Mountaineering, not a sport, when it needs such athletic skills and stamina? Subbuteo is only a simulation of a sport.  Flicking figurines around on a table hardly counts as &#039;sport&#039;.  Or perhaps I missed the sarcasm?]]></description>

Mountaineering is not a sport. Subutteo is, at least, a competitive event. However, &quot;Maltese bladibla of the year&quot; awards are a big flipping joke, whatever the heading. How about a posthumous award to the suicide victims of 2010?]]></description>

Exactly.  Successive Labour and Nationalist governments have made &quot;Paci fil-Mediterran&quot; a central theme in Malta&#039;s foreign policy on the basis that if there is trouble anywhere in the region, this affects the entire basin.  Now here comes along Joseph Muscat proposing that our economy can prosper with trouble in our region.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And here is the apology:

A party spokesperson said “we had a good laugh and won’t accuse the authors of lacking ‘savior faire’.”

He added that however “the issue merits not just the original touch of humour by a commentator, but serious consideration and a well thought campaign which would attract tourists to Malta instead of other destinations which are in turmoil.”

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;It is unbelievable and shameful how the leader of a party that aspires to be in government can be so cynical and, in the face of events that are changing the history of the world, can only think of exploiting the suffering and misery of our North African neighbours. Is this the political vision of the so called progressive in the Labour Party?” - statement by Arnold Cassola, AD]]></description>
