What’s so tedious about the issues he mentions?

Alex: Who says no one took any notice of Kevin Ellul Bonici’s comments? He alternates between being long winded and snappy. In either case, maybe everyone finds him too tedious for words. You see, not even you had much to say about his posts except to comment on everyone’s non-reaction.

Funny how no one took any notice of Kev’s comment. Perhaps its a bit over your heads? Perhaps since BBC, CNN and the rest don’t mention the issues Kev brings up, they don’t exist?

Stanley Cassar Darien: It isn’t ironic. They really think he’s in the same league.

whilst his predecessor thought he was a Maltese version of Tony Blair.

ok guess that I did not make myself clear. I was not having a go at the host. If I addressed her, I would have used her name. I respect and admire her enough to be polite on her site. I was referring to the little puppets from both the PN and MLP that are using this moment to spread their little agendas. I found that very ironic, personally. I also find it ironic that some Labour supporters are trying to compare JM with Obama….che centra?

I was writing about this moment being one of unity, and how Obama’s spirit seems to have united so many people, all over the world. Sometimes, it’s all about timing.

Stanley Cassar Darien
“. . . . willing to give the man a chance, first to turn his party around, and then to come up with policies that convince me that he is the better man for Malta . . .”

Nobody is stopping Joseph Muscat – he has all the chances in the world but you have to admit that, up to now, he hasn’t provided much cause for hope that something is changing. Even the promised earthquake turned out to be less than a hiccup.

To give an example, Joseph Muscat stubbornly refuses to admit any wrong-doing by the MLP in the past and has no intention of rectifying injustices which still exist, such as the requisitioned houses used as party clubs.

Although Muscat does not have experience as an MP and party leader he is not as ‘new’ as Obama. Don’t forget that he has a history of unwise (to say the least) political stands such as his long campaign against EU membership. Incidentally, he also libelled Daphne and, as far as I know, has never apologised publicly for it. That too is part of Muscat’s CV.

Are you suggesting that we should erase all this from our memories and pretend we had never heard of Joseph Muscat before last June?

Obama is new but mature. Muscat is immature but not new. That is why someone who admires the former cannot admire the latter.

Settle down, Martin. And the United States of America should be grateful they had the great and courageous Maltese sailors of Toulon squadron what….

I never mentioned labels actually, and I never actually said that JM had anything to do with Obama, I have no idea where you got that from……

It’s ironic for other reasons, and I’m afraid that in this case, it’s you that just can’t get it.
