Well, if you don’t want to part with six Euros – and I guess you wouldn’t, having mocked the rest of your countrymen for ‘paying’ – then you could always eat your words.

I just hopped over and sadly the Malta Week food & drink spree is not totally free. You pay €6 for a 15 cm ‘Maltese platter’. But it’s not entirely a rip-off. The platter is a ceramic Malta souvenier which you can keep and so are the wine glasses (also at €6). And if you’re not into platters, you can still get a few snacks for free. The highlight is tomorrow’s dibattitu politiku taht it-tinda. Edward Scicluna is chairing while Commissioner Barnier crosses swords with finance minister Tonio Fenech on ‘Europe’s new financial supervision package’. I can’t wait.

@Kev

“Yes, I should. It wouldn’t be confidential, would it?”

Do you mean to say what Labour want for this little rock of ours is top secret?

That really explains Labour voters doesn’t it!

I think Maltastar may be interested in seeing your CV.

@ nobody – And you are…? Please give us your name, otherwise you’ll be considered as just another nobody.

So even though Maltese political issues are a universe removed from those in Europe, they still think the same language can be applied to both contexts.

Presumably, this is in part a legacy of Joseph Muscat’s stint in the European Parliament, brushing shoulders with political hacks in Strasbourg. Putting him in charge of a party, never mind the country, is akin to handing lookout duties to somebody that doesn’t know which end of a telescope you’re supposed to look into.

I read the bit about defamation in today’s The Times. I should think tha it is clutching at straws for survival! (Al buon intenditor, poche parole)
