| Message | Utterly ridiculous. You are proposing we surrender our civilized society for a nation of outlandish activity and an anarchy style dog-eat-dog nation. We will oppose you every step of the way. Interestingly, we see no reason why someone such as yourself that proposes a "radical new approach" should continue to support the epitomy of entrenched power, the monarchy. Your actions would be more reasonable if you joined the RDL in its fight against it. |
