					<description><![CDATA[At every opportunity, Labour will present the true picture of what happened during those years.

Iddahhaknix, Joe Grima!  Forsi biz-zghazagh tidhak,  imma mhux bina li niftakru zaqqek tikber bil-minuti.

The true picture of those years: nisa tad-dar jipprotestaw fit-toroq bil-borom fuq rashom ghax ilhom zmien bla qatra ilma.

The true picture of those years: turisti jahslu snienhom bil-lager.

The true picture of those years: il-marmalja tidhol fid-dar ta&#039; Dr Fenech Adami u ssawwat lil martu u tqacctilha l-imsielet minn widnejha. Uliedu tterrorizzati.

The true picture of those years: isem Dr Fenech Adami ma jissemmix b&#039;ismu fuq ix-Xandir tal-Istat imma ssir referenza ghalih bhala l-Kap tal-Oppozizzjoni biss. Bhallikieku ma jezistix.

The true picture of those years: Black Monday u t-Times huggiega wahda.

The true picture of those years: il-kappella tal-Kurja mfarrka u Dr Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici ftit lihinn ma&#039; ta&#039; qattghani. It-tarzna - &#039;&#039;L-aristokrazija tal-haddiema&#039;&#039; - issabbat il-hadid fuq it-trakkijiet fi triqitha biex tfarrak u tkisser. L-incidenti f&#039;Tal-Barrani. Il-qtil politku brutali ta&#039; Raymond Caruana. Sparar fuq il-kazini tal-PN. George Bonello du Puis jaqla&#039; daqqa ta&#039; ponn u  jhalli sinna l-Parlament. Lorry Sant u Karmenu Vella fil-qorti mal-marmalja. Lorry Sant jaghmel ghall-istudenti ta&#039; Gan Frangisk Abela.

Id-differenza bejn is-size taz-zarbun ta&#039; Joe Grima qabel dahal il-parlament u s-size taz-zarbun ta&#039; Joe Grima wara li spicca mill-Parlament. The true picture of those years. Indeed.]]></description>

i don&#039;t think Maltatoday can &#039;sink&#039;, can you Daph?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - There&#039;s a limit to the amount of bankrolling investors can do to satisfy their own personal grudges. Maybe the few adverts which appear on Malta Today are very expensive, how do I know, but from where I&#039;m sitting, the sums don&#039;t work out.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Obviously not the ones he used to produce a child with Lynne Zahra while living fi stat ta&#039; cohabitazzjoni waqt li hu mizzewweg ma&#039; mara ohra.

Perhaps that&#039;s why Joe Grima is so cross at Gonzi: that damn cohabitation law is going to give that Lynn some rights and obligations (and vice versa).]]></description>

You&#039;re wrong Daphne

Joseph Muscat was not influenced by his nanna but by this great visionary. Here&#039;s a living wage proposal way back in 1992
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqBb6vKBQag&#038;feature=related

1:07 minutes into this interview, the butterfly philosopher had already unleashed his living wage proposal.

Moreover, he goes on to describe his electoral programme using &#039;vaguespeak&#039; promising all good things to everyone. Hmmmm somehow this ALSO reminds me of the boy from Burmurrod.

On a different note, Mr Sultana had garnered five votes in the previous elections. That&#039;s STILL more than Muscat&#039;s total number of votes in the 2008 general elections.

I feel like I&#039;m watching a poor sequel to an even more disastrous &quot;original&quot;:  Dr Zero too (2) - still dumb but not dumberer. Tagline (with apologies to Jaws 2): Just when you thought it was safe to trust Labour . . . . .]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, when this fat slimy man was &#039;friendly&#039; within the ranks of the PN because he was kicked out by Alfred Sant, I for one never trusted this guy because I knew him far too well when he was a minister and he beat up one of his employees.

So I reckoned that certain people cannot be trusted when they change camp. Same with d**khead Saviour who was Labour, then Green, then lackey of John Dalli when he tried to help him win the leadership race.

Dalli would have had a much better chance without bad-chip-on-his-shoulder, Saviour Balzan. What Saviour does not realise is that his partner, Roger de Giorgio, is pushing him into the ring for his malicious plans to pay back the PN.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, I noticed that. Saviour is the malicious and bitter front for Malta Today, who gets all the flak, while Roger goes out smiling to parties and acting the gent, when  his tongue is a whole lot nastier than Saviour&#039;s. L-aqwa li jidher sabih man-nies u Saviour jidher l-ikrah. And when Malta Today&#039;s ship sinks, Saviour will go down with it while Roger will float.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
