Now the Auditor General’s comments start to make sense: he said he found smoke not fire. That is what he was always meant to find because that was all that was generated by Labour.

What amazes and concerns me is that people like the Auditor General still try to hedge their bets with juicy quotes such as the one that he was not given the tools to investigate corruption but found nothing to give to the police. Does anyone in this benighted island have a concept of remits?

You misspelt “uffiċċju”. Was it so difficult to use copy and paste?

In reply to Fairy Liquid.

The funny thing is that Capital Letters in the middle of a sentence are kind-of expected when they appear in certain areas of the media.

I find it more shocking that the circulars issued by the principal at my son’s school are riddled with such Capital Letters where they should not be.

On a lighter note – a circular recently issued by the same school contained a reference to “the backside” of a paper rather than the reverse…

With examples like those, there isn’t much hope, is there?

Jiena li niskanta hu li l-politici tal-Partit Laburista ma jimpurtax jekk jaghjjru u jaghtu titli lil ministri u membri ohra mill-gvern.

Imbaghad jekk kumbinazzjoni jkun hemm xi hadd milli jcempel lil Manwel Cuschieri u kumbinazzjoni jghid xi kelma mhux f’lokha jaqtalu biex taparsi ara kemm ahna serji u “puliti”.

Ma jafux li bi kliemhom Muscat u l-bella kumpanija flok qeghdin jedukaw il-hafna supporters ta’ livell ta’ ntelligenza u edukazzjoni baxx qeghdin aktar igghaluhom isiru injuranti.

Did no-one spot “ufficju tal-kommunkazzjoni”?

[Daphne – And Media Releae. That’s a typo. ‘Kommunkazzjoni’ reflects the way the peasant who wrote it speaks.]

Labour has made a great fuss out of an email which stated that its sender, an agent of BWSC, had contacts in high places. I think it could have been the usual bluff. Yet, I believe that email was investigated by the Auditor General.
Now what does Labour know and think about this? Will they send this to the Auditor General for investigation?

“According to UPS some companies understand corruption as the “culture of the country”. “Engineering firm Bateman Litwin prides itself on understanding the local culture of its project sites and “knowing who to talk to”. A representative
of the company admits that he doesn’t “know what happens behind the scenes [about corruption], I don’t think it’s our business.”

Daphne concentrate on John Dalli. He resembles Cetta ghand tal-grocer. Do you recall that the contest for the Leadership of
the Nationalist Party was a “tigrija bejn il-hbieb”. It is evident that their friendship has withered away, if ever it existed.

“Jekk il-Partit Nazzjonalista jrid ikun jaf aktar, kull ma ghandu jaghmel huwa li jistenna ftit iehor.”

Translated: at the moment we have no answer – but we will think of something in due course.
