					<description><![CDATA[I am waiting for the tear-jerking songs and ballads on both sides. However, we must remember that in the UK Labour had to reinvent itself as New Labour to get elected.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Well, that worked well, didn&#039;t it. The tension carried on right until the far left, in the form of Ed Miliband, won again. And in between the whole edifice just crumbled over Gordon Brown.]&lt;/strong&gt;

As for the reduction of fuel bills by 25% for all baffles me. A huge loss of revenue, so what then - higher taxes and VAT? 

They should do like the UK and give pensioners a heating/cooling allowance. Two lots with each bill that arrives and make sure that they are fuel vouchers not cash.

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s not a fake phone.  Fake phones work, at least. That&#039;s a dummy phone.

They&#039;re all over the place. A friend tells me there&#039;s one installed close to his  parish church. 

A dummy phone just to tell everyone &#039;Malta taghna lkoll&#039;? What the hell?

They could have saved themselves the cost and instead printed that line on cheap cardboard - everything will be over in two months&#039; time. 

Or if they wanted to impress or look professional, they could have called iPhone&#039;s Apple to order an interactive one or two, programmed just for them and could have placed them in the most central areas like Paola or Valletta, to encourage people to get acquainted to their proposals on interactive life size iPhones.

If this is the way they are going to be spending public money, then watch out.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Come on Daphne, let&#039;s be serious. Do you really believe that the size of the tanks will have the same diameter of Mosta&#039;s rotunda? 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - There is nothing to &#039;believe&#039;. It is a fact. I don&#039;t think you can possibly have any idea of the volumes involved.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Tonio Fenech said they will explode. Do you really believe that the tanks will explode?  

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - He did not say that. He said there is an explosion &lt;em&gt;risk&lt;/em&gt;. He pointed out that part of legal procedure involves a security risk assessment. Do you know what this gas is? Have you ever seen the result of, for example and on a much minor scale with different gas, the result of a household gas-cylinder explosion? It can bring down a house. There is a scene in the latest James Bond film - the final scene - in which he blows up the house and overflying helicopter by throwing two ordinary gas cylinders into the fire. You can cause quite a lot of damage with an aerosol can, too.]&lt;/strong&gt;

He looked like an imbecile saying it on Xarabank .You will place a bomba he said. Making an ass out of himself. 

He could have at least washed his hair, it was so visibly greasy with dandruff on his shoulders. 

My, how shallow he is.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, because of course we think with our hair. It&#039;s you who are shallow, Luigi, and as with people who are, they are incapable of knowing it.]&lt;/strong&gt;

By the way,if Konrad was head of IT as he said, and now he has a Phd, which Phd Tonio Fenech has? 

Please elucidate me.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - How exactly is a PhD either required or beneficial in these circumstances, unless it is specifically related to this kind of power station?]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
