135, Holland Park Avenue, London is the home address of Shiv Nair, Patricia Hills (aka Paddy Hills) and her husband Richard Hills (aka Dick Hills).

Shiv Nair has been linked to that address since 1996.

Activity emanating around all people at that address, and their associates, is suspect.

They are ruthless, destructive and have no conscience.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[News such as workers caught fiddling with smart meters now attract my attention as to the hidden agenda of the news itself. 

Is this news stating that smart readers are not smart enough against corruption? Do they need changing? Maybe a &#039;Taghna Lkoll&#039; supplier could help investigate.

Other news which seems to have an ulterior agenda is that of a political history book being edited by Oliver Friggieri as part of this year&#039;s circus of festivities.  It will be distributed in schools highlighting the political history of our republic and independence events. 

Probably here the intention is to consolidate our ideas of political history before 1998 and change those thereafter - a subtle means of propaganda targeting the general population, mainly the younger, and aimed at securing and establishing the premise that Nationalist governments did not do much for Malta after all. 

That photo you once published of a seated Dr. Muscat looking at Dr. Gonzi with a certain look in his eyes comes to mind here.  

With this premise established and unchallenged by the toothless media and so-called academics, Muscat will soon be held as the true new Salvatur who cleaned and saved Malta from the &#039;others&#039;.   

Marketing and political propaganda in its worst incarnation. X&#039; biza.]]></description>

The Maltese ( PL actually) scheme of selling citizenship to outsiders is such a super bargain at the quoted prices that it worries the bejeezus out of the EU bigwigs.

Joseph  Muscat knows this and is savouring  every minute of it.

They pulled his chain in the past, now he gets to pull theirs.]]></description>

Isn&#039;t 135, Holland Park Avenue, London, the home address of someone connected to Edward de Bono of lateral thinking fame?

The Strait Street address is where one might a blacklisted World Bank consultant and avid stamp collector commissioned by Muscat as a special consultant.
