I&#039;d love to see them wriggling out of his other proposal, extending building permits indefinitely.

Will they ask for the specifics they know we won&#039;t get, before taking a stand.

Joseph won&#039;t specify any period of time, nor, and this is where it gets sticky, will he differentiate between demoltion and refurbishment.  

All he did, was to link the proposal to local plans. Whether this means he&#039;ll adapt these to his proposal or the other way round is anyone&#039;s guess. 

Poor AD. 

The FAA must be looking forward to it, lobbying on behalf of residents will become big business.]]></description>

The saying goes &quot;God helps those who help themselves.&quot; 

This is also  applicable to PN&#039;s stimulus to those who wish to better their prospects and situation in life either through further education or through investment in business and home improvement.

It is definitely not to those who, as we say in Maltese, &quot;jistennew il-bajtra taqa&#039; f&#039;halqhom.&quot; It seems, however, that labour offers these latter high hopes of improvement at the tax-payer&#039;s expense,]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And now its free tablets to all children in Year IV?

Excuse me? What does a tablet have to do with education? 

If the tablet is only going to be used for Facebook and for taking photos, it&#039;s money down the drain.

Has the MLP found a diamond mine or what?  Not even finding oil will pay for this spending.

I was married in 1984, and was employed as a clerk  in a government department. 

I was under a pensionable contract and had to choose between leaving and taking “is-somma” or staying and renouncing my right to be pensionable.

I stayed at home bringing up my three children up to 2004.

When my third child entered secondary school, I started feeling depressed and useless, got myself a job, entered university under the maturity clause and after two years of hard work, I got myself a diploma, which increased my salary equal to my husband’s.

I don’t need this clown Joseph to run MY country.

And 25% of my electricity CONSUMPTION works out to be some €200 a year; that’s equivalent to two nights out for a pizza with my ‘kids’ and their future spouses.]]></description>
