" I, Abu Daba Dub, the much honourable representative of the Guild of Fishers, corner of Roti and Canai Streets Gebra, wish to argue that the island of Leshp falls into Klathian fishing territory and as such should also be considered part of Klatchian territorial waters.

The Morporkians cannot make such claims to having a fishing fleet, Solid Jackson, is not a fleet. Although his garlic breath and wahooni odour often preclude anyone fishing in his territory. Ankh-Morpork's claim on Leshp lacks any economic basis, they wish to have to make war. Klath merely requires Leshp to make fish. The economic imperitive of free trade and maintaining existing wealth generation of the Klatchian people must outweigh any claim based merely on military goals.

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:

My distinguished colleagues, Ankh-Morpork has no wish to make war over the Isle of Leshp, why should we wish to fight over the fatuous claims of Klatch, one of whose representatives knows so much about the fishing trade that they believe fish grow on Islands, and not, as most people seem aware, in the sea.
Should we surrender this Isle to such people? The same people whose main contribution to mathematics has been nothing?

I ask you, ladies and gentlemen - should this historic park of A-M be entrusted, even on a temporary basis to such people?

Obviously the fishing industry is necessary to both countries, after all man cannot live on Sheep's Eyeballs alone!

The moderator tried to manage a fierce look, an effort which resulted in an unhappy and sourly, but not very determined expression. "Please! Tone down right now, Mister, or you'll not be allowed to sell during our meetings again! This house is private property, and ... Oh, well.
Each party, two more statements are allowed, and then we'll see who scored, so to say, on the debate... The jury will pass their statement after a few minutes break, and then we can start another debate, right? Thanks."

If not, I'm just going to finish this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. :-)

Then the case will be settled, the island is ours to reap the rewards and plunder its resour... I mean ours to take care of in a manner that befits such an important slice of local history.
