					<description><![CDATA[FKNK may - rightly or wrongly - be accused of indiscriminate slaughter of birds.

They may not, however, be accused of misanthropy - given that they are backing an EP candidate who has promised to donate half his (prospective but not yet acquired) salary to charity for the next five years.

Whether the whole shenanigan is a back-scratching exercise or not we do not know at the present. That will emerge sooner rather than later.

Incidentally the 186,000 Euros promised by Cuschieri in his (mock-heroic) pledge could very easily be forked out by FKNK members themselves. 

How?

The yearly outlay would be in the region of 37,000 Euros. If one assumes FKNK membership to be at least 3,700 souls, that would mean a measly 10 Euros per person per year.

May I suggest to FKNK that they ask Cuschieri to forego his donation - if, that is, his salary should ever materialize - and to distribute the proposed bounty out of their own pockets.]]></description>
