Ah Thorn - your passion obscures your point, you talk of unity in one breath, and point an accusing finger in another. Trafalgar has not experienced the frictions you talk about, but we go about our business quietly. I have seen a build up of smugglers using Leeds as a bridge to Liberty & Tau, but there has always been an ebb & flow in these parts. A few will get caught & the majority will learn - always happens, especially around Cricket season.
Some of your observations however need addressing.
Firstly, the only time I have seen trouble between a Junker & another was when a Congress member started using New London as a play ground. I told him we didnt need his protection - he said he was busy and did what he wanted. If your listening to this Tink, this is not good & I warned you that some would behave this way. Remember our discussions about parallel histories. Conflict effects our neutrality - lets not invite it, & especially where I operate.
Secondly, I agree that non-Junker smuggling operations are using our IFFs as a cover, & I will start to collate names in Bretonia for future review. Let the Guard deal with them on a case-by-case basis and lets look to make the odd example on those without friends. Id accept a payback on the rest. We certainly shouldnt use the authorities to police our business.
Thirdly, Ill trade whatever I want & you can trade whatever you want. Come now Thorn, this is the Junker way.
Lastly, dont shun non-affiliated Junkers. Im one (and with the greatest British respect) I seem to have less problems than your affiliated Union does.
