I can't believe it's my turn to sinner-blog euros from afar...this makes me old. And a hack. And old.
At any rate, this is the news we have so far...
To begin with the not so new news for avid sinners, these are the teams for whom we're rooting, don't y'know;
St Andrews A: James Beadle and Miles Wood
St Andrews B: Rachael Whitbread and Daniel Berman
St Andrews C: Laura Mattina and Maddy Grieve
St Andrews D: Sarah Whitham and Chris Harper
*YAY - go teams!*
Motions so far;
Round 1 THW allow the police to use entrapment.
Round 2 THW use the education system to instill moral norms in children beyond mere obedience to the law.
Round 3 THW grant citizenship to illegal migrants who report on work-place exploitation.
Round 4 THW have gay rights supporters oppose gay marraige.
Round 5 THBT western liberal countries have a moral duty to spread democracy across the world using force where necessary.
Round 6 THBT custody hearings should not take a child's biological parentage into account.
I like Sam Block's motions. They are all about principles and they are fun. Still, nothing wildly outrageous here (for my money), perhaps excepting r3. Opinions?
On the gossip - controversy - scandal front...Newcastle's einsteinic grapple with time continues. Round 1 ran late, apparently after some teams went 'missing' from the tab. This led to a referendum about whether to cut a round. The opposition to such a move resounding, Newcastle went ahead and cut round 8 anyway...
The excitement continues, people. Stay glued...
