  Strands

I appreciate their admiration of Malta and the Maltese, but don't you find this compliment annoyingly patronising??
 
Why not the Victoria Cross? And why should courage be measured with the medals given by a monarchy??
 
Fair enough, Zemp. As the British like to say, they're just being nice, after all.

But the implications of such a compliment -albiet unwitting- reveal certain facts which I believe do need to be questioned, rather than being accepted qisu xejn mhu xejn.
