| Date | 02:27:58, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Wessex High Imperial Party | To | Debating the Justice Review Act |
| Message | Although we find the use of torture as we currently employ it to be too harsh, we do support the use of torture under dire circumstances to protect our country's welfare, so we oppose the absolutism in article 4. We also firmly believe that all able bodies prisoners should contribute to the good of the Empire, and must oppose article 3. We do support education plans for prisoners, and we will overlook article one. As written, WHIP must oppose this bill. |
