| Message | Mr Speaker, An interesting proposal. It should ensure that we don't educate too many of the working classes. |
| Date | 17:05:17, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Education Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Yes, education of the working classes would be a terrible thing. It might mean they might actually know what they're fighting for, and might resist an oppressor who invades! What a terrible calamity! I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, As usual, the Trashed Yuppies jump to the wrong conclusions, and make fools of themselves. The Tories respectfully request that they engage their brains before speaking. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is the Tory party that has made a fool of themselves. Calling for class war, sir? Whether wittingly or not you trotted out communist slogans. |
| Date | 17:12:34, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Education Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Perhaps the Trashed Yuppies could learn to tell the difference between basic, black-and-white divisions and common sense. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I understand what the Tories where attempting to say. In response: they don't need a degree to shoot foreigners. |
| Date | 11:27:26, August 03, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Education Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The honourable member evidently cannot see the wood for the trees! I yield the floor. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
