[Daphne – Thanks for the advice. I’ll take you up on it one day.]

Well said indeed – now how about a word or two about the rising unemployment rate in our country?

[Daphne – Please explain to me how you have equated the two.]

I’ll repeat what I said, as it appears you have missed the point entirely. Why not adhere to a principle instead? The practice is, after all, a magistrate’s stock-in-trade.

My comment refers to magistrates adhering to principle rather than justifying low standards because ‘everyone else is doing it’.

You seem to be of the view that everything should carry on as it is, as any attempt to criticise particular people is dubious. Now, before you leap to your own defence, ask yourself why you do not spearhead that ‘crusade’ yourself.

Nadur was shyte. Not a single Jesus costume in sight.

Debono says; “the love of beauty and a capacity to appreciate something for its own sake distinguishes the human species from animals…….. Sadly, some humans are less human than others and still put profit above all else.”

“SOME HUMANS ARE LESS HUMAN THAN OTHERS”.

It is this kind of attitude which makes FAA people believe that they can attack anyone who expresses an opinion different from their own? Anyone who holds an opinion different from theirs is considered LESS HUMAN. This attitude also gives them the right, they believe, to distort facts as suits them best as FAA have done on countless occasions.

No, my point being that if this wrong, it is wrong for everyone in public office, and if one starts this sort of crusade it should be conducted against everyone, and not just a selected few.

Otherwise it will be perceived as a focused attack against particular individuals driven by a personal or political agenda, and not as a campaign in favour of the “principle”. We either bare it all or not at all.

Of course the scenario would be changed! ISB is free to represent whomsoever he wants to (in a nothing-to-do-with MEPA-case) once his contract is up. What sort of guff is this?
