					<description><![CDATA[It seems that Franco Debono&#039;s idea of &quot;reconcilliation&quot; is that everyone needs to reconcile with him, the true &quot;dictator&quot; if there ever was one.

For the same reasons that reconcilliation is sometimes impossible between a married couple, divorce becomes necessary with the abuse and bullying from the other.  In such a case, only one responsible and integral party needs to initiate the divorce for the benefit of the &quot; greater whole&quot;, even as the other party may be insisting upon and demanding &quot;reconcilliation&quot; from the other.

Reconcilliation is only possible when, in humility and truth, one recognizes the injury and harm one has caused to the other(s), and one asks for mercy and forgiveness regarding the injury or destruction left by one&#039;s previous course of devastation.  

The devastation cannot be repaired, but only grieved; and the injuring party has to capitulate entirely to the terms of the injured - in Franco&#039;s case, not only with the PN but with the country as a whole.  

I don&#039;t think Malta (except for elements of the Opposition, who would at the risk of highlighting their own deficiencies) is willing to ever forgive Franco Debono, unless he would be capable of self-insight, beginning with his parliamentary resignation and a long, long period of rehabilitation away from politics.  

Then, in some remote future, reconciliation may become possible for a &quot;mature&quot; and &quot;responsible&quot; Franco Debono, if he should ever again aspire to politics as a quality of service, and not of ego.   

This too seems to be the meaning of Simon Busuttil&#039;s recent comments.  As a practical matter, given Franco Debono&#039;s general indispositions regarding reconcilliation, it seems more likely for hell to freeze over first.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think that on the voting day of the Budget we will have a tomatina, with no prizes for guessing who the target will be.

I think I have the right to egg a candidate who is misrepresenting me. There’s no other way left for me to show my disapproval against this dreadfui narcissist. 

At least I can tell him “Hekk, hu go fik halli tara kemm il-poplu kien mieghek!&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is about time this veritable prick be expelled from the Nationalist Party.

&#039;They want war&#039;, he says.

Little does he realise that &quot;they&quot; is the PN.

The most formidable political movement in the history of these islands, by far.

As if the PN would want war with a psychotic Klinefelter.

Wishful thinking.

The PN has had its wars and invariably came up trumps.

He should be bumped off (metaphorically speaking, of course). And the sooner the better.]]></description>
