THB China Threatens Western Democracy

THB Populism is a Force For Good

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 Fear Zuckerberg

Hello to all! Our fourth debate of the year took place on 11 October 2018 in the Senate Room. It was an absolute corker this time (not least because yours truly spoke in it ;), as we debated the motion: 

"This House Would Fear Zuckerberg"

Speeches start at 00:51:26.
