The worst is, he&#039;s not the only one. There are those out there who had been given (illogical, unethical, corrupt - say it as it is) reason to expect that if they and their extended family could be counted on for a Labour vote and vouched for it, then their dues with the VAT department will be &#039;disappeared.&#039;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So that was what the Super One outside broadcasting unit doing outside Castille last week. 

Will someone please ask the PM whether this promo video was shot by Super One at OUR expense? 

Whether a tender was issued? What were the Protagonisti promised in return for their appearance on the video? 

And by the way that guy outside the ETC office hardly looks thrilled at being given a job under Labour. 

And as for the girl working at Terranova, well it was not the Government who found her a job but a private enterprise.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, so first it was all about getting there and post March it has become all about staying there. 

Of course the way to do this is by making sure no one complains about the public transport system, the out of stock medicines, the queues in hospital, the waiting lists etc. 

Funny (sad really) how everything that was so aggressively maligned has remained the same, yet it has suddenly become OK. If nothing more it is a lesson in the power of manipulating public perception and muzzling key people.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last Friday afternoon on One radioI heard Toni Abela boasting about how his party&#039;s strategies have become so sophisticated that the PN can&#039;t catch up. Actually he said li &quot;In-Nazzjonalista ma jafux minn fejn se jibdew maghhom&quot;. He doesn&#039;t realise how arrogant that sounds from the position of government.]]></description>

My fear is that we are getting used to being disgusted with what Labour does.

I am getting into the habit of switching channels or not continuing to read. But it&#039;s not right. We must make an effort and be vigilant.]]></description>

When they give me a proper beach where my dog can swim, between the months of June and September, then I will say that they are a step closer to the rights of animals.

Before that it&#039;s all bla, bla, bla....like everything else these last 105 days.]]></description>
