I'd like to bring to your attention, if you haven't already been informed, that the Ministry has been attacked three times in the past week.
First, one of the Inner Circle was stabbed at the Halloween Ball, right under our noses. There were a variety of other events that night as well, so let us just count the entire ball as an attack.
Second, water at the Ministry was poisoned earlier this week. Victims complained of blurred vision and hair growth on their palms. The poison used has been identified, and we are working on tracing the source of the attack.
Most recently, likely Wednesday night, someone cast graffiti all over the walls. It's ridiculous filth no one needs to see and maintenance finally managed to get it covered for the most part around noon. Unfortunately, there is a magical element to the rubbish on the walls and it keeps permeating through simple coverings. We'll require some advanced spellwork to get it removed, and some of those have already offered their services in breaking the charms.
In conclusion, I think it is wise to say that we must bring the battle to our enemies and take the offensive, not sit in our mansions, castles, and stately homes, living like lofty yet ignorant rulers just waiting to be overthrown due to delusions of grandeur and security. Sometimes I ask myself if any of you have worked an honest day in your miserable lives. So many of you are pathetic, and how the majority of you even became part of this society or remained within it is beyond me. Most of you wouldn't survive in the true wizarding culture of old. You'd be kicked to the dirt like so many of the blood traitors today, because you lack the strength and dedication to your own immediate bloodline. And h
To keep something, you must maintain it. Until the majority of these rebels are caught, I would like to give my opinion that any future plans for grand parties should be put on indefinite hold.

A little more to the left next time.

If anyone has seen suspicious visitors around the Ministry this week or has any information regarding suspicious individuals, contact the DMLE.
To the idiot who did the graffiti at the Ministry, you really generalise too much. I wouldn't quit your day job anytime soon if I were you.
