@David Buttigieg
I would have to flood Daphne&#039;s blog to explain what I mean. In short by doing what he says. He says employment is his main priority and then uses such tactics to either dishearten you from seeking/jobs help from ETC (sending you from hal far to valletta to tax office eccetera-just imagine 6 months running around like an idiot becuase the employer did not pay his part of NI) or by sending 6 vacancies of low quailty underpaid jobs a day, which if you don&#039;t apply to a single one of them, you are remmoved from registry and lose the few miserable euros about 100 a month which you are supposedly entitled to. I explained all of this to ETC and they understood my point and hopefully there will be results. You don&#039;t just type clerk, print all and send all (biex tehles bil-malti) Msomma that&#039;s just employment. Then there&#039;s healtcare. Another issue which does not affect me personally but still I feel it is unfair if after a lifetime working and contributing to the economy you are made to pay for healthcare. I hope at least only those who can afford to pay will be forced to pay if it comes in force.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - This correspondence is now closed. It&#039;s getting very tiresome.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

To be fair with ETC I would like to add that I&#039;ve been contacted by them since yesterday. It seems your blog is the best channel for someone to be heard.

					<description><![CDATA[I am going to make sure I will never forget all the arrogance, corruption and betrayals come election time. Anybody is better than what we are getting. Dr Franco Debono is not childish. Daphne, with all respect to you you do not know how we in the south are being treated when it comes to the environment.

Mintoff won nearly 4oo million Malta Lira for a chimney in front of his residence. What will the people of B&#039;bugia get when they get cranes into their bedrooms and roofs?

Come to Pretty AWFUL Bay and see a block towering over all the others but then the owner is the other government in Malta. I voted EU thinking these &#039;hnizrijiet &#039; will stop. Whither Malta? Thank you, back-benchers for speaking out. You are down with the people not drunk with power.]]></description>

Some businesses are run without employees. It&#039;s called outsourcing. So who&#039;s wrong?]]></description>
