Colonial League responds to Earth critics
July 10th, 2011
Colonial League President Savion Hunter appeared via holo from Demeter on BBC Morning today, as the League fired back at its critics in the ongoing row over its “Declare Your Independence” ad campaign. Responding to governments who accused the League of whitewashing the dangers faced by colonists, Hunter responded “The Colonial League isn’t a bunch of wildcat colonies out in the Terminus, we’re the oldest, safest, and most established ex-solar colonies, we’re all loyal to the Alliance and all under the Alliance’s protection.”
Hunter also countered accusations that the ads painted a misleading portrait of colonial life, saying that Earth was similarly using bad news about the colonies to promote its own agenda. “Everyone with a stake in keeping humans on Earth latched onto stories like the geth attack on Eden Prime or the attack on Elysium – they’re trying to scare people into staying. Without humans on Earth, who’s going to buy all their consumer products, take out new lines of credit, be entertained by their mindless media? Who’s going to pay the exorbitant taxes that fund the pet projects of politicians? Who’s going to be subjected to all the new regulations Earth’s bureaucrats dream up? Earth used to have a monopoly on livable space for humans. Now it doesn’t. We’re just showing Earth’s people what Earth’s leaders don’t want them to see!”
