News of these expulsions . Mat news of these expulsions . Not surprised. News of these expulsions . Not surprised, not news of these expulsions . Iirrt surprised, not really shocked. Sad on the bed.

And i think it was 20 in favour of a change, seven against and one undecided at The End of those deliberations.
