Once the debate is over no doubt they will all head to the nearest pub and get drunk.

Its like a townhall meeting in the USA where the local radical political party consisting of mostly university students who are in it for the giggle and free cocktail food have suggested a debate topic. The guy got enough votes to be elected in to his suburbs politics, and being a democracy he has every right to address the group.

I know Eastern Europeans won't under stand that, nor would they understand my support! in them having their say, certainly doesn't mean I agree with it however.

This is what the "White Nationalists" want voted into law

"Mr Popowski, who authored the motion, also urged the reintroduction of corporal punishment, arguing it was the "fairest" form of retribution because "we all feel the same pain".

He proposed 10 lashes for theft of a T-shirt, 1000 lashes for stealing a car (2000 if the vehicle is damaged), 5000 lashes for punching a police officer and 20,000 lashes for murder.

The floggings should be "delivered at 10 lashes per hour – every hour from 9am to 5pm, with one hour for lunch", Mr Popowski wrote. The sentence would be doubled for second-time offenders."

I should get off my ass and go it will be a colourful and hopefully informative debate.

What interests me in all this is how the story jumped thru the Murdoch machine so fast and into Russia.
