					<description><![CDATA[Hi All,

I found the nerve-centre of The Poodle/Chicken campaign for Lider;

A logo...

A campaign song called &#039;A Fridge Full of Dreams&#039; (check it out in links below).

And the &#039;Ghandi Holma&#039; thingy is the 15 point plan, folks.

OK....fair enough , so what&#039;s the pudding&#039;s taste like? (to paraphrase Amanda Mallia).

This is a genuine question, not trying to score any political points. Why is he being considered as a Labour sympathiser?

Anything (that is not related to the JPO evolving story) would be nice to know.

Thanks for your patience :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Daphne

Just a question, which in fact, might (or not) help you prove a point:

Why are you so sure Mr George Micallef is a Labour sypathiser. My impression was that he was apolitical and worked with all administrations equally.

Again, just for clarity, since I have no reason to defend him or demonise him, can I just point out that he spent 20 months working as consultant under Karmenu Vella, but many years under the PN Administration, including as personal consultant to Francis Zammit Dimech (to be fair I don&#039;t know what of all this is true, just what I read somewhere)

So to wrap up: I thought he was apolitical, you claim he is a Labour sympathiser.

Any info would be appreciated as I am rather curious about this. Thanks :)

[Moderator - Guzeppi, I&#039;m sorry that your comments take so long to appear. I have no idea why they keep turning up in spam, but I&#039;m trying to find out how to fix it so that they don&#039;t.]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Matt,

You are referring to Muscat as Labour’s New Leader? Because I heard that the election is still to come? Dr. Alfred Sant was MLP President 20 years ago as his other main players, Joe Mizzi, Joe Debono Grech, Charles Mangion In-Nutar, Karmenu Vella, George Vella, Marie Louise Colerio Preca and others. Surely we have to new leads, very bright people in likes of pepsodent smile (as written on it torca by Dr. Toni Abela) Jason Micallef, The Cuschieri brothers, and so on. I was sure that with this new labour people would vote NO labour !!. As regards corruption may I remind you that PN is the only party in Malta that prints its audit accounts as requested by law; the MLP has only one think transparent, his accounts which never made way to the MFSA (I hope they pay fines like anyone else) isn’t that corruption? You are probably not aware that Labour constructed there new glass house under Sant’s leadership! Getting the Laburisti in Dubai was the Labour good feeling to us others? And what about that villa built illegally by the Gozo labour MP. corruption stands, when to get a TV set you had to pay some canvazzer bazzuzlu…

To say Labour under Sant wasn’t that bad I totally disagree !, in a mere 20 months he destroyed Malta’s revenue system (CET /VAT) Tbazwira, he frozen our future in Europe Tbazwira ohra he introduced 33 new taxes targeting people mostly in need, Water and Electricity bills exploded in a drastic way and the bad certificate of tbaswir was given to Sant firstly by his own colleagues who left him and then the rest of us Maltese by not re-electing his party. I remember him calling Guido de Marco Mignun u gidieb when he (GDM) used to say that Malta will get 100 million if it was full member of the EU, to be hones GDM wasn’t all that right cause Malta got 850 Million thanks to his vision for which I thank him.

The PN in government wasn’t afraid to liberalize telecommunication and didn’t keep PBS with its emblem full day, opened MEPA (which I agree needs to be restructured but it surely decreased fouls) Ombudsman and so much more

I think Labour have a lot to clean and to learn before we can trust them again in government and for my friends curiosity I am still 34 years.]]></description>
