“Dr. Lukman died on 21 July 2014 in Vienna of as yet undisclosed causes, although relatives told The Sun of Nigeria that the causes of his death were subject to “speculation.” ”

Ciccio, well done. Check up on the other former OPEC heads that met a similar end, the pacts they all had together, and the timing of the deaths.

The uprising against Gaddafi started because of a massacre. Gaddafi died after 42 years of bloody, insane rule where nothing and no one was safe, not even outside of Libya.

People were jailed and held for decades without a trial. They were the lucky ones. Many were hanged, their deaths a deliberate public spectacle, in an annual event planned to intimidate the population. Thousands were summarily executed, the whereabouts of their bodies known only to their executioners and to god.

What was Gaddafi’s stray dogs policy, the financing and material support of international terrorism, the random jailing and summary execution of anyone Gaddafi decided was an enemy of the people, if not death and destruction?

Saif al-Islam is not more moderate than his father. He is simply better presented – or, rather, was better presented until his insane rambling on national TV at the start of the uprising. He knew, understood and supported his father’s decisions and was his father’s mouthpiece.

Gaddafi’s supporters are now using Saif al Islam to promote a return to the false safety of Gaddafi’s rule. Who’d have thought a Maltese fool would fall for that?

In my opinion The Malta Independent shold not be giving men like that any publicity. They are nobodies and until a few years ago, before facebook, they’d never have been able to spread their scum. Just because someone has an opinion doesn’t make that opinion worth noting.

I am not thinking only of this story but also of similar features about people who have done nothing useful or noteworthy like this man featured in The Times of Malta: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140801/local/Tatt-s-not-enough.530064

I see that such stories are popular if the number of comments is anything to go by. I suppose that at the end of the day newspapers have to be run as a business.

I apologise for being out of contest, but have you seen this? I’m fed up of how women are treated in this country.

If I were asked if I plan to have any children in the near future, I would have just smiled and replied that it’s none of the interviewer’s business.

As for the other question how I plan to manage my work while taking care of two children, I would have said that I expect my husband to share the workload with me equally, and incidentally, are you asking these questions to men too?

Just this morning I was having a debate with my husband about married couples where both members are professionals e.g. doctors or lawyers or engineers. I noted how very often the woman bows her head, takes care of the house and children and puts her career aside without as much as a whimper.

Sometimes the husband even derides the wife for not moving much up the career ladder. He would do well to note that while she had to stop working to take care of his children, he kept on studying and piling up on experience. I think the fault lies with the husband as well as the wife for accepting such a situation.

Incidentally, this conversation started after we noted how Minister for Health and Paediatric Surgeon Chris Fearne treats with disdain GPs, especially since his own wife is a GP. I could mention a few more husband consultant/ wife GP couples where the husband is derisive of GPs. I would also like to note that I know these women GPs well and they are very good at their job, occasionally even better than their male counterparts.

Please note that new GPs (those who completed training in the last 5 years) have undergone extensive training and sit for exams accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners.
