Loser?  Why so?

This is a question about accountability of the bureaucrats in Brussels - the ones you caution us about.

How do you mean your trips are not subsidised if Airmalta is incurring losses which are being paid for by taxes in Malta?

Underaged?  Hardly so if you call me ciccio1910.]]></description>

Kev, contrary to what you say they are still theories and it is going to take some time before any are confirmed.

On the other hand one undisputable fact is that following the debacle, Iceland are pressing to join the EU and the EURO. There only &quot;huge&quot; difficulty is that the amount of cash they require to cover the mess caused by their own previous mistaken decisions (the EU is one of them - putting most of their eggs in the EU/EURO cold UK basket another) is going to make membership very difficult particularly now that the larger countries are not prepared to shoulder the burdens of short-sighted decisions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;What the hell is this man doing with an EU flag behind him when he worked so hard to keep us out. Or is this part of revisiting Labour&#039;s history?&quot;

Several things, actually.  First of all, he is telling us how unsuccessful he is at campaigning an issue he is passionate about.  Secondly he is indicating how inconsistent he is about things that matter.  He is also emphasising what a poor visionary he is and what a brass-faced hypocrite he is to boot.

But most of all he is advising us not to trust him with our livelihood and peace of mind.  If he got it so wrong on this issue, how will he ever get anything else right.  Five years of U-turns, second thoughts, recycling of discarded ideas, undertaking half-baked projects and trying to please all and sundry would see Malta in financial ruin within a couple of years.]]></description>
