As Ukraine prepares for parliamentary elections at the end of the month, a series of so-called "trash bucket challenges" are spreading across the country.
Activists, many from the far right, are throwing politicians whom they say are corrupt into rubbish bins.
Some of them have been brutal, and one official was also severely beaten. Critics have called the actions mob justice, and ask what this means for the rule of law in Ukraine in the future.

One official in Odessa (the first of the videos below) is accused of stealing £30,000 meant for rehabilitation of refugee children.
There is also a wall of shame that shows politicians many feel who have not done enough to fight corruption. Rotten tomatoes are being thrown at that wall.

Whilst I would never condone severely beating up politicians (and I'm undecided about throwing them into rubbish bins mainly because there are a few that might deserve it (as long as they are not physically hurt)), I am rather taken with the idea of the 'wall of shame' and throwing rotten tomatoes at photographs of useless or corrupt MPs.
What's your take on what is happening in Ukraine?
If there was a wall of shame in Britain, would you make use of it? Which MP would you be taking aim at?
