					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Oh my God, so now the EIA consultants have to be approved by none other than la creme de la creme Marie Benoit for them to be credible&quot;

Or as Del Boy Trotter would say &quot; la creme de la menthe&quot; :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s amusing how Mrs Benoit who claims to have travelled all round the globe, met and mingled with all sorts, has remained so restricted in her mindset.

Incidentally, I love these new elfin buzzwords, &quot;palzzo&quot;, &quot;palazzos&quot; and &quot;palazzi&quot;. As if they know what they&#039;re talking about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Because presumably Marie got her job at The Malta Independent on merit, right?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Bingo. Even she isn&#039;t fool enough to think so. I don&#039;t think she&#039;s been retained for eight years past official retirement age because of merit, either, but let&#039;s not go into that or I might say something I shouldn&#039;t. If I were in her position, I would sit tight, be quiet and be good. But it takes a certain degree of reprehensible arrogance to throw your weight around when you&#039;re in that position. When I worked for my father&#039;s business, he made a point of telling me that I had to be a model employee and God forbid I should ever be thought by others to be taking advantage of my position. Clearly, others don&#039;t see things the same way, and they interpret job security as a licence to do the sort of things that would have got others sacked a long, long time ago - and, in fact, &lt;em&gt;did &lt;/em&gt;get others sacked.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
