Thornberry: "What a disgraceful joke of an organisation."

POLITICO | In what may have been her most condemning statement in her political career, Labour Democrat Emily Thornberry MP has lashed out at comments made by UFID leadership -- in particular by Ms. Karen Watson. This comes as a surprise, considering Ms. Thornberry has been deemed by many as reserved, calculated and non-impulsive.
"It seems Ms. Watson is painfully oblivious to the task and workings of the Imperial Government during wartime. Every single aspect of the war is being run as an extension of the governmental departments which make up the War Cabinet. It is our Department of National Service which keeps our armed forces well trained and well stocked with brave young men and women from across the country. It is our Departments relating to War Industry that both supplement and modernise our armed forces, with new naval and aerial models expected to be launched at the end of the year -- giving us the edge in terms of tactical warfare. It is the Chancellery and the Defence Department which play a crucial role in the outlining of military operations and the way we approach the difficult task ahead. It has been our Chancellor that has spent sleepless nights speaking with officials, both military and civil, into the wee hours of the night to review and draft operations and initiatives to be carried out by the government for the benefit of the war effort. This government, a government composed of 75% of the electorate, from all walks of life, creeds and political ideologies, has guided this nation through these dark years on our path towards victory. What was a dire situation at the beginning has now turned into one of opportunity; one where we can liberate our allies, regain dominance of the seas and push our enemies to the holes they crawled out of. In addition to all this, comparing Arum and Verzarent's operations in the west; the second and third most powerful nations in the Nilira Alliance; who are taking on the substantially less threatening forces of Faraal and Jeet; to Falleentium's efforts in the entire eastern and central hemisphere on pretty much it's own is disingenuous and outright silly to say. While this government has given strong and stable leadership -- what has UFID done? What have they done for the soldier, the worker, the mother and the vulnerable during these darkest of times?... Absolutely nothing. What a disgraceful joke of an organisation this must be, attacking a nation's government who are fighting for survival, merely for political gain and greed. These people don't care about the Empire, these people don't care about democracy -- so what is left? Ego and greed which weakens the nation's morale, which weakens the nation's unity, and which ultimately separates us -- not unite us. Quite ironic for the "United People" isn't it?"
