In reply to Mike Wagstaff.

You’re so right Mr Wagstaff. …but I’m afraid that this is Malta and cowboys rule. Are you aware that the Leader of the Opposition, with close to half of Malta backing his party (though not necessarily all behind him) last month declared that he is going to take class action (in itself impossible in Malta) against the government about a V.A.T. issue?

Would you believe that in the same breath he promised that should the court not decide in his favour he would actually ”change” the law? How responsible is that, and what an example to his followers about his own respect for the rule of law. By the way Mr. Wagstaff, the union in question is the one that partners the man’s very own Labour Party………so yes, where are you Mrs Thatcher?

At long last the GWU got what it deserved.

I had not long been resident here before coming to the conclusion that what Malta urgently needs is trade union reform similar to that imposed by Mrs Thatcher. At the moment trade unions, particularly the GWU, are more likely to cause the loss of jobs than save them. There is too much power in the hands of trade union leaders who often seem more preoccupied by their petty, self-serving interests than the long-term future of their members. Leaders calling for the withdrawal of labour should need the approval of their members voting in a secret ballot adjudicated by an external & independent body. That would clip a few wings and, more importantly, be a boost to the economy.

You missed a small piece of evidence of Toni Abela’s slyness. Before being elected to the presidency, George Abela was the dockers’ union’s lawyer. Toni Abela therefore seems to be trying to embarrass the president – typical of New Labour’s new style.

Well put. Mr. Abela, in concert with his comrades, only open their mouths to change feet.

“….calling on the president to intervene because the president is a principled man who believes in workers’ rights and democracy….”

The PL has never believed in workers’ rights and democracy. Workers’ rights and democracy have been the hallmark of most principled men and women and the PN and these last two decades. Which kind of leaves the PL out on a limb really….

As for the president intervening – on what basis should the president intervene? Maybe now the PL think that since one of theirs is occupying the highest constitutional position that they can re-shape it to wield the dictatorial power they so crave. Viva id-demokrazija – PL style!

Oh I forgot the Labour Party thinks it is above the law. And people still vote for it. Where is Joseph Muscat, or was he temporarily replaced by Toni because he was whipped into eating Big Macs with his family?

Q: “What’s Left?”…A: 9 days to a Pulitzer Prize for MaltaStar

(pronounced “PULL-it-sir”)…

…“PULL-it-Sir”…is the way… “Jisimni Toni u kunjomi Abela”…is reported as acting towards President George Abela.

…but does Joseph Muscat…the middle hand… know that his “Left hand” doesn’t know what the “Right hand” is doing?

A member of the present triumvirate is expecting support from a former member of a former triumvirate.

Triumvirate…3 pairs of hands?…izda mhux sodi!
