					<description><![CDATA[This is a sordid and squalid affair but please let&#039;s cut the hypocrisy.

The EU removed all levies on goods made in China and established free trade with a country where child labour, indentured labour and slavery were and still are the norm.

This has led to China overtaking the USA as the largest economic power in the world.

The result on Europe&#039;s small businesses and workers has been devastating.

The EU is fighting Chinese cheap labour by importing millions of immigrants into Europe which in turn is leading to incredible tensions in our continent. This is globalisation gone mad.

But then in the height of the removal of levies debate Lino Spiteri then argued the case that the consumer should decide. Need I say more?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - That&#039;s not what he argued when he was Labour Minister of Finance, though, and Malta was the Third-World protectionist economy par excellence.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mentioning meritocracy, a certain Ivan Falzon has just been appointed Mater Dei Hospital CEO. Times of Malta reported it with this headline &quot;Ivan Falzon appointed Mater Dei CEO&quot; as if we know who Ivan Falzon is. 

I checked his publicly available Linked In profile today to see from which highly acclaimed managerial university he has graduated. Linked In shows he has attended two schools, the Qala Primary and the Victoria Upper Secondary, which means he must have failed his Junior Lyceum exams at Year 6 and decided never to sit for another exam again.]]></description>
