Oh our dear old Eddy, memory seems to be abandoning you in old age - or maybe it is just good old lejber selective memory.  

Maybe you have forgotten that this is the same Simon who as head of the public communications office ahead of Malta&#039;s referendum on EU membership participated in a number of debates even at the dar tal-hgieg, in front of a baying crowd (were you among them? you certainly fit the profile).  

I think it was either Gorg Vella or Varist Bartolo who, at the end of one such bear-baiting event, publicly expressed his admiration as Simon stayed calm and collected in the face of a hostile audience.  Some in that same audience even grudgingly applauded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To use punctuation marks you understand so well.

U issa ha jibza&#039; minn nofs kedda li jeqred iktar minn kunjata frustrata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there you go again).

When you are agreed to meet a counterpart to discuss important issues you don&#039;t accept to meet just about anyone that counterpart, in his infinite insolence and show of abysmal mintoffian manners, decides to send in his stead.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the sake of sane politics I think that the people want to see both Debono vs Busuttil &#038; Farrugia vs Busuttil debating. 

PBS cannot deny the people from knowledge. This is purely dictatorship. We want to know what is behind EVERY political party&#039;s agenda! Give it to us PBS.]]></description>

I am ashamed to admit that I was actually entertaining the idea of spending my vote on this clan of baboons. 

How irresponsible that would have been.
