Malta taghna lkoll is just implying that Malta is already everyone’s … how much it will remain if PL is in government I doubt.

There are far too many disgruntled PN supporters who will probably not vote, this will mean a vote for the PL.

No matter how much you hate the PN, go out and vote PN, unless you want Malta to go back to the dark ages of the mob.

Not so sure about that Baxxter. From my experience the civil service is way too accommodating to lazy people.

Undecided at this stage means I don’t want to say who I’m voting for. As a scientist I think it’s difficult to read into the polls with so many not responding, though I agree with Baxxter, it doesn’t look good.

Agreed 100%.

I’m not going to go into the merits of whether Kevin Drake deserves to keep his job or not. However, is ME recognized as a disorder and is medication freely available and offered by the state?

A lot of invisible illnesses cause untold suffering and I don’t believe sufferers can live with dignity on a disability pension.

My question is: are there any assisted employment schemes for sufferers? It is not fair for an employee who is ill to have to rely on the good will (sometimes absent) of an employer to stay on a job out of compassion.

It is far better to be upfront about one’s condition, take a pay cut but receive assistance in finding lighter work, or working reduced hours. We do not need to take drastic stances where one is either ill and working full-time out of an employer’s compassion or ill and out of work.

Some conditions make it possible to lead a quasi-normal life. Work also provides human interaction which an ill, stay at home person is deprived of, at times making their condition worse.

For conditions such as depression, psychotherapy and regular massages help. I would not expect the state to fund these but a pay cheque can.

It is just sad that invisible illnesses make it that much harder for the sufferer to keep a full-time job and lead a normal life.

ME really is debilitating, that was most unkind of you to say. My sister in law got fibromyalgia in her early 30s. She tries her best to keep her household ticking, but there are days when she could literally scream in pain.

Kevin Drake only has himself to blame for being totally on his own now, for the rough way he treated every woman who was ever good to him.

Besides his salary could easily cover food, heating, medication and a cleaning lady twice a week.

And they almost did. The polls never lie. This time it’s 53% for MLP and 47% for PN. Same as 2003. More’s the pity.

Lomax, don’t underestimate the PN’s election machine. Everyone thought that we were going to lose the last election five years ago, remember?

But, in all sincerity, do you actually think Joseph is going to give anything to these faithful chanters of his?

I think not. He just uses you and then throws you away. And we all know he is very clever at doing this.
