					<description><![CDATA[&lt;em&gt;&quot;The fact of the matter is that Mintoff came to power on a wave of ignorance, stayed in power because of that ignorance, and was only narrowly voted out because of that ignorance. And now a man who seeks to emulate him has been propelled into power on an even bigger wave of ignorance when, given the progress in this country, we should have had less ignorance and not more.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

I think that Mintoff came to power on a wave of envy and spite, rather than ignorance - as did Muscat. Education, to most of us, is solely the acquisition of knowledge. I would even go as far as to suggest that our mode of education nurses ignorance rather than eradicates it; analytical and evaluation skills are not part of the &quot;package&quot;.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, you are right. That is, in fact, the problem.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Well what can I say, Ciccio?

You know, there are nine million bicycles in Beijing. That&#039;s a fact. It&#039;s a thing we can&#039;t deny. Like the fact that Labour will be in power when I die.

We are twelve millimetres from the edge...

It didn&#039;t have to be cancelled. The band didn&#039;t want to pay rent, didn&#039;t want to look for a sponsor, didn&#039;t want to have a sponsor, and doesn&#039;t want a big enough audience to cover its costs.

So they cancelled.]]></description>
