Am I onto a scoop? I was happily surprised to discover that a new pro-life publication is to be issued in Malta and in its first issue there will be an interview with the President of the Republic of Malta which is to be conducted during this week.

I am sure that such a publication would be a focal point for all those who hold life dear from the moment of conception until natural death. Personally I think the Republic of France, and other Republics should not only be concerned about possible downgrades by the economy ratings agency but more so about the creeping culture of death which is showing its ugly face through a modern massacre. In fact, according to one statistic, 96 % of pre-natal babies in France which are diagnosed as having a disability are aborted. No number of medals awarded for whatever high service accorded by this or other Republics could be deemed to offset this condemnable practice.

And I would like to add that those blatantly using local public broadcasting to bloat up French sentiment at the expense of the British (who despite their shortcomings left us such an envious legacy), should be ashamed of themselves.
