The socialist regime, Mintoff and KMB, brought total destruction on Malta during the atrocious 70s and 80s. And yet? In 1987 the PN just managed to win the general election by some 4000 votes. And three years ago, in spite of the prosperity generated by successive PN administrations, the PN only managed to scrape true. And today even though everyone knows that it was Joseph Muscat who was responsible for those youngsters who havbe lost their right to vote…we still have labour activists trying to put the blame on the PM.

So why weren’t there any resignations this time round?!

Not that you are bothered, Daphne, but actually it is the building currently occupying the site which is ugly and excessively imposing. What is being proposed to replace it will be more attractive and will better integrate with the site. It will occupy the same site and include landscaping .

People like Reporter portray what is being proposed as an environmental disaster when in fact it will grealty improve the aesthetics of the area.

I sometimes wonder what the agenda of some so-called environmentalists is. Who is really pulling the strings?

Not at all.

Don’t get too excited. Not too long ago, the entire Commission resigned en masse because of some financial scandal.

@U jien naf

What you have here is a government taking up arms against its own people (and coercing some of its own people to do its dirty job against their will) and people taking up arms in their own defence.

That is not quite the same thing, is it?

As to whether there is any concern for the wounded on Gaddafi’s side, you’re overlooking about the unsung heroes in clinics and hospitals working under the most horrendous conditions and sometimes coming under fire themselves.

Well said.

I realise that life must go on and all that but it does seem a little trivial to focus on the “assault on Ramla” when we are aware of the assault on Misrata and other Libyan towns.

@Ms DCG; Yep.You’re right. She was speaking for the “gallarija “unfortunately. :(
