Subject: Turkey parliament brawls over changes to constitution
Members of Turkey's governing AK party and pro-Kurdish politicians have traded blows in parliament over plans to strip MPs of their immunity from prosecution.
The brawl erupted as a committee met to discuss the government-backed changes to the constitution.
Some parliamentarians launched themselves into the melee from a table, others threw water or aimed punches.
The opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) say the move is aimed at stifling dissent.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for members of the pro-Kurdish HDP to face prosecution, accusing them of being an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
Several parliamentarians were injured in the fighting.
A session last week on the constitutional changes also broke up in violence.
Blimey eh ?
.. and not a Palin involved
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

Reminds me of home.
But I must say these brawls are even better than those in the Ukr parliament. The guy standing on the chair in the end is just brilliant. And kudos to the gentleman who wrestled his way right through the fight in order to help get the girl out of it.

Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all... Bartertown learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two men enter; one man leaves.
So.....it begins

Aye... NATO member Turkey surely has legitimate beef with the Kurds, unlike say Saddam in Iraq or the Iranian and Syrian regimes. Terrorists when they fight our "friends", freedom fighters when fighting the bad guys.
