“At least they will agree that John Dalli, Malta’s European commissioner, does not speak for the EU on Libya.”

He does not speak for Malta either.

John Dalli forfeited his chances of being paroled by getting into more trouble while serving his ‘sentence’. Let him serve the whole term.

The PN and PM disassociated themselves from John Dalli the moment he was appointed EU Commissioner.

It is John Dalli who will not let go and enjoy the prison generous allowances but still hopes that one day, in his old(er) age he may become leader of the NP and eventually PM.

Unfortunately for all of us, we cannot arrest the march of time and by the time Dalli’s sentence is over, he will be regarded as too old to bring in some fresh ideas. He will become a Nationalist version of a Labour Party Karmenu Vella.

John Dalli had a chance to retire as a respected politician. Instead he lost it quite some time ago and it is now nearly impossible for him to regain the respect he had earned many years ago.

Was it said before 1200hrs or after? It might be relevant.

Libyan dinars are green too.

In fact, since he considers his EU commissioner’s job a “prison sentence”, maybe he should be paroled and released from prison without serving the full sentence.

“Mr Dalli added, “Malta had served as a gateway between Libya and the outside world during the days of international sanctions. Now that the sanctions have been lifted, it is a pity that, with the country on the verge of an economic explosion, that Malta no longer has the same relationship it once had with Libya.

It seems that we are now experiencing a detachment as though EU membership has alienated us from what is destined to become the ‘Dubai of the Mediterranean’.”

“In a rich country like Libya, people’s aspirations are growing. They want to live a normal life.”

Now he wants Libyans to stay put and let Gaddafi and his family control their lives for many more years to come.

These sick allegations are made by an EU commissioner who might have been our prime minister had not the Nationalist councillors sussed him out.
