You seem to want a lot of things there, Ms Cutajar.


Alas, there&#039;s that pesky thing called decency which rears its head every time those who think they can do and say whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want, and have a tantrum about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To put things in language you understand, when a minister shags a woman other than the one he&#039;s married to, he&#039;s the cause of his own problems. 

Being a minister isn&#039;t a day job akin to working shifts in a factory. You are a minister all the time and everywhere which is precisely, I imagine, the pull-factor in his case.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How wrong you are, Ms. Cutajar.


Anything that a  public figure or &#039;politically exposed person,&#039; and especially a Minister, does is, and should be, open to scrutiny. 

The public who ultimately elects them have a right to know everything about the people they have trusted to run the country on their behalf.


What Joe Public does is nobody&#039;s business. But what a Minister does - even in his free time - is everybody&#039;s business. History is replete with examples.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, but we are missing the main point here. 

The terms of agreement under which the full rent is paid at the end of the lease are favourable not because of interest saved, but because Chris Cardona would not have been able to get those terms anywhere or from anyone else.

Nobody gives you a flat at Portomaso for a year or so and tells you &#039;imbaghad hallasni la titlaq&#039;.

It just doesn&#039;t happen. Rent is always paid on the first of the month, every month, for the month up ahead. It is never paid in arrears, not even by the month.]]></description>

Leanne, the fact that your sister is Chris Cardona&#039;s personal assistant is the main reason you shouldn&#039;t be on the internet sticking up for him and insulting the journalists who write about him (I have removed your worst insults for your own sake).

It looks really bad.

You have a vested interest in the matter or think you do, and you are doing your sister no favours at all.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Leanne, if you read my original blog-post carefully, you will see that I have known about his &#039;family problems&#039; (he doesn&#039;t have children with his second wife, so they are marital problems not family problems) for quite a while but didn&#039;t write about it because AS I SAID MYSELF IN THE BLOG-POST I didn&#039;t think them relevant or anyone&#039;s business really until I discovered that he was living in a flat lent to his FOC by his drinking-buddy at the Stable, Silvan Fenech of the Tumas Group.

And no, I was not stalking him. Going to a place where I know I am likely to find him (once) because I will not be able to get through to him on the phone is WHAT JOURNALISTS DO ALL THE TIME IN PLACES OTHER THAN MALTA.

The legal definition of stalking is repeated harassment without a legitimate objective.

Stop defending him in public, because those in the know will have their suspicions confirmed that your sister, Chris Cardona&#039;s &#039;personal assistant&#039; Dana Farrugia, really is more than that.

There were stories about her husband going to the Ministry office and making a scene which really don&#039;t bear repeating here.]]></description>
