I will not call Joseph A Borg &quot;stupid&quot; but just miskin! He must not have been around when we had to go to Sicily to by a bar of Mars.

I&#039;m astounded by how many anti-socialists we have on these blessed islands, when the PN has been successful because it has used socialist ideals where it was convenient.

Strict adherence to ideologies no matter what is dangerous.]]></description>

That&#039;s why the British electorate booted him quickly after the war and installed a Labour government.

He proved himself to be a good war prime minister and that&#039;s it.]]></description>

I actually beg to differ.  Democracy is a game.  Games normally have their rules, and above all, fairness is one of the rules of games.  Referree (in this case, read the Speaker) decisions should not be contested.

That said, we&#039;ve had enough of Joseph Muscat&#039;s games, and his behaviour is giving his game away.]]></description>

Two things Jake, first thing is that if the fly ash is caught by the precipitators it would not end up in our lungs, and secondly the wind mainly blows towards the sea at Delimara so my conclusion is that this is going to end up like the Mater Dei project ...... the PL when in power will double it. I believe that commissions are the key to all this drama.]]></description>

Look, at least it is clear that Marisa was not behind the engineering of that phrase &quot;“..an ordinary Maltese person would need to save for 300 years to acquire the equivalent of the commission that somebody is getting on the power station contract.”

She would have said &quot;..an ordinary Maltese person would need to save for 100 years to acquire the equivalent of Euro 4 million commission that somebody is getting on the power station contract as claimed by Labour.&quot;

Or else, she does not consider her salary as that of a normal person.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every time there is an issue Joseph Muscat stirs up his people in the hope that this time the PL will topple the government.

It is not fair that he is misleading his supporters in this manner making them believe that at any time time the government will fall.    Read the message boards on timesofmalta.com - they make me sick. The majority of those posting comments just talk through their hat.   Sorry guys and dolls, PN are here to stay for another three years and accept that once and for all.

This is a democratic country or have you not noticed yet?   Now the deputy speaker is to resign and the PL will not participate in the parliamentary committees.   What twerps they all are.]]></description>
