Actually, it&#039;s the people with some brain cells who will appreciate Daphne&#039;s observations - it&#039;s people who are blinkered, petty and unable to call a spade a spade who can&#039;t do otherwise!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Are you for real?

I don&#039;t suppose you roll on the floor playing with your children you sophisticated person that you are.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Dennis, my children are grown men in their mid and late 20s. Do you think it appropriate that I should roll on the floor with them? We don&#039;t all run around reproducing in our old age, you know. When I am the Minister of National Security&#039;s age, my children will be in their 40s, not at kindergarten.]
&lt;/strong&gt;
How nice to know that your writings keep helping to keep JM in power for a longggggg time
Thank you keep it up, you are our secret campagainer

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - How infinitely childish you are. Not to be offensive or anything, but it really doesn&#039;t surprise me that you voted for this rubbish. Your thought processes and ability to assess information are seriously deficient. Also, you are frozen in time. You and your people have been insulting me for so long that you haven&#039;t stopped to realise that a quarter of a century has gone by, and ding dong, my &#039;children&#039; are now the age I was then. Wake up, fool.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The intention is good but the message is wrong; for example it would have been a better idea if children of different ethnicity were seen giving and maybe eating fruit (sending out the message &#039;look children fruit is good&#039;, playing together, sharing, giving toys, interacting.... children have a natural way of interacting together prejudice free. 

This would show that ultimately we really are all the same; black or white, rich or poor, and would also show that the government is ready to prepare the Maltese population for a reality they are not ready, and worse not prepared to accept. The message would have had been even better if the children were off-springs of people in government.]]></description>
