| Message | Whilst we applaud the LoP for their tough stance on crime, the prospect of the SLP taking New Theta and ourselves to court over the "disaster" at Mynnyd Mawr would make us foolish indeed to support at this time. |

| Message | This is an atrocious bill and would open the door to a variety of human rights violations and abuses. |

| Message | Why do some people think that the mere mention of "Xenu" will somehow hurt, mock or silence Scientologists? Understand the basics of Auditing, about "joiner incidents", the irrelevance of "engramic" content and the actual purpose of engramic reduction and erasure, and you'll soon realise that all this talk and emphasis on Xenu (as if its supposed to be some core religious belief shared by all Scientologists) is completely nonsensical and rather, dare i say it, ignorant. Do your homework! ;o) |

| Random fact: Submitting a bill without any proposals in it will not attract or detract voters. It will not raise your visibility or change your political position. |
| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
