					<description><![CDATA[@ Kenneth Cassar: “Another idiotic comment in The Times. I won’t bother to attempt a reply there, of course. Not until The Times raises its amateurish and agenda-ridden “moderator” service.”

So this is where you were all along Kenneth - spitting your venom at me behind my back!

How devious can one get?

@ Frank Portelli: You really shoot from the hip. How is it that you know that Dr Andre’ Camilleri was not safeguarding the investors’ interests? Which investors should MFSA defend , BOV shareholders or the property fund investors?

The BOV property fund crashed before the No to divorce Movement was formed.
The tangible remedial action on this property fund started at the end of last week, because BOV knows that MFSA will take action by the end of June. Today The Sunday Times features an interview with Joe Banister and there is an article on Finco Treasury Management and its managing director Paul Bonello.]]></description>

as proposed there will be no difference between separation and divorce, one will automatically lead to another..
Regarding the abused spouse, like I said, the abused spouse should have the choice to choose for divorce, but the abuser should not have this same right. If the referendum question was a simple &quot;Divorce - yes or no&quot;, the result would have been an overwhelming YES.

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - It appears that the result IS an overwhelming Yes.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Excellent article. It&#039;s not up to a political party, the church or an individual person to decide why someone else should divorce or not. If one is against divorce, don&#039;t divorce.

In fact I think a referendum should not have been called because divorce only affects those people who want to divorce. And those who don&#039;t want to divorce, quite frankly, should butt out.]]></description>

You are entitled to your opinion and it is not for me to answer for Dr. Andre Camilleri.

My argument  is that you don’t judge one’s integrity and professionalism on the number of commitments one undertakes.

You run a hospital and you have other commitments. I do not know the first thing about the medical profession or about the management of a hospital. I might think that it takes up all of your time but that doesn’t give me  the right to judge your professionalism.

If your opinion can be backed by facts, it is for Dr. Camilleri to explain.]]></description>
