Greetings, this is NBNN: The New Brittonian News Network with extremely tragic news from the capital city of Epsom , the Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Michael Falcon was assassinated earlier this afternoon by a member of a radical atheist group known as the Black Hand Society of Permanent Atheism or Death at John Parker International Airport while Mr. Falcon walking out of his car outside of terminal six. The gunman was reported to have walked up to him to shake his hand and pulled out a mouse gun pistol and shot him three times in the chest before Mr. Falcon’s security personnel shot the unnamed assassin. The assassin was found to have a note on his person with the following words “This was only the first”. The Black Hand Society is a radical atheist group who believes that the Communist Party of New Brittonia is too moderate and seeks its eventual destruction as well as the complete and utter eradication of religion and the indiscriminate killing of those with religious faith. Michael Falcon was a practicing member of the Roman Catholic faith and the first ever person of religious faith to reach a high government office since the Communist takeover of the New Brittonian parliament in 1959.

In our country, only one church is permitted. This is the Church of Bomble. The Bomblean government dictates what citizens believe and feel, eradicating free thought. A Bomblean religious task force is employed by the state to ensure anti-Bomble feelings and that any possible uprisings are quickly and brutally crushed.

This hard line restricts mass anti-religious sentiment from gaining momentum, ensuring the Church of Bomble goes about it's business as usual.

We advise you to do the same as we have, its a hell of a lot easier than keeping religious fanatics in check.

Regards,

John Brickyard
Foreign Religious Advice Minister
