| Message | Why is it that the Radical Freedom Party is willing to pass authoritarian state-control laws to combat a non exist threat and have the nerve to lecture us on national security and then vote against an act giving Rutanians equal access to bomb shelters? |

| Message | I would advise the Rt. Hon. gentleman to read the Federated States of Rutania Daily now and then to see what is going on in the magical world of reality. There *have* actually been terrorist attacks on Rutania - over 50 people were killed in Bozarland a while ago. The government did nothing to prevent future attacks. Conversely, we have proposed (succesfully) measures to empower local democracies to take care of their own civil defence. We believe that this has enhanced defence, not crippled it. |

| Message | 4 years ago... and nothing to say that it was caused by religious extremists who had been told to do so by priests. So sorry, but you still have no justification. And in what way does removing a blanket coverage of shelters and giving local Governments the opportunity to remove parts of that network enhance defence...? Do you actually know what you're talking about? |
