How come Fr Abela, the Church’s Chief Censor was censored abruptly and dismissed immediately after his statement in court whilst Fr.Mark Montebello and Fr.Colin Apap can say what they like where they like about any tenet of the Catholic faith and nobody even replies to their wayward teaching?

[Daphne – They don’t sit on any church commissions, and so can’t be sacked from any.]

@ Adrian Borg: do you really think that the speed cameras and warden system are fair in Malta? Do you think it’s fair to get booked when you never committed a traffic infringement? Is it fair that in a local tribunal you are considered guilty unless you prove your innocence?

In my country should employers employ unqualified non-Europeans and pay them peanuts while qualified Maltese nationals remain jobless?

At long last the government has started to move about some of these hot issues. Do we make major projects to employ foreigners like they are trying to do at the Freeport?

In reply to Samuel Scicluna. Attenta ... Jerry Springer and Xarabank are very very popular. [Daphne - Yes. So is the Labour Party, apparently.]

@ Leonard
Not only bad taste, you’re even cheap. Looks like you’re into borrowing suits. I’ll let you have one of my worse ones, with my complements.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

Daphne, I cannot be bothered about how you should cite other blogs or otherwise, but I can’t see the good that can come of letting this sort of comment through – ad hominem attacks on Jacques and his friends (whose number includes myself and several of my own friends) cannot be justified by any stretch of the meaning of ‘public interest’. Now I’m sure that our lives will go on quite happily, but is it necessary to allow your site to be littered with this sort of thing? I can understand that you might reason that Mr Baxxter here is simply exposing himself to ridicule, but, even if that were relevant, it seems that he hides behind a pseudonym so that isn’t quite true.

[Daphne – In your case, I would agree with you. In Jacques’ case, I’m afraid not. Also, if he can dish it out, he should be able to take it. You, however, have never been rude to anyone, at least as far as I can make out.]

In reply to Mandy Mallia. I'm actually surprised at the relative brevity of this particular piece. Makes a difference from the 2.5 tumoli of solid newsprint Jacques writes weekly for The Independent. [Daphne - It's brief because somebody else wrote it as a guest post for his blog.]

In reply to Jon. Good. No need to borrow the suit.

Rizultati rizultati rizultati!!!! Mela il PL veru ghamel xi hag tajba biex kiseb ir-rizultati jew vici versa il-Gvern ghamel xi haga hazina biex tilef. Jew ma tilef hadd. Jien nahseb ma rebah hadd. Nahseb li tlift jien fil-verita….nahseb…nahseb….nahseb li ser ikun hemm text skur taht l-entry tieghi bil-one liner ta Galizia. Nittawwal u nittama.

In reply to Malcolm. Which piece? Sant's?
