Quote of the day

"I would like a message to come from Hay to the Prime Minister to say ‘Please set up a Citizen's Convention to save our democracy’." Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, speaking at the Hay Festival

Thought for the day

"They say things like 'This is a war on dangerous drugs' but when you actually go down to the street corner and see how it's waged and what its implications are, it’s actually a war against the poor. It may have begun as one thing but now this is a war against the underclass." David Simon, writer of The Wire, speaking at the Hay Festival

The Guardian Hay Festival 2010 will run from 27 May – 6 June. We look forward to seeing you then!
