@ Marco:

How is it prejudiced to comment on a person&#039;s behaviour after a well established fact?  

And how exactly is it unfair to judge criminal behaviour of elected representatives?  

And how - unless one has a double personality, which alone makes one unfit for political life - will one&#039;s attitude towards criminal behaviour not inpinge on their political duties?]]></description>

I remember people confusing D.Caruana Galizia with M.Micallef actually because of the physical appearance.  The long straight hair mainly.

					<description><![CDATA[I think you are prejudiced, especially in your description of Cyrus Engerer and the like. It is completely unfair to judge public figures in terms of their personal lives regardless of which party they might make or might have made a part of, unless it&#039;s very much intermixed with their political duties. 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Let&#039;s get one thing straight. I do not give a damn about Cyrus&#039;s personal life. He can shag or do whatever he likes and I am not at all interested. But I do have serious concerns about homophobia (and what he did to his ex boyfriend was a homophobic attack, intended to provoke disgust and worse among his colleagues) and equally deep concerns about people who are inclined towards that kind of premeditated and malicious revenge. I would think that those sorts of character traits would manifest themselves unpleasantly in political life sooner or later.]&lt;/strong&gt;

I think it&#039;s terribly unfair of you to judge people like that, and as for your reply to the comment which stated that the PL mix up Bahrija and Bidnija as your place of residence, I think it&#039;s incredibly unprofessional of you to say that you would never live in Bahrija because of what political party most residents adhere to. 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Professionalism does not come into it, Marco. No, I would not live in Bahrija, and one of the reasons (there are others) is that when you are in my position and under attack and surveillance all the time, the last thing you want to do is live among spies and the enemy. I like to know who my neighbours are. Most of us do, so don&#039;t act surprised.]&lt;/strong&gt;

You are a blogger, and you are entitled to your own political opinion as well as to the expression of it - but so is everyone else, and you have no right to judge them in such an unfair manner.

Regards, 
Marco]]></description>

So Daphne, you actually have a problem with all Laburisti not just the blinkered ones.... how egocentric from your end.

Kont nahsbek iktar matura fil-kummenti tieghek.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Laburisti are blinkered by definition, Ivan. How else would you explain their decisions?]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Looks like that your governments education resulted futile since they cant read what you write!
