That is a very colonial attitude from a potential Prime Minister of a country which has been colonized for many centuries by outsiders who were not always kind to the local population. The Spaniards brought disease, torture to the New World, imposed their religious beliefs and drained the natural resources, annihilating the indigenous political economies, with consequences which are still resonating today.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Christopher Colombus&#039;s  quest that led to the discovery of America  was sponsored by Queen Isabella of Castille and King Ferdinand of Aragon.

In 1565,( year of the Great Seige of Malta) Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne of England following the death of  her half- sister Mary Tudor , daughter of Catherine of Aragon and granddaughter of  Ferdinand and Isabella , A grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella sat on the throne of Spain in 1565,

Ergo, it stands to reason that America was discovered by Colombus loads of years BEFORE 1565,

Sack your history advisor Dr Muscat,]]></description>

When asked about his best kiss he mentioned his first kiss but we don&#039;t know if that was with Mrs Muscat. It&#039;s unlikely to have been. I think he will sleep on the couch tonight.

Another thing that struck me is that he said that the most expensive thing he has bought was, apart from his car, a handbag for his wife.

The person he admires most is the Pope - I thought wow - but then he says that he admires him because he resigned.
