I think European embassies are more likely to consider the application seriously. They will not approve it, but they will send reports back their home country. If we get the critical mass, the story will sooner or later hit the headlines.

It&#039;s either that or protests.]]></description>

What does seeing criminals feted do to an honest man? 

Criminals given positions of power and people with private interests given positions of power. 

What does using two weights and two measures do to a man if not erode his being? ]]></description>

It&#039;s amazing, but he has just done that.  

The country is united against him in his bid to sell the national identity to complete strangers for a cheap price in total secrecy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One aspect that people seem to not see at the moment, is the fact that the bona fida Chinese or Arab does not need Maltese citizenship.  Their monely already buys them bona fida investments in the EU and the States.  

Most of you for example will be unaware of the fact that the Lloyds Building in the UK does not belong to Lloyds or to a UK company for that matter, but actually belongs to a Chinese company.  

You will also now know that substantial developments being built on the South bank in London are not being built for your average Londoner to move into, but are being built to cater for the hundreds of Chinese families whose children attend UK Universities.

The honest (or above board) Chinese entrepreneur therefore already has his gateway open to Europe.  They do not need our passport in order for their children to be educated in the UK or elsewhere as they are already getting their education there.

It is the dishonest Chinese/Arab/South American businessman on the other hand that needs our passport.  And it is these people who will be willing to pay the money to buy it, and it is this reason why they are demanding that their identity remains secret.  And this is why Labour are wrong in what they are doing and in how they are introducing this scheme.

To answer Manuel Mallia&#039;s comment in Parliament last Saturday when he expressed the hope that Mario Demarco was not comparing him to a common prostitute with the sale of our citizenship, all one can answer is YES Manuel you and your government are common prostitutes.In fact you are worse than whores, because you have the means not to prostitute yourselves but you choose to for that short term gain just to feed your habit of greed]]></description>

Edgar, in politics, and everything else, one learns never to burn bridges.  In the same way you are perceiving that Gasan changed loyalties, he will change again.  Businessmen will always change to what suits their pocket best.

In the past, the PN did, currently Labour do.  The art will be bringing them back to the PN being more useful for them.

Excluding them from Net does not do that.]]></description>
