| Message | Mr Speaker, Although we understand the desire of equality set forth by the more liberal parties, we are concerned that in the heat of battle, men and women might be destracted from their work at a crucial if not vital moment. I yield |
| Date | 07:13:25, July 23, 2009 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Equality Act |
| Message | LDP of Luthori Secretary to the Imperial Diet, the Rt Hon. David Bowman: "Mr Speaker, Unlike our allies at the CIL, we have full faith in the self-control and discipline of our armed forces. We do not see the potential for distraction to be of any concern and we fully support the abolition of the ridiculous discrimination in the military. Hell, for all we know most of the armed forces could be gay and would already be distracted - and we wouldn't know for sure thanks to the equally ridiculous "don't ask, don't tell" policy that has been in place for too long. I yield." |
