					<description><![CDATA[The average wo/man in the street may have been naïve, but I can never exonerate the columnists who supported Muscat before the election, and now continue to support him by excusing, justifying and downplaying his blatant arrogance and deceit.

Are they too timid to admit that they were wrong, or are they happy to be accomplices by their failure to censure him, as they did in the days of Mintoff and KMB?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[U min nesa, issa reġa&#039; qed iġarrab.  F&#039;sitt xhur tefgħuna 30 sena lura.  Ħasra li aħna tqannejna b&#039;dawn il-Makkjavellisti mikluba għall-poter ħakkiemi u l-flus.  Poplu li kellu ragħaj u beżaqlu u sallbu, poplu mogħża.. iva mogħża...xejn aktar..ried bidla, għax hekk il-moda, kulħadd hekk kien qed jgħid, dak eċitament.  U l-qagħda tal-lum miskina, tmexxija bbażata fuq il-gidba, issa anke min appoġġjahom, qed jipprotesta, eżempju klassiku, it-Times of Malta, li tant xerrditilhom propaganda, u tant sawtet lill-gvern ta&#039; qabel.  Niftakar meta fl-era soċjalista, ħarquha u ġabuha daħna.  Dakinhar protestajt, imma llum nistqarr, kif jistgħu nies li ġarrbu dan kollu, jmorru lura għall-ħama u d-dlam.  Issa inutli nibku biki tal-kukkudrilli, dan riżultat ta&#039; dekadenza qawwija, poplu bla direzzjoni.   

Kollox kien imbassar u webbsu rashom.  Niftakar fl-episodju ta&#039; Lazzru u l-għani, meta marru fejn jixirqilhom wara ħajjithom, l-għani talab biex lazzru jġiblu qatra ilma, imma kien tard wisq u l-għani talab biex almenu jmur jgħid lill-qraba biex jindmu, imma kien imwissi li qrabatu għandhom il-profeti u qajla jisimgħuhom, aħseb u ara kemm ser jisimgħu minn Lazzru.....u l-għani baqa&#039; jitqalleb fin-nar.

Unfortunately we did not &#039;hlisna minnhom&#039; in 1987 because unfortunately and perhaps magnanimously The newly elected PN Government did not make a clean sweep of the administrative top echelons.  

Good number of shady characters in the Civil Service even got promoted. We did not at least have a public admission of wrong doing from persons who trod on us especially in the 1980 - 1987. 

These same people and there unpunished &#039;modus operandi&#039; and their &#039;frame of mind&#039; have come to haunt us back. What a pity that this has come about because a good number  electors within disparate groups and many of them with conflicting interests aka hunters, environmentalists, bird catchers, speculators, egoists, opportunists, etc decided that their interests would be best served by having Joseph Muscat in government.]]></description>
