					<description><![CDATA[I may be naive but I have to say that I fear Joe Muscat even more than I feared Alfred Sant.

How can people stoop so low?

I remember Edgar Galea Curmi as a lecturer at University and I was always touched by his humanity - I do not recall his lectures but I do recall he used to lecture with love and humanity.

He is certainly a good man and I feel sad, and I am not being dramatic in any way, I feel sad when I realise  that amorality and power-hunger will  win the day in two years&#039; time.  Only amorality can lead a person to behave in such an abhorrent manner.

This twisting of kind  acts into daggers with which to stab the kind heart is (in my view) one of the lowest levels any person can stoop down to. This is basic human decency - being human requires that we do not act in this manner.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I hate to think what you are going to be writing closer to the election!
Muscat is going to win the next election with a landslide majority.
So please calm down and relax, avoid this stress, it is bad for your health Daphne.]]></description>

When we&#039;re living in times where the party in government is crumbling to pieces and someone dedicates most of her stories on her &#039;Running Notebook&#039; to accounts and canards about opposition members... well, I can&#039;t help but ask myself WHY!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - It&#039;s probably because I&#039;m fairly bright.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

George, they (including Cyrus Engerer) think it was Evarist Bartolo who said that the more things change the more they stay the same.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Now Muscat’s audience in Hal Ghaxaq are unlikely to be keen followers of any news other than that on Super One. They certainly do not read this blog (though you never know)”.

In the Ghaxaq MLP Club audience I think I spotted Dr Charlie Azzopardi, the family therapist whose is never without sunglasses on his head. I always had the impression that he is an outspoken Labour-leaning person, but I would be surprised if he goes again to listen to his leader.

I suppose he is another PL prospective candidate, another feather in the PL’s tattered and smelly hat.

He was roped in from the pro-divorce lobby by Muscat, I assume.]]></description>
