Literific AGM 2019
Well, my last recording for the Society before I head off to Belgium. It's been a ride folks. See you in a year!
On 12 March 2019 our members gathered in the Senate Room to amend the Constitution, elect the new Council and reflect on the quality of the 170th Session.
Elections start at 01:08:29.

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.

THW Invade Earth
This week 40 members gathered in the Senate Room to discuss whether, should aliens ever come across us and possess the power to do so, it would be in their best interests to invade our dear earth and overthrow humanity. Please enjoy:
"This House Would Invade Earth."
Speeches start at 00:46:03.
Don't forget to tune in next week for the AGM on Tuesday and our Annual Duffering Competition on Thursday.

THW Censor Historical Works
Happy New Year everyone! We're back for another semester's worth of debates for you, the people. Last Thursday 45 members gathered in the senate room to discuss censorship and whether it's ever justified. Also Mr Hubble read us a very rude poem about Brexit. Please enjoy:
"This House Would Censor Historical Works"
Speeches start at 00:49:16.
Join us again next week for a nice, spiritual debate about sins and whether we should forgive them or not.
