Hello Daphne,
May I suggest to you to enter MEPA website and through the map-server search Wied il-Ghasel area limits of Mosta. Application no: 05109/00
http://mapserver.mepa.org.mt/malta_geoinfo/SQLresult.htm

Here you will find interesting information about Dr Anglu Farrugia’s father (George) who fooled MEPA into giving him recognition for a blatant development outside development area in Wied il-Ghasel.

I also know that the land where this abusive intrustion into Wied il-Ghasel is Governmental property taken over in the good old Socialist era. Where is ALfred Sant to cry foul?!

Have you noticed that on Monday, whilst the BA was objecting to Dr. JPO being present during the press conference because he was a candidate for the PN, there was another person who WAS (and IS) a candidate? The guy representing Azzjoni Nazzjonali (whose name I can’t recall) is a candidate for AN. Yet, nobody objected to him being present on the basis of his being a candidate.

The BA should hang its head in shame. What will it do when Sant becomes Prime Minister? If it yields to him now that Sant is Leader of the Opposition, will it yield to him as PM and object to certain people ever being present to his press conferences?

Indeed, a trip down memory lane should jog the memory of those people who have not collected their votes or who are voting for AD, AN or Labour and who in 1987 voted Nationalists for democracy and freedom.

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Democracy is at stake – not just the economy, our education system and all the goodies we so myopically take for granted. Democracy is threatened.

I just wonder if the Mangion/Vella flats were rented out to the Freeport- still a government entity at the time – through the services of an established Estate Agency or through the Hbieb tal- Hbieb Network

My dearest Victor,

Did you ask about the person involved in the Freeport scandal?

I think you had all the time to ask by now.

I’m still awaiting your reply.

Thank you

I wonder how much low can politics in Malta dive!

Actually I’m amazed by the mediocrity of this ‘dirty’ campaign which is currently ruling.

I cannot understand how Dr Alfred Sant yesterday (on the PBS press conference) repeated yet again the claim of corruption from the PN side on the Freeport scandal, when we just heard that the culprit do not hail from the ‘other’ side but from his own ‘kitchen’!

Is it possible that no one cared to inform Dr Alfred Sant to shut up about this MLP frame up?

Or was it just another mud slinging exercise, independently of its veracity?

However in this case, it is TRUE ALL RIGHT! … With a slight difference though. The culprit who was involved in the Freeport scandal is actually one who sings the song of the Lions – ‘Viva l-Lejber, Viva l-Lebjer, HEJ, HEJ’.

HEJ INDEED ;)

Well, they say that politics is a dirty game, so it comes as no surprise that mudslinging is one of the levels in the game. If only politicians had to learn that:
1. L-ispizjar milli jkollu jaghtik (so, one can only give others what one has); and
2. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Enough said.

Somewhat unrelated, but we just set up a new YouTube channel to show the Campus Debate 2008 in full, unedited and raw, to show what really happened during the most talked about event of this electoral campaign. Check out the videos at:
