I&#039;m going to have to attribute that to a mistranslation by the journalist; &quot;direzzjoni politika&quot;, in the above context, should have been translated as &quot;policy direction&quot; and not &quot;political direction&quot;

If that is not the case, then Dr Debono needs to brush up his history.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It beggars belief that so many people seem to have so much time for Franco Debono.

He is now passe&#039;.

Appeasement has not worked in his regard for reasons which should not be delved into.  He is still entitled to his privacy where health matters are concerned.

The sooner the government dissolves parliament the better for the government, the PN and the country.

The minute parliament is dissolved, the PN is then expected to give Debono the Order of the Boot in recognition of his  deranged services to the party.

He should also be awarded the Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish medal by the Kunsill Generali.

This is the truth of the matter.]]></description>

Dr Debono should ask himself whether it is fun and worthwhile   considering himself a lofty intellectual when his actions are so easily predictable and transparent  anyway ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s an intellectual joke which Franco might enjoy.



Two  weevils went to St Aloysius college. One  took off to Brussels and soon became the leader of a major political party and eventually a prime minister. The other weevil stayed in his  tiny backward village and in spite of his ego and pushy mum never ever amounted to much  --and naturally ended up being known to posterity as  the lesser of two weevils.]]></description>
