Lou, probably she doesn’t like the way you run the show. Your only interest is a good audience for your programme. Your reaction towards Astrid is a violent one, calling people who don&#039;t want to appear on your show ‘chickens’ shows only how much you depend on these people.

The next time you &#039;invite&#039; someone to your programme the person will have the subtle threat of being called &#039;chicken&#039;  if the invitation is refused.

I clearly recall Peppi fuming when the archbishop refused to appear on Xarabank. Public persons are the lifeblood of your programmes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Finally the truth is coming out. For far too long, these people have been hailed as the only true defenders of the environment. Truth is that while it is probably true that they do appreciate the natural and cultural heritage, they are more in love with themselves. Like the audit officer, they are substituting themselves for the legal authorities and so weakening the system. This they know full well but still persist in doing it since it gets them their proverbial 15 minutes of fame.

Astrid, Lino, the audit officer - all of the same ilk: they play to their audience. Want proof? what about the footage of last Saturday&#039;s meeting at the Phoenicia. Says a lot!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Berthie: the truth is that when it comes to planning law, Musumeci is a brilliant mind. I was present in MEPA&#039;s boardroom on a couple of times and witnessed him deliberating - he is simply outstanding. However he should decide whether he continues to excel in this field or pursue a political career. One cannot do both.]]></description>

Mario Debono, you split me up with laughter because every time you speak you put your foot in it. Before you said and now repeat ‘load bearing arches’ when all they carry is an empty balcony.



Now you say that Astrid’s family ‘started the high-rise in Ghar il-Lembi street”so that it Astrid looks bad. You just come out looking like sleaze again because by now everyone knows that the man who did so was a great-uncle three generations away when Astrid was three! Kemm int buffu! The Independent had shown that it was not the first house to go down and be built into flats that street. And if you had any idea at all of what you’re talking about you would know that her flats are the lowest in the street!  Basta high rise!



The way you are so ready to invent untrue stories about people just shows how little credibility you have. Do you not realise that you are damaging your beloved party with these attacks on people because they are so untrue that they make others side with the people you attack.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hot off the press, well The Times blog. Astrid Vella has just declared that she will not accept to come on Bondiplus. So first she chickens out of facing Victor Scerri on Xarabank with the lame excuse that it was going to be political. Then she chickens out of facing Robert Musumeci on the same issue on the One TV programme Realta with the lamer excuse that she&#039;s in court with him. Now she is chickening out of any Bondiplus programme on any topic. Give Astrid Vella a megaphone and a crowd and she&#039;s in heaven. Give her a microphone and ask her a question and she runs like hell.]]></description>

Astrid vella was not victimised for striking in 1982. She went on strike, went back to work and handed in her resignation. And please do not try to read this comment as some sort of Pro-Mintoff stance. As pragmatic as ever she went on strike with an umbrella open against the rain. Hardly the stuff that principles are made of.]]></description>
