We Are Family, bishops of Malta

In a statement yesterday, the representatives of the Church in Malta, Pawlu Cremona and Mario Grech said voters should choose candidates who supported families based on marriage between men and women.



Read my lips Mr and Mr Bishop - We Are Family too.

I, in turn, encourage you to choose candidates who support a clear separation of church and state.

Parallel worlds

The UK is in the midst of a credit crunch - the real crisis. The British press, the government, the opposition and a good part of the population decide the real National issue is the expenses scandal that has hit the major political parties.

The island of Malta faces the same global crunch. All (yes, all) aspiring MEPs, encouraged by an increasingly xenophobic and paranoid population, decide the major issue facing Malta is irregular immigration.
