					<description><![CDATA[I tasted the vindictive attitude of Labour first hand. Not only did it not frighten me but it filled me with courage and dreadnought. 

Each and every stroke of their whip as they flogged filled my DNA with maturity, steadfastness and determination that NEVER WILL LABOUR EVER WIN ME TO THEIR SIDE. 

I stand on my two feet, tall, proud and determined to go forward.]]></description>

If PwC or Deloitte make a statement and contradict the prime minister, they will forgo any consultancy work for the next four years. Everyone is scared of the MLP, it is quite implicit.

We are not talking of a normal government here, but a vindictive and violent regime.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Have PWC and Deloitte made a statement? If not why not?

As for Henley &amp; Partners, it seems that they really have tied this one up in more ways than one. 

Not only have they established rather high fees which are to be the set price to clients which they will esrn over their clients and everyone else&#039;s, not only do they get paid a commission out of the contribution the new citizen has to pay, but they get to sit on the EUR650,000 of each client which could earn them more in terms of interest on that money. 

No wonder they are fighting tooth and nail to control this scam. The question is why is Muscat bending over backwards to accommodate them putting at risk, nay, destroying, Malta&#039;s reputation in the process?]]></description>
