“He lives at one with nature” implies that he grows his own food fertilised by his own excrement and weaves his own clothes from the chaff, assuming he wears any at all.

Why WOULDN’T you vote for him?

Perhap European Greens need this piece of information.

But then, the link’s historical.

What’s critter yoga?

Oh hello you. Where did anyone mention censorship? This isn’t about not printing that piece, but printing one alongside it to question the ridiculous style, logic and substance. Better still, to print an interview with Arlette Baldacchino.

In any case, on the off-chance that you might understand this, that piece is extremely incongruous among all the feel-good sandwich-filler articles on what is essentially a free paper for expats. Call it an error in brand positioning.

How right you are. There you go.

That’s because Daphne, as usual, is the only journalist – indeed, the only Maltese – to directly engage these people.

21st December, 2012, the start of The Age of Kritaryuga.

I’m still waiting.

The pseudo-liberal AD activist and Sunday Times columnist Claire Bonello acted for Arlette Baldacchino in a trumped up libel case against Daphne, defending her racist client against accusations of racism.

There you go.

The trouble isn’t Norman Lowell or his views. It’s that Arlette Baldacchino is considered a perfectly normal member of society, and respectable too, and no one has found the courage – as if it needed courage – to challenge her, or Norman Lowell. All we get is over-the-horizon sniping by a few columnists, poo-pooing, or misplaced humour.

The closest we got was Lou Bondì’s interview with Norman Lowell, which was abysmal, revolving around Bondì’s gushing admiration for black rock n’ roll artistes, and Lowell wishing he were somewhere else. They were both talking past each other, and we got nowhere.

I expect more of the same for the MEP campaign. Lowell will get his sterile five-minute slot on PBS, as per the rules, with a wooden moderator looking on (Edward Scicluna used to be the star moderator, which says it all). And that will be it.

There’s a vast intellectual chasm beneath our feet, and it will swallow us up yet.

They’ve been at their Anglo-Saxons, Slavs and Latin thingy for ages.

When was this Imperium supposed to come of age, 2010?
