Dear Jenny,
I hope that the damage that was a target to your father,reaches the master mind.I believe in your father,but I can’t vote for him because he isn’t a candidate in my district,but I encourage the people in his disticts to vote for him.He is a good candidate and even when the party that he believe in was wrong he went against for example the landfill in Hagar Qim.I hope by time the authors of this lie pays for it.
Thank you

Daphne.
First and foremost keep it up and my full solidarity to you and your family for being made a target by the NEW LABOUR (my caps).
Daphne all I can say about Malta under a Nationalist government is that whenever I needed to change my work or at the end of a contract I needed a new job I always found one with better wages and conditions. The secret which eludes many labour supporters is that you are ready to work hard and be honest, that way you do not need a minister to find a job for you.Self respect and personal sacrifice has meant that from a factory worker I am now in a top position earning higher then average wage, cause while brining up a family I still found time to study (I had to make up for the time the old Labour stole from me when I was young).
Keep it up and may the good Lord bless Malta with another Nationalist government (at least for the next 50 years).
Thanks

well done Daphne for consistently laying out the truth so transparently, in a country where we sadly and desperately need it. I am giving JPO my number one, because no man can fake the intense frustration he obviously felt at the allegations made against him. I have always voted PN, and will do this time too, because if MLP get in, most people will end up feeling the oppression, frustration, and injustice he is clearly feeling. I will never vote for a party that acted as they did in the 80’s. The past month has shown us that MLP is still capable of such gross miscarriages of justice.

Very good point, Mr Moderator. A very succint, precise and sharp reply to the statement by the Institute of Journalists. I mean, we are Nationalists are we? Truth on our side is-sewwa jirbah zgur and all that jazz. What need do we have for arguments? Some jokes will do nicely. So that we can show that humourless Sant a thing or two.

L-Istitut tal-Gurnalisti Maltin (IGM) illum hass li ghandu juri d-dispjacir tieghu kif id-Dipartiment ta’ l-Informazzjoni halla ssir parodija tal-professjoni tal-gurnalizmu meta hareg Press Card lil kandidat elettorali, liema decizjoni mbaghad wasslet biex giet sfrattata Konferenza Stampa organizzata mill-Awtorita’ tax-Xandir fuq il-mezzi tax-xandir Nazzjonali.

L-Istitut ihoss li kienet din id-decizjoni mhux professjonali li holqot bla bzonn il-kwistjoni tallum, meta huwa fatt maghruf minn hafna kemm l-istess Dipartiment ta’ l-Informazzjoni sikwit isibha konvenjenti li jichad il-hrug ta’ Press Card lil individwi li jkollhom kaz ferm izjed konvincenti minn dak ta’ kandidat elettorali.

Waqt li jikkundanna din il-parodija tal-professjoni tal-gurnalizmu demokratiku fi zmien daqstant delikat ta’ elezzjoni generali fil-pajjiz, l-Istitut jinnota b’sodisfazzjon li l-Awtorita’ tax-Xandir, f’ruling li tat, ghamlitha cara li dak kollu li gara kien imur kontra r-regoli u l-kundizzjonijiet tax-xandiriet politici skjedati minnha.

Fl-istess hin, l-Istitut jappella lil kulhadd biex il-gurnalisti Maltin, huma ta’ min huma, ma jibqghux jizzeffnu fin-nofs mill-politici qishom xi pupazzi li jridu jizfnu ghall-muzika taghhom, tant li llum gejna fi stat fejn gurnalist spicca jintalab icedi postu biex issehh il-parodija li sehhet.

[Moderator – Victor, why don’t you publish the press release from the Health Services stating that it was illegal for Alfred Sant to demonstrate the use of a kitchen to the public without the appropriate Food Handling Safety certificate?]

I can’t not comment once again in order to express my admiration towards Jenny PO as well. Having been a close friend of her’s for a number of years, I can’t deny that such a situation has managed to enrage and anger me as well, simply because I know the kind of people that both Jeffrey and Jenny are.

The fact that Sant walked out of the Press Conference today also makes me believe further that Sant has no guts (no pun intended) to even speak in front of JPO, simply because he has nothing to back up his claims. If he’s so confident that this is a scandal, why won’t he speak to Jeffrey face-to-face, man-to-man?!? I’m sure it’s a burning question that everyone wants to know the answer to sometime or another… I just saw the footage of the continuation of this scandal this morning, and Sant chickened away once more…

As I stated before, seeing that I know both of them, this has angered me too. Jeffrey is a man of his credentials. I admire Jeffrey for continuing to clear his name and once again deplore the MLP Leader for his actions. He truly is shameful.

First of all, well done Daphne for your, well documented, coverage of the up-coming general elections, particularly that which reveals the ridiculous and despicable nature in which Alfred Sant is conducting his political campaign! Secondly, I’d like to show my support to you Jen! Your admirable courage and solidarity you showed your father and the PN is one that further encourages us first-time voters to do our part to safe-guard our country from falling into the abhorrent hands of the MLP!

Dear Inland Revenue,

I am not a contractor. Nor am I a director in a business firm. I don’t build houses nor am I a rich person.

May I kindly ask you whether I can declare my income in 7/8 years’ time please?

Heqq, since I came to know that you permitted other ‘poor’ kids from declaring their small (minor) income 7 years later, I though maybe you could also give me this opportunity.

I await your kind reply before the general elections.

I am sure that you will treat everyone the same. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, since ic-Cittadini are all the same.

Thanks

I’d like to describe an incident that happened in the early 70’s. As far as I know it never made the papers.
I lived in B’Kara. Across the road from us there was a family with four children. One evening the parents left the two youngest boys alone at home. At the time they must have been aged 8 and 10. The boys began to fill balloons with water and try to see which one of them would manage to hit the Vote No.1 poster of a Labour MP someone had stuck on the wall opposite their balcony. I guess some Labour supporter must have seen them and phoned the Party club. The next thing we know was that a truck laden with crates and crates of empty glass bottles and angry men drew up outside their house. They smashed every single window, broke down the front door, raced inside to get hold of them… meanwhile the boys, scared out of their wits, rushed upstairs on to the roof and began to leap over the dividing walls until a kind neighbour opened his roof door, which, thank God, was made of iron, and let them in.
Why am I saying this now? Because the MP in whose name this was perpetrated, whose honour was put at such such stake by two children and a few water balloons is an MP still and will become a Minister if the Labour Party win the next elections.
We’ve had a peaceful run under the Nationalist Government too long. The new voters have no idea just how bad things can become when the MLP are in government. True, we didn’t see such outrageous violence during those 22 months under Sant, but he is seriously ill now, and hiding behind him are the same monsters we had back then. God help us all.
