In reply to Sharone mhux Sharon. Are you sure about that? I thought that most of them could be thought of as opportunists at best.

The caption below your picture might be misleading – In 2009 the MLP celebrated the 40th anniversary of their cooperation with Gaddafi (after the coup d’etat) rather than with Libya – in order to distinguish between the state and its people versus the regime.

Red nose,

From past posts I am under the impression that you are a senior citizen. If this is fact then I would be even more amazed at your comment. Without being patronising I invite you to rethink your assesment of Commissioner Dalli.

Before the leadership race you evaluated Dalli on his merits as an exchequer and as a ‘nazzjonalist jirsisti’.

We all know what happened when his leadership ambitions did not materialise. There are many facets to this guy – PN minister, economist, accountant, businessman, father etc.

When he lost out and was appointed EU Commissioner he obtained yet another Dalli-shaping facet.

To vent his ‘vindication’ he started to court and mix with the opposition – literally.

Also, do not forget the kind of baggage the guy has been carrying for years. Top all this with a parochial mentality and voila – he stoops to below redemption.

I think that he needs to take serious stock of his own situation and act accordingly. God knows he is sly enough to do it.

In reply to Anthony.

“I do not usually associate John Dalli with hysterical outbursts”.

He may have shared a cup of coffee with Gaddafi.

He clearly is not fit for the job.

A Dalli spokesman told this website that he had not seen the Friday morning quotes, but that anything Mr Dalli might have told local press in Malta is not necessarily his official view as an EU commissioner.

John Dalli must be a closet Labourite.

In reply to maryanne.

Has not John Dalli got close business ties with Libyans – ahem – through his daughter? How does he feel insulting them that way. Shame on him.
