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.
