During the European Parliament election campaign last year I was taken to task by journalist Julia Farrugia for sending unsolicited e-mails. I apologised for the action, which was attributable to a lack of campaign funds.

Last week, I was surprised to receive the first edition of the electronic version of the Labour Party's newsletter, even though I never expressed any desire to receive such material.

Since this leads me to label such material as unsolicited, and since we are speaking of political parties here and not of individual candidates (hence, lack of funds is probably not such an issue), I urge Ms Farrugia, for consistency's sake, to treat this case in the same way she treated mine, possibly on her One TV programme Wiċċ Imb'Wiċċ. Only time will tell if the same measure is applied to the same type of offence.
