No, you&#039;re completely wrong. I&#039;ve got a twitter account and checked this #boycottmalta &#038; the posts are all very recent. Check here:

Just because I am sick of bad English and feel it my duty to educate (to the limited extent possible) at least one of my fellow country savages. So, I think you mean:

1) You think it is representative of public opinion...and &quot;overwhelmingly&quot; not &quot;wholesome&quot; (that&#039;s a word you use for bread or your granny, though maybe not in this case with respect to the latter)

2) I assure YOU

3) Public opinion does not take the definite article

4) &quot;It is also in blogs&quot;: you cannot use it because it is not clear what &quot;it&quot; refers to. I suppose you mean &quot;evidence of this is also found in blogs&quot;

5) &quot;You search and you see&quot;: You must mean, &quot;Evidence of this is available should you wish to find it&quot;.

6) This is not the first time there has been a move to boycott Malta

7) &quot;...only one comment about the issue&quot;. What issue? You would need to clarify: I presume you mean &quot;recent events&quot;

8) &quot;They can be...&quot;who is they? Do you mean bloggers, commentators, tweeters? 

9) ..for all &quot;we&quot; care...is this the royal &quot;we&quot;? Or are you some sort of messiah who speaks on behalf of many? No, I didn&#039;t think so, so don&#039;t use &quot;we&quot; (I&#039;m sure you aren&#039;t royal either)

Also, while I am at it, a word on your logical progression through this argument. 

1) &quot;I assure it is not&quot;: whether many other people agree or not is neither here nor there and has no bearing on how we feel about the fact that many people think Malta is a racist backwater; you see, we disagree with the people who agree with you (no, really?)

2) &quot;...they can be Maltese people in disguise for all we care&quot;: yes, I am slightly baffled by this one, as this is clearly the Italian media, so unless several Maltese Neanderthals have infiltrated the media there...well, you can see where I am going with this one, surely.

3) &quot;Many others will come&quot;: a slightly hopeful supposition in the current economic climate.

Thank you. I am here all week. 

Regards,
a bored student (and her dog, who contributed point number 3 in section 2)]]></description>
