					<description><![CDATA[Not directly related but - what I can&#039;t understand is how, two months on and counting, Lino Spiteri is still stuck in whinge mode. 

For example, he moans on and on about our deficit going up to 3.3% of GDP. To which I can only say &quot;Man up, Lino&quot; - you can&#039;t have it both ways: either Labour are going to say it as it is, or else they have to lump it. 

If our new administration really had a pair, they would have passed a different budget but they clearly don&#039;t have the necessary. 

Au contraire, they&#039;ve lumped the Exchequer with - so far - nearly 400 goons who will cost us about €16&#039;000&#039;000 p.a. and for which we will get . . . absolutely nothing. 

Again, Lino doesn&#039;t mention this, with a straight face he claims Joseph Muscat has appointed people from both sides of the political divide. 

So, in conclusion, let Mr Mangion spend a year promoting Maltese bands  - in fact, let the whole Labour movement stew in their own juice for the next five years (by which time William Mangion and co. will have cost us 80 million). 

Then, we&#039;ll ask those who voted Labour  - apart from 400 odd bazuzli - whether they&#039;re better off.]]></description>
