					<description><![CDATA[&#039;Sahhara&#039;? Why&#039;s that? Because you don&#039;t sport heavy gold chains,  a score of bangles on each arm and 70s Dolly Parton hair?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No, their idea of the ideal female look has changed. So now it&#039;s because I don&#039;t starve myself into a pair of size 6 &#039;jeans&#039; at 48, don&#039;t wear 6-inch stilettos from 7am to midnight, don&#039;t compete with the daughter I don&#039;t have, don&#039;t wear make-up and don&#039;t dye my hair black/highlight it blonde/tug it three times a week into a lifeless rug, don&#039;t wear Beirut-cafe-style outfits, don&#039;t flirt and whine, actually have some conversation. The idea of somebody as uneducated, hideously ugly, vulgar, stupid and common as Ronnie Pellegrini actually &lt;em&gt;daring&lt;/em&gt; to criticise anyone else is, of course, laughable. But that&#039;s just more evidence of his stupidity and lack of self-awareness.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The fact that Alfred Sant more or less resigned (called an election to do so) shows how impossible his task of ruling amongst so many gangsters was.

Alfred Sant was too intellectual and too strong willed to ever be a successful MLP leader.

By appointing so many cretins and thugs (Jason, Ronnie, Sigmund and all the rest) PL has just shot itself in the foot. 5 years on it will be served with the entry ticket to many decades in opposition. People trusted them but they did not live up to the opportunity they received.]]></description>

Pardon me, but I&#039;m too young to remember this. This is a very infamous photo that gets published time and time again when Lorry Sant is mentioned. What was the meeting all about (in a nutshell)?

Thanks, Daphne.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I was there, but can&#039;t remember. It was some kind of debate organised by AD, between its new founder Wenzu Mintoff and Lorry Sant, the man who, as it turned out, tried to blackmail Wenzu Mintoff with the very same pictures he&#039;d used all along to blackmail his uncle Dom. It was held in Freedom Square (so appropriate) in Valletta. Georg Sapiano was a media personality at the time and was there as moderator.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
