Dear Daphne,

you are doing a great service with your analysis of Maltese politics but I also very much miss your witty and (sometimes) sarcastic analysis of Maltese society. Here’s something that might bring the old Daphne back:

Tony Pace – Don’t flatter her! To the contrary, I consider her to be quite pathetic. I never normally read her trash, but was curious enough to do so around election time …

Well, if something IS illegal then it’s illegal whether you can prove it or not.

The question is whether something is actually illegal of merely unethical.

Anyway like I said mine was merely a curiosity.

To Amanda again
Actually that was a fib. I really missed the MB contribution. No matter how pathetic her comments about AS are, I have a warped sense of humour so I find them funny.

Hi Amanda mallia,
How true !
We have not heard from M.B, nor have we heardfrom Grace Borg, Maxine B Ganado etc etc., and that guru of all gurus, Jo Said. But then silence is golden and in our lot’s case, all’s well that ends well.
In fact Independent’s Gallerija was a pleasure to peruse this week :)

I have read the article about the supposedly new porn station in Malta. Maybe as you have saaid this is just a joke by the Labour party portal.

What I wonder is why are they gathering e-mail addressess from interested persons? What are they going to do with them? Will these addressess be used some day against any person??

Can this stance be considered as a breach of the Data Protection Act?

I think this is a very dangerous joke.

@ Daphne we have to distinguish between the voting document, and who you actually vote for.

If I tell a friend of mine I’ll buy you dinner if you vote for Party Y, it is going to be very hard to proof any criminal wrong doing.

If I tell him I’ll give you a beer for your voting document, and he does, then that’s another story.

Anglu Pink Elephant Farrugia has apparently not been clear on what he’s talking about.
