I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a back-scratching exercise. Labour never mince words when it comes to Nationalist faults. Hell, they don&#039;t mince words when they fabricate Nationalist faults. The Opposition should be having a field day with all these abuses going on but, although starting to find its feet, it still doesn&#039;t seem to have the vigour and bite to be effective.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do these people, now in government, have no respect whatsoever with this kind of behaviour? 

Do they think that their party and the government are one and the same thing? 

Do they understand the difference between legal and illegal? 

Do they respect the management of people&#039;s money, which they spend as if it was their own? 

Is there no outside force that brings such behaviour to order? 

Do they think that they now own Malta taghna lkoll and  steam roll everyone? 

Do they know that there is a minority, which deserves respect and which could easily turn into a majority, that has had enough of these tactics?

What about the other billboard companies? Do they just sit and watch? Should they not protest? Why have the MEPA and Transport Malta done nothing?

Ultimately, since the PN is now the underdog, should it not do something to force the issue?

My blood boils.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This morning at around 11.15 a billboard in Msida advertising the government&#039;s reduction of electricity tariffs was being removed and carried away on an appropriate trailer. 

Was this one of the illegal &#039;temporary&#039; billboards?]]></description>
