					<description><![CDATA[This corrupted plan was cooked up way before the last election when Henley rigged, sorry ranked, Malta&#039;s passport at the No. 9 best passport on its self serving index in 2012 ......

Then sold this evil &quot;citizenship for sale quick buck&quot; idea to PL (like they did to St. Kitts and Nevis; and almost to Antigua and Barbuda recently - check out the outcry when they tried to pull a quick one as both the marketing and due diligence agent for the Antigua program) in exchange for campaign services.

Now payback time - remember the movie &quot;Devil&#039;s Advocate&quot; anyone?]]></description>

Is there a risk that the Malta Labour Party&#039;s &#039;aristocracy&#039; burn down the buildings of the FT?  They did it with The Times in Malta.

					<description><![CDATA[If the Prime Minister seriously wishes to save Malta&#039;s reputation he should do the honourable thing, resign and go to the polls. 

His rash and ill-thought through actions have humiliated our nation which until only 9 short months ago was held in high and reliable esteem. 

We have yet to quantify the costs and feel the pinch of such irresponsibility and sheer incompetence. 

A financial services centre is painstakingly built block by block on the foundation of trust. In one master stroke, believing he could exploit a legal loophole by abusing sovereign rights, Muscat has betrayed that trust.]]></description>

Do you mind Tabatha? 

&#039;..This is not a &quot;SALE&quot; of citizenship, but a &quot;GRANTING&quot; of citizenship to those who are ready to INVEST a part of their wealth in a FUND created specifically for this purpose, which FUND will be used for the further development of our country and for other initiatives that will improve the standard-of-living of the Maltese people etc.. !!!!! THis is why the PN is so much against this programme. Because this will threaten even further their electoral chances !&#039;

Do I have to tell you who the expert is?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20131210/local/citizenship-talks-on-hold.498338

So there&#039;s confusion according to sources. Let&#039;s say Simon spilt the beans on RTK yesterday shall we? 

Honestly, Times of Malta is committing suicide if it keeps giving Muscat any credit. It&#039;s obvious what his plan was, procrastinate then blame the Opposition. 

I believe a certain Daphne Caruana Galizia said so last week. 

As for Professor Bannister, Evarist doesn&#039;t really trust him, or so he says. 

Both the Leader of the Opposition and the chairman of the MFSA to keep clear of his dirty tactics, now.  

Things will come to head, and with Labour, in the manner least expected.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#039;t want to be Muscat at the moment, if he had any idea of the grave consequences his decisions can bring about anyway.

This is serious, and no Malta Taghna Lkoll elvish can change it. Welcome to the real world, Labour; it&#039;s so much worse than you think. 

All the Josanne Cassars and Kenneth Zammit Tabonas please note, you&#039;re just an obscure group of local commentators who count for absolutely nothing when it comes to global perception. 

Time to grow up, all of you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is hardly news.

The message from the British Government was conveyed to Joey in Sri Lanka.

That could  be the only reason possible for his sudden telephonic U-turn from CHOGM.

That it is now splashed across the front pages of the world&#039;s most prestigious newspaper must certainly be the fault of BusuttilPN (formerly GonziPN).]]></description>
