					<description><![CDATA[The finance minister, Edwward Scicluna, thinks the national debt is a &quot;contingent liability&quot;  - rather than a real liability. 

No wonder the deficit is climbing if he thinks the national debt is &quot;contingent&quot;.  

And this is the Minister of Finance and a professor of economics. Incredible.

So actually they are now making more per person standing than they used to when they used to charge them. I thnk it used to be around EUR 15 per person standing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gianni Zammit has been out of NNG for ages. 

The reason government backs this event is because they desperately want to out-do the Isle of MTV concert which the Nationalist Party initiated and is by far more successful. It was a cast-iron contract so they couldn&#039;t give it to some bazuzlu. 

And they want Joseph Calleja&#039;s one to be the prime propaganda driver for the regime so they subsidise it to the hilt. Anyway Joseph Calleja sadly has joined their ranks.]]></description>
