And YOUR GOVERNMENT has been in office for 25 years and has not found one such instance of corruption which happened in those years you mention! Or is it because PN important people were involved ??????

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Not my government, Mr Privitera, but the Maltese government, which is yours too. You are not in a position to talk about corruption. I never voted Labour, so I am.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

If Silvio Zammit might have been a canvasser or chief canvasser in the Sliema district, what has Dalli done wrong ? Not all candidates for election have canvassers ? it seems that Silvio Zammit might have thought that he had enough influence  on John Dalli that he could project himself as a lobbyist to the Swedish company. Still it seems that his lobbying got him nowhere, except in trouble !

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You just don&#039;t get it do you? But then what else might we expect of somebody who voted for the corrupt Labour governments of the 1970s and 1980s.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

what had you written about John Dalli when he had been asked to resign by Lawrence Gonzi ? Remember, he was then cleared because he had been the victim of a frame-up, remember ? So aren&#039;t you in too much of a hurry to condemn him ? Who knows, he might be found to have been set-up again. But your hate for John Dalli will not allow you to be cautious !

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Quite frankly, I think he hasn&#039;t been caught often enough.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Daphne: Quite obviously you - the well -read Daphne (!)- has never bothered to read the books I mentioned. Is it because you were scared to read about the sordid affairs that happen in the corridors of Brussels ?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I read only novels, Mr Privitera, and occasionally, I read history. Oh, and about food, of course.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[About four an a half years ago, I went to speak to Johnny Dalli. His private secretary Mr Victor Caruana fixed an appointment, at Mr Zammit`s kiosk. 

Needless to say, I thought that I did not understand  Mr Caruana, when he told me to be at the kiosk. 

But there he was, with diary in hand and Mr Dalli conferring with his constituents. At the time I thought it funny and awkward, but as they say, `time is a great healer and teacher`.]]></description>
