Did you mean this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7-xOsWuRys

I don&#039;t know if you remember a TV programme called Big Blue Marble. It regularly included a short sketch called &#039;if children ruled the world&#039; that featured a child sitting on an important looking chair making wild pronouncements on how the world was to do his or her bidding.

The feature stopped there. The audience was never told how those things were to be achieved and the audience never wondered why and so failed to ask: when, how, by what means and what do we have to give up to get there?]]></description>

Maybe the only way that traditionally pro-PN people will come to their senses and not abstain from voting is by realising that by staying home, they are letting this lot decide for them instead:

And make a bet that they&#039;ll head towards Sliema, as they always do.

Let&#039;s hope that this time round, we won&#039;t have men pissing off trucks or smashing shop windows with batons, as was pretty common in the 1980s.]]></description>

I will have to look up the L-Orizzont article at the National Library. Fortunately they cannot remove a printed article as they did with their YouTube clips.

Joseph Muscat has always showed signs of megalomania. Remember his &quot;message to the nation&quot; a few months after he became leader of the PL? Then there was that &#039;manifestation&#039; when he declared &quot;I have decided to hold a protest&quot;. He boasted about causing an earthquake and now wants to take Malta by storm. The only other Maltese politician who talks like that is Norman Lowell.

Muscat is already insufferable as Leader of the Opposition, God help us if he becomes Prime Minister.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s not be complacent and bury our heads in the sand. Joseph Muscat might well be Prime Minister in four years&#039; time.

It&#039;s all very well for the PM to say that he will not shy away from measures needed for the country&#039;s well-being, unpopular as they might be.  It is not these tough measures which antagonise the electorate, but the attitudes and methods adopted in implementing the measures.

Unless this problem is addressed over the next four years, it will be useless for Dr Gonzi to come at election time and plead to the electorate.  Some voters just vote instinctively and not with their brains.]]></description>
