					<description><![CDATA[Dear Ms Galizia, I am not a big fan of your blog and the way you express your ideas but putting that aside I am a true believer in equality and human rights, and the right of freedom of speech and expression is one of them, so i guess no one can stop you from this. 

Further more,by posting a comment like this about the Labour supporters seems quite unfair as you&#039;re putting everyone in one sock. Due to the Maltese education system , which by the way the Nationalists are so proud of, and its countries&#039; turn out rate in education, I have managed to actually learn and educate myself during the years. Along with the fact that Mintof was the one who started this education system where workers children could go to school. So it seems like a good reason why your generalizing so much knowing how fond you were of him. 

So, if you think that only your &quot;type&quot; of people are educated you should clearly take a look at the facts of who is graduating every year from the University of Malta. And besides, what is there not to understand in your blog, its not like you write in Greek, its simple English, since clearly you&#039;re not to comfortable speaking in Maltese.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - It was not Mintoff who sent the workers&#039; children to school. It was the British colonial administration that made primary schooling compulsory, and it had to be made compulsory because parents wouldn&#039;t have sent them otherwise. They thought children should work. And it was Borg Olivier&#039;s (Nationalist) government that made university free. That&#039;s why all that sexagenarian scum in your Labour Party was able to go to university. Or haven&#039;t you been able to work out that people like Karmenu Vella turned 18 before Mintoff came into power? 

And no, I don&#039;t write Greek, but it&#039;s certainly not &#039;simple English&#039;. It&#039;s idiomatic British English, and when read by people who know only the Globish version, much is lost in translation. Hence the confusion and the belief that this is hate speech when all it is is mockery.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ghaziz cittadin Dylan,

Milli nista nimmagina ghandek xi 15/16-il sena, tifel zghir li ma tafx x&#039;igifieri socjalizmu sfrenat. Ha naghlmek ftit.

Kont taf li qabel fi zminkom biex ikollok TV tal-kulur ried tmur ghand ministru u ittih xi haga? 

Kont taf li fi zminkom meta toghli it-telefon biex iccempel kont tisma lin-nies ohrajn jitkelmu? 

Kont taf li f&#039;certu irhula Maltin ma kontx tista timxi fit-triq bil-gazetta tal-PN ghax kont tirriskja li taqla xeba? 

Kont taf li affarijiet ta&#039; l-ikel ta&#039; barra minn ta&#039; linqas kien hawn u illum issib minn kollox? 

Habib tieghi, jekk nibqa sejjer qas nieqaf. Ikber, iftah mohhok u turiex il-wicc veru arroganti tal-MLP.

GRAZZI
