| Message | Its a Margaret Thatcher quote. After John Major had jumped her and became PM, he negotiated the Maastricht Treaty, which established the Euro. As a sensible person, Her Ladyship was opposed and summoned party members to vote against the treaty. The famous incident is when she told John something-or-other, when he thought he knew better, that his problem was that his spine didn't reach his brain. He left the meeting in tears, proof that the Iron Lady still reigns supreme. But really, I'm quasi disgusted with you anti-capitalist parties. It's actually rather annoying. |

| Message | This really isn't anti-capitalist, it's just pro-environment. |

| Message | Really, it is anti-capitalist. By banning GM processes, yield, production, viability and stamina are all significantly reduced, leading to less food and less profit, so that poor Tuttle's farmer-friends go for broke. |
