Mr Hand.
a motion could be. “This house hates Human Rights” or “This house believes Freedom of Speech must include the Freedom to Hate”
I think this is a great motion!
This is a good suggestion. Any other ideas out there?
How about a motion regarding if people are born morally evil or if it depends on other, external factors i.e their upbringing?
That’s a good suggestion. Maybe something on the monarchy would be timely. Have a look at this article in The Grauniad http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/23/cut-anti-democratic-dynasty-out-of-politics
