M.Delicata, don&#039;t try to be smart, when in doubt the police will arrest you and they will show your pictures to the magistrate in court. You will be handed down the sentence you deserve according to law.
Just because the laws are archaic it does not follow that the police should not prosecute, and it’s because certain laws are old fashioned that people cannot be prosecuted on what they show and write on the internet.]]></description>

&quot;Probably Father David’s songs would be the surviving dodos together with a few others.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[The Police Commissioner might as well go through some of the world&#039;s most famous songs and issue a censorship list which artists can go through prior to performing. Probably Father David&#039;s songs would be the surviving dodos together with a few others.

Mr Rizzo might have to have his police force listen to records being played backwards to ensure there are no hidden phrases calling out for Satan and blaspheming to the audience&#039;s delight.

Isn&#039;t music an art too? Will Commissioner Rizzo be viewing paintings prior to exhibitions too, in order to ensure the pieces conform to his interpretation of &#039;publicly and morally acceptable&#039;? Mr Rizzo will surely not enjoy visiting some of the worlds capital cities  hosting some of the world finest art pieces since they may be deemed offensive or vulgar. Then again it&#039;s OK to have a penis-like monument, if one can use the word &#039;like&#039; there, for all tourists to enjoy upon arrrival in Luqa.

Ronan Keating, I assume, will also be asked to give in his lyrics prior to performing on our island in April, otherwise Mr Rizzo will be discriminating between performing artists.

Oh Daphne, you too may be requested to have your column vetted by Mr Rizzo soon, so that everyone will be treated equally and the general public will only be presented with &#039;acceptable&#039; media.]]></description>

What&#039;s wrong with that? Aren&#039;t Catholics allowed to hold high office? Or do you want to discriminate against Catholics?  Look what&#039;s happening to those who are not practising Catholics. They are just committing scandals one after the other.]]></description>

Ciommissioner Rizzo stop playing the magistrate&#039;s way. The earlier her resignation is tendered the better for one and all. You should not waste people&#039;s money in false accusations against those who blew the whistle on the magistrate and her boyfriend. They ruined themselves and don&#039;t let any sleazy police friends they might have ruin your reputation.]]></description>
