					<description><![CDATA[Politicians have a present and a future.

However, if they happen to have been active in politics since the pliocene period, they also have a past.

If Spiteri considers reviving memories to be tantamount to personal attacks, then he cannot be thinking very highly of those same memories.

Lino Spiteri tries very hard to airbrush the PL&#039;s past which, incidentally, includes a good chunk of his own.

He should keep in mind, though, that we dinosaurs are not all amnesic.

For fairness&#039; sake, most of our corned beef came from the land of corned beef, that is, Argentina - albeit never top grade. We did import half-bled beef from Romania.

The bulk-buying system and quota systems were among the most economically damaging and disruptive policies the Labour government came up with.]]></description>
