Not phoney at all. A young man I knew who used to stink like a billygoat was compelled to throw away his clothes every season. His mother try as she might never succeeded in washing off the stains of accumulated filth, so there was no other option.

LOL fej lahaq ???? igifiri ghax ikollok naqra ta paga iktar min 20000 euro tajjeb illum ? MESKINA is socjeta maltija

[Daphne – Yes, except for the obvious fact that men who are in need of clothes discarded by people like Jason Micallef have little or no use for the sort of clothes he wears.]

Seems like the Times of Malta have a fetish for old people…first it was Agatha’s ‘love’ letter, now this. Pathetic isn’t the right word. I have a feeling that the rumour I heard about some big shot with a foot in Castille is correct.

I don’t think this one can be run over actually. Isn’t he from Mellieha himself?

Or simply just marry them off.

Thats right. Socialism was a bridge between communism and capitalism. It had nothing to offer in its own right. Make a checklist and tick accordingly in context of present situation.

Sammy Meilaq used to always wear a boilersuit. Does that make him a socialist?

What if it’s in the context of satire, and the lie is so obviously untrue that no one will believe it? (as in the Jerry Falwell vs Larry Flynt case). Or if the subject is gay but the false accusation is that he or she is heterosexual?

[Daphne – The Larry Flynt case was in the US. The law is different there, so we can’t make any kind of fair comparison. And yes, saying that a gay person is heterosexual in a context where this could cause him/her damage is libellous. An example: claiming that Gabi Calleja is a straight woman only pretending to be gay would have been clearly libellous in the context of her public image and lobbying work.]
