					<description><![CDATA[Yes, the Volvo used by Stefan Buontempo - GM21 - is a spanking new one.  

What I would really like to know is why he was supplied with a new car when he already had one for the previous 5 weeks or so (also bearing the plates GM21), and which looked in very good shape.  

Not fancy enough to impress, perhaps?  Impress Buotempo does, but in all the wrong ways, especially when collecting his elder son from outside St. Martin&#039;s College in Swatar, when he&#039;s generally &quot;busy&quot; talking shop on his mobile phone, with that lehen ta&#039; pastizz.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But why is anyone surprised?

Joseph Muscat takes his daughter to Melita for football every Saturday morning, complete with driver, security and semi official car - that famous Alfa.

Apparently a couple of weeks ago there was a match with the visiting team being Qormi FC U13 who were all amazed at the incredible close up view of their leader, though I suspect it was also due to the fact that they realised they were as tall as him, that they insisted on a group photo and broke out in a spontaneous chant of &#039;Jowseff Jowseff&#039; that quickly brought on such dirty looks from most of the other parents, that he had sense enough to shoosh them albeit with a big grin on his face.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Can they just defy every one and go on making use of official cars, petrol, staff, etc. etc. without any control whatsoever.  Are there no ethics they should be made to follow ?  Or is that the Maltese taxpayers continues to foot their bills ?]]></description>
