I know that there are people who starve themselves to death and that there are also others who can never eat enough. 

My question is , “Do we have to BUILD an institution when there’s a simpler solution of establishing a unit within the Health Ministry?”

I would never donate money for something which the government is expected to provide a professional service.

Dropping this project is the only option,in my opinion this should not be run by a charitable institution.]]></description>

Good workings, you said?  

What if this is the tip of the iceberg?

I know of one case where MCCF lent a (patient) lifter to a very rich lady.

We once heard that MCCF money was syphoned by some close aid of the president (not Abela).

I lost trust, punto e basta!

The time I felt best about giving money was when our family gave a sum personally to the father of our daughter’s  school mate, who is still receiving cancer treatment.

We got to know that he was picking aluminium cans for scrap metal to make ends meet. His then young daughter told ours that he collects them.

To hell with people with eating disorders, they can get inexpensive help from Mater Dei Hospital.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Extreme eating disorders are a very serious matter which require psychiatric as well as physical treatment. Some individuals literally starve themselves to death.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Don&#039;t be ridiculous. This country will be British before it is ever Sicilian, god curse them for shifty dagos.

It is something of a mystery to me how Malta boasts of surviving the toil of centuries, only to gleefully turn itself over to a bunch of jacked-up peasants and happily dismantle five centuries of sheer bloody graft. Well fucking done, republicans and patriots.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my humble opinion the President would be perceived as a great man if he were to address the nation and admit his mistake. 

He can then move forward in the best interest of MCCF whose good workings and results over the past four years have been so synonymous with President George Abela.]]></description>

Exactly so , I was sick to my stomach and will never ever rate the a_se-licker again for as long as I live.

I do believe though, that he formed part of the MCCF board and so condoned the president&#039;s robbing-hood coup in the first place. Birds of a feather flock together as they say, but these aren&#039;t plain birds but vultures.]]></description>

Actually her ACCEPTANCE was minuted. If there was a subsequent change of mind, then that should also have been minuted. Maybe those minutes aren&#039;t ready yet - the secretary might have been taken up by other matters.]]></description>

George Abela has a thick skin like all Labour supporters. In fact their skin has 25 layers - one for each year they spent in Opposition.

They are impervious to any darts thrown at them by the &#039;minority&#039;.]]></description>
