| Message | Mr Speaker, We cannot overstate our opposition to this outright attack on the freedom of expression. There's a reason freedom of expression exists; to protect expressions which are unpopular and controversial. Although we dislike seeing our flag being desecrated, we have to suck it up, and put up with this sort of practise. If you restrict something such as this, demand to do it will only grow, that's what banning things does. We urge the legislature to join us in opposition to this bill; it is regretful the Lib Dems, our coalition partners have agreed to this attack on freedom. Sadiq Mandal, UNC Leader, Former President |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
