| Message | "We oppose Article 1; the Foreign Office needs to retain sovereign control over which nations can sent dignitaries and citizens to live and work in this country. We furthermore oppose Article 2; this is dangerous as part of security strategy to not perform at least cursory background checks on those we issue official documentation to.
