					<description><![CDATA[There were no circles in Sliema. There were just people on one side of Dingli Street, people on the other side of Dingli Street, and the Lazy Corner. And nobody spoke like that.

How they speak now is irrelevant. Buying a flat in Sliema 10 years ago and going to live there does not make you a Sliema person. Sliema people are those who were born and raised there between 1900 and 1990.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There will be so many lessons learnt after this interlude. I insist the question revolves around that outfit calling itself the Labour Party. 

Reason tells me there is something fundamentally wrong and destructive in the absolute sense of both words. 

And yes, the challenge has to include why this place cannot achieve the benefit of alternation in polity. 

When most columns elsewhere indicate proximity to a nervous breakdown or incredulity to how it had to come to this, perhaps we better face what Muscat sold us. 

He sold us a delusion of ourselves and is now blackmailing us with a loss impossible to bear. Not to mention the unspoken code of pride, which he&#039;s turning into superbia. 

There are some very deep chords he plays, sinister in intent and callously sadistic. He does reflect our dark side, and that should be lesson one.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;We wouldn&#039;t be in this mess&quot;. 

What mess is she talking about? Before the 2013 elections the whole world was in crisis but in Malta the economy was strong and we had a very low unemployment rate. 

Many countries such as Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland faced huge problems and were on their knees but Malta sailed easily through the rough waters. 

NOW we are in a huge mess thanks to the corrupt Joseph Muscat. And if Labour is re-elected the mess will become bigger and bigger. ]]></description>
