I don&#039;t think it&#039;s just that.  I think that they don&#039;t like anything that can&#039;t be edited.  Look at how evasive Muscat himself is whenever faced with a journalist/cameraman ... his furrow always make an entrance when the questions/answered are not set ones which are rehearsed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A.  &quot;Nippruvaw ninvolvuhom kemm nistgħu fl-impenji soċjali li jkollna, u huma adattaw ruħhom tajjeb ħafna għall-ħajja tagħna.” Please tell me (unless I am so daft) how can a couple - particularly since these are the PM and his wife - involve two five-year olds in their social events.

B. In this interview Michelle Muscat makes reference to an &quot;abandoned garden&quot; (in the Style magazine she referred to it as &quot;secret garden&quot;) at Villa Francia.  She should clarify whether this garden is part and parcel of the Villa or whether this is a field which is legally looked after by a full-time farmer.

C.  And who gave her the right to use the &quot;royal plural&quot; throughout the interview when referring to Government business.  Some examples are (a) &quot;Aħna bil-għaqal, u l-għaqal ifisser deċiżjonijiet f’waqthom biex ma jbati ħadd u ma jsirux inġustizzji ġodda&quot;, (b) &quot;Inħoss li waħda mill-akbar sfidi tagħna hi....&quot;, (c) &quot;dak li ġie traskurat fl-imgħoddi rridu nindirizzawh&quot;, and (d) &quot;dan hu dak li għamilna b’enerġija kbira&quot;.  She was not far from saying &quot;My husband and I&quot;.]]></description>
