Astrid Vella publicly claimed that on the Bondiplus (March 15) dealing with the Piano proposal for the opera house site I "rushed" Kenneth Zammit Tabona, who was a guest, that I gave tenor Joseph Calleja "so little time" and that "Richard England was not on the show when Lou announced (sic) his participation days ago".

The facts are these. First, I gave Mr Zammit Tabona more airtime than any of the other guests on the panel. Second, Mr Calleja's was the longest clip aired on the programme.

Third, I never announced that Mr England was going to be on the programme.

Out of three assertions, Ms Vella got three wrong. Good going.
