					<description><![CDATA[I love the title &quot;Messagg lin-Nazzjon&quot; and the signature at the end &quot;Insellmilkom u kuragg&quot;.

Viva is-Simpaticone taghna. What a big-headed clown.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No self-awareness, that&#039;s what it&#039;s called.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;&lt;em&gt;jomar Thursday, 30 October 1527hrs
I thought that the rendering of the National Anthem was strictly reserved for occasions of National importance when Heads of State are presiding. Not in Malta, you say?&quot;
&lt;/em&gt;
  Does anyone remember how in the immediate aftermath of the &quot;Partnerxipp Rebah&quot; debacle, on super1 TV they were announcing Dr Sant&#039;s address to the nation preceded by close-ups of the national emblem and a rendition (in true Renato fashion ) of l&#039;Innu Malti?

Quo Vadis the brand new MLP ethics board for Journalism?



&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, I remember that. It was ridiculous.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is totally unrelated to the thread so there is no need to publish it but thought you might wish to know :) Weren&#039;t we always told that it was our hero KMB that saved Gheddafi from the US bombardments in the 80s ... have a look at this:

Irrespective of the merits of informing Mintoff&#039;s friend about the bombardment, why do labour go into the hassles of lying ! :) :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I thought that the rendering of the National Anthem was strictly reserved for occasions of National importance when Heads of State are presiding. Not in Malta, you say?

Jowzef said: &quot;B’dieqa fl-ahhar jiem smajna kumpaniji li keccew il-haddiema waqt li ohrajn naqqsu l-granet tax-xoghol tal-haddiema taghhom&quot;. These companies did not lay off or reduce hours of work because of higher W&#038;E rates since these rates have not taken effect yet.

He then goes on to say that on Monday, the government ought to design the budget in favour of industry and family. Now that&#039;s telling the government something it probably hadn&#039;t thought of before!

As I wrote elsewhere, Joseph is not only incompetent - he is also dangerous.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - We had to listen to the national anthem every day after school assembly, which certainly was not an occasion of national importance.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
