Ciccio I think you&#039;re on to something hot here.

But as much as I thought about how to put the detail here yesterday night, I think Joseph &#038; Co will need to try and concentrate on other things now because I can&#039;t see how they will survive this one on the better side of 49% unless the lies are phenomenally brilliant.

I was going to go in the direction of server hacks and interference with mail and correspondence which would have been the tip of another iceberg. 

I think the surveillance network I was told they had put out to trace contributors here this week becomes irrelevant in the light of this mega ground-shaking scandalous turn-out of events.]]></description>

I believe this Schembri worked at Enemalta at some point and was either sacked or made to resign or resigned voluntarily. 

His name appears frequently disguised as a born again Mintoffian. What I mean is that he says that he has struggled with his Labourite convictions and after careful study he came round to believing in Mintoff again.

What is strange is that sometimes his English is good and in others it is atrocious. 

If the following are penned by the same person then contrast: http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/2009/10/11/l3.html with http://andrewazzopardi.org/2012/09/03/i-am-choosing-to-stop-here-out-of-respect-of-the-much-needed-reconciliation-says-ethelbert-schembri/.

The Labour propaganda machine is well oiled. And it is the only thing that will save Muscat et al from going to the dogs.]]></description>

There is no gift and no information.  The courts take years to decide on libel suits, long after the the reason for the suit has lost its original relevance. Then the award settlement is usually a few hundred Euro at most.

Contrast that with the media headlines and coverage obtained by the unfounded accusation, the damage caused to the victim and, in this case, to the credibility of the PN at such a crucial stage in the electoral campaign.  

Then take into account the deflection of the well-founded charges presented by Tonio Fenech in regard to the involvement of PL key official in the oil scandal. 

Varist and Gino end up with good value by their &#039;gift&#039; accusation, slimy though they and their accusation are.]]></description>
