					<description><![CDATA[&#039;If Labour’s magnificent leaders and its sorry army of out-of-touch consultants like Godfrey Grima think that this billboard will fuel Franco Debono’s self-aggrandisement and narcissism, encouraging him to cause more trouble for the prime minister and perhaps even bring down the government, they are wrong.&#039;

This didn&#039;t work out, did it? Franco is right in what he&#039;s doing today, but he&#039;s totally going about it the wrong way.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/12/bad-move-labour/#comment-125409&quot;&gt;Hot Mama&lt;/a&gt;.

When you wrote, phonetically, the words Anglu utters in public, I sometimes thought you were exaggerating. 

Today I happened to listen to one of his (written) speeches and I concluded that someone writes them for him, because he confused a lot of words and had to correct his speech each time.

Or, “chi non capisce la propia scrittura è un asino di natura&quot;

Lately I heard minister Dolores Cristina delivering a ten-minute apolitical speech, off the cuff and without notes to hand.]]></description>

My mistake: the one near Mater Die Hospital is still there.

There is another billboard further up the road, which  I mistook for Franco’s PL/PN billboard.

I really pity Franco:  he&#039;s being used, abused and ridiculed  all over the island with that PL poster. Probably he will learn from his mistakes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let us for a moment consider Franco as an excitable young MP, willing to put himself on the line in the name of what he considers a just cause:

This billboard doesn&#039;t say much about Labour&#039;s take on politics does it? More like an admission that the PN provides constructive opposition itself. 

I&#039;m pretty sure he&#039;s not at all pleased with their cynicism, and given that a full size billboard isn&#039;t some individual&#039;s message on Facebook, he can&#039;t ignore Labour&#039;s collective attitude anymore.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Driving into work yesterday morning, I thought, hmm PN have started their electoral campaign and they are showing all and sundry that, despite some differences of opinion, they are still one team.  I thought it was quite clever really.

					<description><![CDATA[I would go slow on thinking that Franco Debono is not seeking the attention of his Labour peers. 

Sitting in Parliament&#039;s strangers&#039; gallery, I&#039;ve often seen Jose, Inspector Tuks Gadget and a horde of other Labour MPs crossing the floor to engage in lengthy &quot;cross-party&quot; discussions with him over the past two years. 

I do not think that his efforts are uncoordinated with those of the LP.]]></description>
