Ummm no she shouldn&#039;t. It is actually not her fault. It is Muscat&#039;s fault for crossing an invisible line, a line that was only invisible to him. Now that it has been crossed it is a free-for-all.

Those who drafted the treaties are the ones to blame for not seeing that this would be possible. They did not make allowance for this in the treaties because it is one area that the Member States generally try to stay away from - the granting or otherwise of citizenship.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Muscat was celebrated by his supporters as a pioneer of the innovative means of raising money by selling passports. I guess what they didn&#039;t bank on was that competition would come so early as to jeopardise whatever profit they hoped to gain in the meantime.

I wonder what the reaction of the Maltese beggars hoping to get their slice will be.]]></description>

People like Robert seem to start out in life with a huge chip on their shoulders and this, unfortunately but inescapably, colours everything else they get involved in.

Look at the amount of unnecessary conditioned emotion he reveals that speaks volumes.]]></description>

The only &#039;advantage&#039; we had, or thought we had, was a total lack of self respect, but we don;t have a monopoly on that either.]]></description>
