the time has come to stop donating altogether for social reasons. The government has the sole duty to see to their needs and not put any burden on the citizens. Il- kaxxa ta’ Malta should include financing these social entities.

We are being abused emotionally to contribute to which the state is bound to look after.

This has made the president the biggest bugger on the Island for the past 5 years. It is an ABUSE and should stop immediately.

Marie Claire must be a qualified pharmacist.

I worry for a seventeen year old girl who lives in my neighbourhood. She looks like a walking skeleton. I worry when I don’t see her around.

Her close family are really worried about her health, and it seems that they are helpless in the situation.

The money can be put to better use for the sick and the elderly, as well as to pay for research to resolve certain illnesses, such as multiple sclerosis.

Under LG’s watch. In collusion with Lawrence Gonzi, you mean. I know I sound peevish but I can’t say it often enough – the last PN government was poor.

In reply to Tabatha White. Er, sometimes they actually think they're not doing anything wrong. You'll have come across that. You've been in Malta long enough.

The Eating Disorder is not much of a problem compared with the Governing Disorder.

In reply to Tabatha White. Legal, maybe. However, how stupid can these people be to not recognize that they would eventually be found out?

This is why they lost the election. Not that “ma smajtniex bizzejjed lill-poplu” rubbish. That’s the stuff that comfortable slow-witted academics put in their PN Telfa Elettorali reports, because it makes for comfortable reading, and salves everybody’s conscience.

Yes, institutionalised corruption was not uncommon under Lawrence Gonzi’s administration. Very little of it involved illegal activity. But their lawyers’ pea brains only see what’s in the rule book.
