| Message | Bad policy all round. We happily dismiss this. OOC: TCP - you need to put some kind of description in. We've had this issue discussed in moderation before, and the consensus of moderator opinion is that some minimalist description (at least) is required. Realistically, you're not going to be popular in government if you treat your colleagues so contemptuously. |
