| Message | And why, it is foolish to keep them doing nothing, like is currently the case. I hope you can think about the tax-payer, because they are the ones being punished for their crimes. But offcourse, this cabinet will not have any respect for the tax-payer. We are dissappointed in the Barltic Party, who says to be acting for the people of Aldegar, but forget that that group of people is now being stolen more money, just to fund the homes of criminals. What an outrage. We hope that this parliament can come to it's senses and do the right thing, make prisoners pay for their life, instead of the tax payer. |
