					<description><![CDATA[Ghaliex tghir daqshekk ghal Consuelo Herrera?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You&#039;d be surprised to know, &#039;Richard Curmi&#039;, that for 30 years it&#039;s actually been the other way round, hence her hatred for me and her resentment towards me. For 30 years, she has tracked from a distance not only the minutiae of my life and latterly, also the minutiae of my sons&#039; lives. It is like having an obsessed stalker. There is something seriously wrong there.

Magistrate Herrera&#039;s entire life for the last 12 years or so has been dedicated to the pointless pastime of trying to live in her middle years a &#039;fun&#039; youth which she never had, one in which she is attractive, sexy, popular, goes out with lots of boys, and throws parties to which &#039;all the cool people&#039; (ha) flock. It&#039;s because she never got to do all this at the right time of her life, though she was consumed by such desires. This much is very obvious to me and to all my/our contemporaries, but those who don&#039;t know the full picture can&#039;t see it. Her need to get her unfulfilled youthful desires out of her system in middle age has led her on the road to self-destruction - because you cannot sow in your late 30s and 40s, when you are a magistrate, the wild oats that you should have sown at 20.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Anthony Farrugia (2 February)

Yeah everyone knows who&#039;s wet behind the ears....if Muscat is still wet behind the ears then I bet Gonzi has a lake behind his ears because he can&#039;t even manage his own men let alone a whole country.I don&#039;t get it....it&#039;s like Nationalists don&#039;t live in the same country I live in.You never admit that your party is doing a lot of mistakes and is making the country suffer for his incompetence.What&#039;s wrong with admitting a mistake(or even more).Mistakes are done so that one can learn from them and not repeat them (hopefully).Well I do hope that the mentality on both sides changes completely such that one can work better for the country.By the way Daphne, your blog became like the PN official website can you please be more neutral in your articles and less offensive especially to Labour party?I don&#039;t like the way you present your articles. :/

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I don&#039;t present my articles to you, my dear. You&#039;re not a paying customer. If you don&#039;t like them, don&#039;t log on.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It appears that Musumeci has little chance of winning the casual election. Good news for him and the PN leadership - he should now keep a low profile and sort out his life. I would refer to a contribution by P Zahra on this blog ( Monday-105000) to understand precisely how a professional person should behave in public. Anyone who enters politics or public office without these attributes is an accident waiting to happen.]]></description>

Dear David, if by your age (assuming you really are NeMusu&#039;s age), you have not realised that a good majority of our beloved political and professional class are not in it for personal gain and social scaling, your brain really is beyond repair!

I come from a very humble family, and hold a very humble job, but I can assure you there were others at Uni in my year who:

1. were reading to become lawyers - and never opened a single book;
2. read law and became part of SDM (pulse did not exist yet) because it was cool (i.e. all the classy, good-looking girls were there) and it was a highway to a political career or if that failed, you&#039;d be &#039;friends&#039; with future politicians;
3.never attended a single bloody lecture - I doubt whether they actually sat for exams to be honest, yet I routinely find them face to face with me in high-flying government posts (e.g. heading govt. agencies, representing govt. agencies in the media, and generally just milking the system).

Oh! and most of these people are to be seen regularly on The Sunday Times magazines in those photos full of posers in parties for the &#039;in&#039; crowds,

I could go on, but prefer to keep my counsel.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rover, I&#039;m not some Mintoff fan, but I can see that he had a vision (even though I never agreed with most of it) and he showed leadership while he was in opposition. He was against the big hospital in Gozo (that would have meant less votes from Gozo), against the Siggiewi bridge and the Msida Bridge while he was in OPPOSITION.

Love him or hate him one knew beforehand about some of the measures he had up his sleeve. If you were an employer you knew that he was going to give equal pay for women.

At present the MLP, sorry the LP, has no identity. It wants to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Its leader in his heart of hearts wants divorce but backs off when he finds that he has not enough support.

Next Saturday he will be addressing a conference organised by the Cana Movement. Do you think that he will speak about his divorce motion in parliament or about the stretched definition of what makes a family? He speaks of being progressive while stating in the same breath that he’s moderate. I think that even Mintoff with this confused ideology would be coerced to vote PN.

This PL hotch-potch political ideology makes me recall the confused look of an air hostess&#039;s face when jokingly I asked for a glass of alcohol-free whiskey.]]></description>

I assure you that they will rue the day they bring this government down. All of these rebels will pay for their misdeeds. Uomo avvisato mezzo salvato. This is not democracy ... this is anarchy within our own party. We will not tolerate it. Even if we have to go to the opposition benches and give Joseph Muscat the crown without fighting for it. Unless Dr Gonzi wakes up and takes control of his own party, he may very soon find himself on the opposition benches.]]></description>
