Cambridge Union rejects debating, adopts punching

A bit of light entertainment for a Monday morning: the senior officers of the Cambridge Union Society, the world's oldest debating society and home to several WSDC alums in recent years, have resigned following a physical fight in the Union chamber. Conflicting reports have made the British papers but this Daily Mail article is the most colourful.

Its rival, the Oxford Union, can't be too smug though giving its recent publicised troubles.
