We&#039;re of one mind on that. The PM&#039;s family business has the potential to make a fortune and a half supplying all the material needed for the production of a couple of noisy &quot;sparklers&quot; each that so many people out there need stuck up their rear end.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ridiculous or not, that&#039;s what free speech and freedom of thought and expression are all about.  We read Trump jokes, Irish jokes, Pope jokes, Jew jokes, &#039;how many Maltese does it take to change a light bulb&#039; type of jokes and Gozo jokes too. What&#039;s wrong with taking a dig at our village president?]]></description>

Then define &quot;published&quot;. Daphne send an article, by email,  to some bloke living, say, in Australia. The bloke has administrator access to her website. He uploads the article while sitting in his back yard in Sydney. 

Was it edited it Malta?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;edited in Malta&quot; simply means published by anyone while in Malta. If you think that can&#039;t be enforced, you&#039;re sorely mistaken. All they need to prove that is to establish that the person involved was in Malta when the comment in question was uploaded (and the upload time is obtained from the website logs).

There are simple means to go around that, of course, which will make it more difficult for the Nazis to trace the true source of a comment, but it&#039;s not impossible.]]></description>
