In reply to davidg.

Now Manuel Delia has been given a spanking because he was not officially approved as a candidate by the PN executive!

Should Schiavone have a ‘go ahead’ by the party to write articles on the Times like today’s?

For how long will this ‘party executive’ appease this arrogant lawyer who does not know the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’?

In reply to Maryanne (2?).

Yes,

the sound made by the automatic doors and the hum of airconditioners is causing great distress.

Jahasra. Bring back the Perkins, running on kerosene….

Saturday’s l-Orizzont gives prominence to the protest gathering of some 200-odd peoplecomplaining that the ‘south’ had been forsaken by buses and there is practically no longer a public transport service.

This protest featured also on Xarabank as Debono strove to make out he was championing this cause (with a special mention for Hal Ghaxaq).

In the same issue of the newspaper there is coverage of a protest by the Labour council of Paola (through which all buses from the traditional ‘South’ pass) because of the inconvenience to residents caused by the ‘1000 buses’ (I double checked) that pass daily through Paola square.

Will they please decide?

Franco Debono is totally wrong in saying that today’s state broadcasting is worse than in the 80s . I talked to elderly Nationalists who felt very hurt by this saying.

[Daphne – Elderly as in, say….47?]

In reply to Kathryn. It is true what you wrote Kathryn. Debono KNEW what was going to happen last Friday, that the Speaker will cast his vote against the PL's motion. It was sheer waste of valuable time. He just wanted to be in the limelight for a while, just like JPO.

In reply to J Schembri.

Yet candidates have not yet been properly selected yet.

I hope that the PN chooses its candidates ‘properly’. Some backbenchers make me sick.

Daphne, I agree 100 percent with your column in yesterday’s Independent. I have met Debono – he is arrogant and full of himself. He needs to be on the front page and in the headlines like the rest of us need water.

I hope he is sidelined and soon, before any more damage can be done.
