					<description><![CDATA[Jo Said, you are a retired nutcase, to put it bluntly.

I was one of the thousands (probably) who received your letter directed to the people at home, stating how much your ex-friend Gonzi has become arrogant and that the proof of cases of corruption that you had was turned down by him.  In a nutshell, I extracted an appeal to either abstain or vote Labour, from this letter.

For the record, Joe Saliba has decided to resign on his own accord.  I don&#039;t think Gonzi would have liked to get rid of him by any means - he has been a critical figure for the PN over the past 9 years and would have been welcomed to stay on in his post, believe me.

Secondly, I really would like to know what you&#039;re implying by &#039;the majority has dumped you just like it dumped Mintoff in the eighties&#039;.  If you&#039;re referred to the fact that the PN didn&#039;t win by an absolute majority, then you&#039;re right, of course.  However, this does not mean that the PN didn&#039;t have the majority of votes!  Thank God for the Constitutional amendments of 1996... if they weren&#039;t there, we would have had the same situation like 1981, i.e. MLP governing with more seats but less votes.  While you were fighting for democracy back then and I wasn&#039;t even born, I might as well just remind you that that was possibly the most undemocratic thing that happened in Malta, ever.

This is democracy, Jo, and it is democracy because the people - albeit by a margin of 1,580 votes - voted in the PN.  For the first time in history, a party with the majority of votes - be it a relative or absolute majority - is governing the country.  And there&#039;s nothing you can do about it.

As you said in your letter Jo, you lived abroad for a number of years.  If you detest the current administration so much, why don&#039;t you go back to England?  Alternatively, give me a ring and I&#039;ll be more than willing to book you a bed at Tal-Frankuni.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My dear Joe... or is it Jo?

Insomma what&#039;s the difference? They&#039;re both referring to the same old guy, who spent his last days roaming around from one political party to another....  ;)   Maybe it&#039;s because he&#039;s an important person and want to be different from the rest of us plebei!

back to my question...  What happened at the English airport please?  can you please tell us exactly your side of the story?  Why did the BBC, CNN and Police commissioner ignore you TOTALLY?  An intelligent person like you should have been given all the attention you deserve.

Can you also please give us more details about the &#039;information&#039; you have on the scandals?  Whay did the police state that you have NO proof at all?

You are a BIG man,, intelligent chairman,, an idol to Malta. We should all get on our knees in front of you.....  he he he.  I&#039;m sure that with your chairmanhood of the Tourism Authority, the latest figures would have tripled, or more. X&#039;cuc huma tal-MTA kumparati mal-intelligenza formidabbli tieghek.

We are so proud to read your posts again. We thought you ran away... Malta ghandha bzonnok! ;)

Please do us a big favour.... Resign yourself]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tony Pace - I know exactly what you mean.  (See my comment on Daphne&#039;s Sunday, 16.03.08 blog, which I&#039;ve copied below_

Amanda Mallia on Mar 16, 2008

Francis V. - I think that his comment to her was the straw that broke the camel’s back, seeing that so many people have been “thinking” about her on Daphne’s blog! (And despite the fact that she hasn’t commented on it - under her real name, at least, that is - rest assured that she probably has been following it, judging by the verbal vomit she wrote in her various articles today … Miaow!
