Sew qed tghid siehbi. 

A video about war? People don&#039;t like to be reminded about anything to do with war.

Had the video been represented by the gay community who voted for the &#039;Taghna Lkoll&#039; propaganda, who recently flocked to St. George&#039;s Square in hundreds, to celebrate their rights, something they&#039;ve been enjoying for years, we probably would have done better than Concita.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ramona? X&#039;telghet taghmel? And Deo? Dan kollu ghax jaghmel programm fuq il-Eurovision. 

Tela biex jidher ixejjer il-bandiera. That&#039;s why we did badly, as the majority of the team were there for their own sake and not to promote the song.  

Meetings with the juries of various countries is not enough. The song had to be promoted in various countries so we get the televoters on our side. But this year NO promotion at all. 

Basta ghamlu video tad-dwejjaq. Sorry Malta - BIG FAIL this year. Konna sejrin &#039;il quddiem bil-mod. But this year 100 pass lura.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Teachers need the consent of their head teacher and the college principal to travel abroad. 

Then they need to ask for the permission of the Director for Human Resources, Mr Micallef, a Labour voter who was put in this position by the Nationalist government when meritocracy was really practised. 

Mr Micallef is known for being very difficult in granting permission even for travel which is school related, such as exchanges under the Comenius/Erasmus projects. Also, teachers (correctly) have to ensure that they catch up with all their missed lessons once they are back at school. 

How Deo Grech was given permission to travel to Copenhagen for the Eurovision Song Contest during term time when he is head of school, is a big mystery.]]></description>
