					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m unsure why people are so astonished at the MLP&#039;s reaction to the EP election results.  Surely no one should expect anything less from a bunch of half-wits, incapable of understanding just how meaningless this vote is, or the irony of the fact that they would be stuck at home watching another episode of Nies Bhalna (instead of blaring their car horns) had they got their way six years ago.

Most people in Europe don&#039;t give two hoots about the EU parliamentary elections - and rightly so, in my opinion.  The fact that a significant proportion of PN supporters share this view isn&#039;t worrying, it&#039;s just evidence of good sense.  So let us not begrudge these monkeys the pleasure of their Sunday dawra and their flag-waving.  After all, bocci and the banter down at the kazin does become quite tiresome after 20 years.]]></description>

The only reason Labour are appealing for people not to carcade is probably so that they can say they have nothing to do with any incidents which may arise, such as the one of yesterday in Zejtun.

Oh, and I also loved the bit on the One News banners that urged the PL supporters &quot;not to give in to any provocation&quot;.]]></description>
