					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know why you cannot get it in your tick head that this whole charade you&#039;re putting on, on a daily basis (excuse me, some others refer to it as a ‘blog’), is causing rather more harm, than any good to P.N., which party is already at a very vulnerable &#038; unstable stage.

I am not going to comment on the various remarks written during the past days on Mintoff, personally I was never a fan of his politics or his tactics, however this hatred scheme you’re trying so hard to divulge, by using Mintoff death as your bait is the lowest form of spinelessness activity a person can do.

Yes, Mintoff did some very bad things, and he did some very good things as well (only stupid people would think or do not realise that never in time had existed a politician, who is loved by everyone or who is hated by everyone).

Many has referred to Mintoff’s period as a ‘regime’ (I would suppose they are referring to a totalitarian regime), but be careful as many people also refer to the P.N.’s rule in the past and recent time as a ‘regime’, just obviously not on this blog, you have to meet &#038; talk to people, who has suffered under the P.N. rule, especially the working class, yes ‘MEET &#038; TALK’ - something which P.N. hasn’t done in a long time.

(This being said neither Mintoff&#039;s period nor P.N.&#039;s periods, qualify as totalitarian regimes, but this word it being thrown out constantly, by people who do not even have a clue what it means).

Taht kull gvern dejjem kien hemm nies li ‘jpappuwa’ bhalek u hafna ‘bazuzli’ ohra u nies li bghatew, nassigurak li that il P.N. kien hemm hafna minnhom ukoll. You just need to hear both sides, unfortunately people like you who obviously are only open for a one sided dialogue, can never grasp what I ‘m saying.

And that’s the problem with your ‘blog’, you never try to make a constructive criticism on anything, you just deliver HATE, HATE &#038; more HATE, I just hope that in this day and age, people can really make their own conclusions, based not only on their political colours, but also on common sense. Your ‘blog’ has turned out into an on-line version of the ‘Jerry Springer Show’, most of the people just log-in to have a lough, and I say most, alas there will always be true followers, who cannot make their own conclusions, but hey, even degenerate hate organizations like the Ku Klux Klan had it’s followers one day, it used to be millions, but now it’s just a few thousands, and this is what will happen to you in a few years (don’t be so optimistic, you do not have millions of followers), you’re already running on very low numbers.

Personally I think you are one of the most disgusting persons I have ever seen, I do not know why P.N. has not yet taken a decision to disassociate completely from any of your activities, but then again who knows ? kif jghid il malti ‘min jaf x’hemm min that’.

I agree with the last comment by ‘elephant’, i.e. ‘it is God who will judge and not us very weak mortals’. When the time comes you will be judged like any other mortal icluding Mintoff.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh bugger off. I&#039;m bored of you all now. Nies tedjanti b&#039;mohh ta&#039; dundjan.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some silent thinking:  We have here a human being who has a soul. Whether we like it or not, in accordance  to our beliefs, that soul was created by God. 

We have reached the depths for not respecting this soul. 

Dom Mintoff might have been the worst of the worst but he had a soul and I humbly feel that we are really showing that we are very shallow in our beliefs. 

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - Yes, well, not everyone is Catholic, and rest assured that even Catholics did not respect the souls of their oppressors. Perhaps there are accounts of Italian Catholics standing around the strung-up Mussolini and saying &#039;But we should respect his soul&#039;, but I haven&#039;t read them. The only thing anyone felt compelled to do, as I recall, was pin together the hem of his mistress&#039;s skirt so that her underwear ceased to be displayed as it fell over her head.]
&lt;/strong&gt;
Apart from the farce that is going on, deep inside me I feel that as a Christian I should respect that sould that has just gone to meet its creator. 

For the bad (and if any good) he made during his lifetime, it is God who will judge and not us very weak mortals.  Do not judge lest you will be judged.  I say these words in an effort to put some fundamental principles in front of all those who up to now have ony shown hate.]]></description>

Oh ok, now I get why you don&#039;t go to mass,.. Cause youre scared that people will throw shit at you.. and that youre posessed by satan himself

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No, Unknown. It&#039;s because I didn&#039;t choose to become a Catholic and when I was old enough to decide for myself I decided I didn&#039;t particularly want to be one. Religion isn&#039;t about form to me, but about substance. I stopped going to mass on Sunday long before I started writing a newspaper column.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No, I don&#039;t say that, because I don&#039;t go to mass except on special occasions, let alone receive communion.

&quot;Dressed up of a lamb&quot;  = Liebes ta&#039; naghga.

Daphne, one phrase says it all.

I cannot understand why you bother to comment.

As far as I am concerned you do not have to.

But then it is your blog.]]></description>

Carlo you had nothing in th UK.

Who the hell are you to talk about what you had in the UK ?

Do not even dare mention the name of Churchill in this context.

Fuck Off !

Winston Churchill was the greatest statesman the human race has ever produced.

He was unique.

Never mind poor Diana.

Do not talk about Churchill, please, unless you insist on making a fool of yourself.

If so, please yourself.]]></description>
