“The gift is in the pudding,” or how goes the adage…?

This is where you get both, Gerald: the serious issues and the discussions about clothes.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

I just believe that there should be more concentration on the serious issues rather than protocol slip ups or what MM is wearing. That’s all. I think you know my opinion regarding freedom of expression as a former journalist.

Indeed…because for once, it’s not Simon Busuttil to blame :)

So what, Gerald. It’s the subject matter that counts.

It doesn’t have to be the exact same painting, Gerald. And nothing that is discussed on this website is discussed to ‘bring people back’.

Back to what?

You have a very skewed notion of freedom of expression if you think it is indistinguishable from political campaigning.

And all this constant glee at protocol slipups is not winning any people back either.
