					<description><![CDATA[The usual repetitive rant: this sort of thing reminds us of how jealous and self-destructive people can be. It&#039;s incredible. 

I wouldn&#039;t leave Sliema for fear of having somebody like Beppe as my neighbour.  Nispera qabbadtek il-hruq Beppe, ha tibqa fejn int, u taghmlilna pjacir u ma tersaqx l hawn. 

 Iehor ghal go l-iskip please.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Actually, Marcus, nowadays you&#039;re more liikely to have somebody like Beppe as your neighbour in Sliema.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

That&#039;s the thing with these scum. They&#039;re happy to pose alongside real soldiers and NATO hardware, but they&#039;ll jump up with shrieks of condemnation as soon as that hardware is put to use. Because war is evil. Because Jesus and Mintoff both said so. 

In days of yore, anyone meeting a foreigner would brag about their country being the Mother of Arts, Arms and Laws. What is Malta? 

Arts = hamallagni totali

Arms = none

Laws = avukati puppaturi, and the real criminals invariably get away with it.]]></description>

Could it be that he was on a mission sponsored by Strategista of l-orizzont?
I am surprised he is mixing with NATO.

					<description><![CDATA[He&#039;s trying to do preppy I guess. But if one isn&#039;t filthy rich and living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, one ends up looking like an Italian chav instead, as you remarked. 

And also preppy people wear those kinds of clothes for golf or to watch a game of polo or for drinks at the yacht club, not to visit a  military base.]]></description>
