Why are you comparing the &quot;small rock&quot; with the UK, Mr Zammit?

Why do you not compare it with countries like Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Holland or Germany, for instance, where the only place one is highly likely likely to spot ADULT women like Antonella is posing in windows?

It is absolutely of no consolation to me knowing that there are worse situations in the UK, John Zammit - do you feel at ease with the increasing number of women, and even worse, girls as young as twelve and thirteen dressed and behaving like whores?

It is one the first things that my many non-Maltese friends, including their teenage children, notice when they visit Malta. And their first reaction is utter shock.]]></description>

They actually were open to women, Futur Imcajpar. I remember this very well. 

Someone from my neighbourhood at the time had engaged with the &quot;Dejma Corp&quot;. 

She was about nineteen or twenty years old and I also remember that she used to do night shifts &quot;ghassa Sant Jiermu&quot; together with a couple of other young women. Can you imagine?

Oh, and by the way, she was a Laburista. They used to engage only very well known Laburisti.]]></description>
