Dwar Tonio Fenech…ma nixtieqx naqbez ghalih partikolarment pero, ftit rizultati:

1. Finanzi. Is-sena l-ohra l-unika pajjiz (ahna u l-Estonja proprja) li naqqasna d-deficit u gimghatejn ilu l-Kummissjoni tfahhar lil Malta f’dan is-sens.

2. Ekonomija. Numru ta’ rapporti (IMF fuq quddiem izda anke UE) tghid li Malta fost l-ahhar li dahlet fir-ricessjoni u fost l-ewwel li harget.

3. Xoghol: fost l-aktar rati baxxi tal-UE.

4. Kompetittivita: ikteb google bloomberg malta germany only two countries to improve competitiveness u ssir taf aktar.

Li Tonio huwa unpolished f’certu kummenti tieghu naqbel – imma fir-realta he’s turning out to be wiehed mill-aqwa ministri li qatt kellu l-pajjiz fil finanzi.

Don’t worry. I’ll be 23 when the next election comes and I will vote PN without any doubt in my mind.

Ghandek ragun. Meta s-Sea Malta mlijha bl-aristokrazija tal-canvassers/konstitwenti tieghu, it-tip tal Hatambu u il-Midghi li hadd ma kien jazzarda jkellimhom, hu kien.

Read Lino Spiteri’s opinion pieces in The Times: am I right in thinking that he considers what’s happening in Egypt and the other Maghreb countries should also happen in Malta?

Sometimes his writing and double negatives are so convoluted that you get the impression that he wishes the Maltese proletariat – so Marxian – would break its chains and assault the Bastille; a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Well, it cannot be any other way – agreed.

However it is a drawback that people who would actually believe we were better before 1987 to today, who would have denied their own children their future, who honestly believe, like ‘dear leader’, that Labour is responsible for today’s education and employment opportunities, who would have voted for ‘PARTNERXIP’ without having the slightest clue as to what it was about (they couldn’t have known, Sant himself didn’t have a clue) and who actually believed the ‘no’ side won the referendum have an equal say.

I wouldn’t have it any other way, either. You can’t have it any other way; however, it is a drawback.

L-istess nies qedin hemm hux?

He gives him some medicine, but more importantly he tells the patient to take better care of himself and live a healthy lifestyle. To turn his life around.

The patient slowly gets better. He suddenly feels that he is cured. He starts taking for granted the doctor’s advice.

Out of the window goes his vigilance, healthy lifestyle is ignored as he really feels good about himself. He is unaware of the virus lurking underneath waiting to pounce. This time round there is no cure, it is too late.

I wonder, could we as a nation be Patient A?

Riya, ghalfejn tiskuzah lil Lino Spiteri?

Mhux maghhom kien fil-gvern ta’ Mintoff?

Kolletivament, ghandu responsabbilta’ wkoll. Telaq minn ma’ Alfred Sant mhux ghax harqitu qalbu ghalina, imma ghax kien jahdem minn wara daru u sar jaf bis-CET waqt li kien jiekol f’restaurant.

Issa jista’ jikteb u jghid li jrid imma f’dawk iz-zmienijiet koroh hemm kien u ma harigx fil-pubbliku jghid li ma jaqbilx.

Facli tigi issa u tghid li ma kontx taqbel u tkellimt fil-Kabinet biex tipprova tirrijabilita ruhek.

Meta kien ministru hu u shabu tghidx kemm kellna mohh niktbu poeziji fuq uliedna u wliedhom. Hawn min joghgbuh l-analizi li jaghmel imma jien niftakar sewwa x’kien jikteb fuq Eddie fenech Adami.

Xejn ma kien joghgbu milli jaghmel u ahna nafu x’rizultati kiseb Eddie. Gieli kien tant ikun iebes fi kliemu li ma kontx nibqa’ naqra.

Il-verita’ hi li hawn nghatu cans lill-politici jitwieldu mill-gdid. Kieku ma kienx hekk, nies bhal Evarist Bartolo li kien membru tal-Partit Kommunista Malti, issa jilghaba tal-moderat u progressiv? Jien nemmen li t-twemmin li kellu fil-qiegh ta’ qalbu tletin sena ilu, hemm ghadu.

For instant the deals with his Libyan counterpart in the textile Industry.

If you hesitate to ask him, you have another option, go to Republic Street, perhaps you can hear something while you are shopping.
