The News is a philosophical discussion group meeting at the Royal Oak Pub in Chorlton, Manchester, on 3 November 2026. Participants will explore various philosophical issues related to current events, guided by a facilitator. A donation is requested to cover room costs, and attendees can choose to engage in the discussion or simply listen.
**Sorry we are closed to new members as we are at capacity in our room.** Manchester Armchair Philosophers meet every Tuesday evening at the Royal Oak at 7.30 pm. What philosophical issues are there in the news? Amazingly plenty to ponder! Megan to Murderers, Slavery to sentencing. Led by Peter. Apologies to Mike who did leadership last week, I didn't get the message 👍 P. You are welcome to join in our discussion or just listen. If you want to present just have a chat with Peter next time. We need to pay for the room, photocopying etc., so please make a donation of £3 if you are unwaged, £4 if you are waged. Looking forwards to seeing you upstairs at the Royal Oak 7.30pm Tuesday evening . Our room is on the 1st floor. There is no lift. **Our rules** Whenever we engage in an intellectual discussion, our goal ought to be to converge on the truth. We can all promote reason by changing the mores of intellectual discussion, so people treat their beliefs as hypotheses to be tested rather than slogans to be defended. Whilst you may disagree with some ideas, we are here to have a civilised debate. To summarise, listen and be kind to each other. Enjoy your evening!
