					<description><![CDATA[Mr Bonello - I&#039;m going to be polite here. People have every right to criticise others for their electoral choices when they have to suffer the consequences of those choices themselves, as a direct result of those who made them.

Those of us who did not vote Labour are nonetheless forced to live through this mess along with those who did.]]></description>

1. Who&#039;s Evarist? Does he have a surname?

2. You are completely wrong. Those anti-democratic despots are facing international exposure only because they have systematically ignored public pressure at home. Before the story went international, they had been insulting us with their stupid excuses about their companies in Panama and their trusts in New Zealand since 22 February, and the Prime Minister, in refusing to do anything about it, has revealed that he is involved too.

3. This is not China.

4. The only people to blame for Malta&#039;s name being dragged through the mud are Joseph Muscat, Konrad Mizzi, Keith Schembri and their colleagues in government who sit back like spineless and corrupt wet sponges and do nothing about it.

5. This used to be - briefly - a democracy. We would like it to stay that way.

					<description><![CDATA[I still cannot see the sense of rejoicing when our name is being pulled through the mud. This should be a sad situation for anyone that has a brain to think with. 

Our well-being is mainly due to the financial services and everyone eats from that plate. As Evarist said &quot; once people lose faith in us it is difficult to to regain that faith&quot; and so no matter who will be heading this land the damage will be there. Dirty linen should be washed at home&quot;. All this damage is futile, and works against all of us.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Besides the fact that I doubt you know how many people were in Mgarr yesterday (don&#039;t try, I live here), the point is that with 2 million followers, Snowden has more influence than the Labour Party ever will have. 

Oh, but wait, I&#039;m sure we can try to quantify the price of such widespread publicity, right? ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ghidlu, Rosie. I&#039;m sure Snowden has no idea what a PN mass meeting looked like in Eddie&#039;s day.

Do you think the Panama hacks will eventually lead us to the third man? Perhaps Skype can help.]]></description>
