But why are they not talking about BWSC anymore?

All this clearly shows how devious and economical with the truth PL politicians are.

This is no eureka. This is the MLP/PL as we know it.

Even more reason to chastise the cabinet for having made a hash of things.

The cabinet just provided welcome fodder for the opposition’s lying compulsion.

What a puerile error of judgment.

In reply to ASP. As distinct from his old liar friends, Robert Musumeci and Consuelo Herrera?

You cannot trust Labour as far as you can throw it. Labour MP’s are ducking and diving all over the place trying to cover up the fact that they knew of the increases all along.

“No. Who? Me? I had no idea.”

Whatever stopped these Labour guys from vehemently protesting against the increase in their salary 30 months ago?

Now because Joseph wants to give his increase to a charitable fund, because he can afford to, the rest have to doggedly follow suit whether they like it or not.

L-importanti huwa li kullħadd ibaxxi rasu għall-ambizzjoni ta’ Muscat li jsir Prim Ministru. Jekk hemm bżonn li membri parlamentari Laburisti li jħossuhom li mhux qed jitħallsu għax-xogħol li jagħmlu u probabbli ma għandhomx introjtu ieħor, ma jimpurtax. Jiehdu paċenzja, l-aqwa li Joseph għamel kapital politiku kbir min fuq darhom.

I would include Jean Pierre Farrugia to have been part of the opposition in this case. He was certainly not on the government’s side. So why did he stir up a storm only now, when the changes were common knowledge for years?

Why is it so, so unthinkable that the PN simply admits it made a mistake in the way it handled this? Is this what happens when one is used to thinking that it has some natural ascendancy over everything and everyone?

[Daphne – The prime minister did admit that this was bungled and yes, Jean Pierre’s anger was about the fact that MPs who were ministers unfairly received payment ahead of the rest. His anger was justified – I would have been angry too – but please let’s not turn this into heroism. Had Muscat received his salary increase when the ministers did (in his constitutional role as leader of the Opposition), he wouldn’t have made the fuss he is making now.]

Iz-zejt telgha f’wicc l -ilma. George Washington never told a fib; can the same be said about the Opposition protagonists?
