Now that Dalli is having his claws painfully extracted, I hope that people who do have any proof against him will feel brave enough to come forward. 

I believe there are many people in Malta who have endured a petrified silence for many years, too afraid to stick their head above the parapet for fear of retribution. If any are reading this, courage, your time is now.]]></description>

Unfortunately it seems that most cannot distinguish between law and ethics, or politics and business.

Thus the confusion between illegal behaviour and unethical behaviour, management processes as opposed to judicial or political processes, etc.

This confusion is not surprising - after all, there are continuous demands that the prime minister &#039;shuts up&#039; a blogger, proving that even basic concepts such as &#039;free press&#039; and &#039;freedom of expression&#039; are still unfamiliar to many. I despair.

As regards to Dalli, he is smart enough to know the above, but unfortunately also unscrupulous enough to exploit the general ignorance thereon.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Too many people need professional help on this island.  We&#039;re swimming out of our depth.  

And people were scandalised when  our Prime Minister said that he did not have a large pool of talented people to choose from.  Joseph Muscat will not even be able to scoop up a drop of talent with his lot.  

When is our collective good sense going to wake up from its hibernation?  We send idiotic, clueless clowns like Joseph Cuschieri, and slimeballs like Dalli to Brussels and bring back home one of the few people (RCC) who does not make us blush.

Insane!]]></description>
