					<description><![CDATA[I did not say that the 80s were not bad. My reason for not voting labour anymore was because of those years. Still the 60s in Malta were bad too.

That is why it is a pity that after those glorious days for Labour they did what they did in the 70s and 80s.

Also the wounds of the sixties are still there as there are also of the 70s and 80s. Hate though was sowed during Strickland times and to a lorger degree in the 60s.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s something I&#039;m not quite understanding.  Since he&#039;s the &#039;prattikament prim ministru&#039; can&#039;t he just legislate the &#039;new civil rights&#039;?  Why does he need to militate his thugs again?  

In any case, he has his job cut out for him  trying to re-educate the lot of them because these self-styled &#039;soldiers of steel&#039; are much more prone to trample on civil rights than safe-guard them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Apart from the ridiculous idea of having suldati ta&#039; l-azzar campaigning for IVF and Gay Rights, I think that the leader of the opposition is confusing issues purposely.

There is no need for IVF legislation to give couples the opportunity to have kids via this method.  Hundreds are born this way annually in Malta.  What he is talking about is legislation which would tackle the issues of embryo freezing or discarding of embryos, probably also about offering IVF as a free health service for all etc etc. 

About gay marriages it is important to note that in the whole world only 10 countries allow same-sex marriages and most european countries do not recognise such unions.]]></description>

If you were a little boy during the interdett era , then you  must have been quite grown up during the middle eighties.

Does KMB&#039;s classic phrase &#039; aristokrazija tal-haddiema&#039; and Tal-Barrani ring a bell?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ Silvio Farrugia.

&quot;Suldati tal-azzar is much more than a metaphor for brave persons.  

In the Malta political context it evokes dark memories to the violent thugs lauded to the skies as &quot;the aristocracy of the workers&#039; movement&quot; for such exploits as the wrecking of the Curia and sacred emblems inside, the family and home of the then leader of the opposition Dr Eddie Fenech Adami, the arson of the printing presses of the times with workers trapped inside, countless NP political clubs and culminating in the murder of an NP supporter having a quiet drink in his club.

Muscat&#039;s appeal for the recruitment of new generation  of &quot;soldiers of steel&quot;, following the ominous re-instatement of the architects of that violence,  should ring the alarm bells of every voter.]]></description>
