THW Create an EU Superstate
At the beginning of April over 50 members of the society gathered in the Great Hall to send it off for the year and to discuss the issue of Europe and Brexit, the great cloud hanging over our heads. It was a right corker.
Sorry if the audio's a little hazy in places. The Great Hall echoes like hell. And also sorry this is so late. Exams and every got in the way, but it's here now. My last debate as Tech Officer. Wow...
I'll have the AGM up in a day or two and I'll get all mushy and sentimental then. Stay tuned.

THB Children are the Property of The State
Hello again! The Literific met once again this Thursday, gathering over 50 members in the Senate Room to discuss the issue of children and to what extent we hate the wee oiks. Then, we realised the Children's Commissioner for NI, Koulla Yiasouma, was our guest chair and settled on the motion:
"This House Believes Children Are the Property of the State"
Speeches start at 00:47:16.
Join us again next week for our special Godkin debate.
