbury Road (and the portrait of her I used to sit under as an undergraduate in the Philosophy Faculty’s old Ryle Room).
Delighted to say I was able to procure a selfie with @sparksofficial last night.

Hello, help! All our gear got nicked recently, so we’re fundraising to replace it. We need a new PA, which is the biggie, plus mics, cables etc,
Only donate if you can afford it, but if you can we’d really appreciate anything you can spare! gofund.me/cca8eefb
