Maybe Joseph Muscat should pop out of that carnival float and tell us whether Gaddafi gave his party any money, and what he thinks about his party’s former treasurer doing this sort of work for Mutassim and Saadi Gaddafi.

I also expect hot L-Orizzont reporter John Pisani to whip up a nice investigative report about the GWU newspaper’s former columnist. While we’re at it, maybe Tony Zarb can be wound up and made to speak about the fact that he engaged the services of the Gaddafi boys’ ‘procurer’. Maybe he was hopin’ to do some smokin’ with NAlly Furtado.

Reliable sources have informed me that Air Malta employees at Tripoli airport were, in fact, evacuated by Medavia, probably at no cost. This was due to the fact that Air Malta decided to suspend its flights, for safety reasons.

“2. Rebel leaders are against ‘foreign interference’ –”

I thought the rebel leaders were primarily against Gaddafi, and Joseph would say that.

Daphne, in the four points that you summarise, I can see AST’s political hand.

Joseph ghal issa m’ghandu xejn xi jghid.

Xi tlett snin ohra ‘in hajndsajd’ jghid li jmissu qal mill-ewwel li Gaddafi kellu jirrizenja minnufieh, ir-ribelli kellhom ragun, KMB kien mignun. u Dalli zelaq wahda sew.

Why shouldn’t Malta be a military base?

Everyone is going on about neutrality but they forget that we did join a military alliance in 2004, when we joined the EU. You cannot just scoop up structural funds and opportunitajiet ghal uliedna and then opt out of the common defence policy (when, inshallah, it is put into action).

Tajjeb biss ghal xi president ta’ kazin tal-banda, fejn tipikament dan jimxi fuq qudiiem tal-marc ixejjer lin-nies u jippoppa sidru.

L-ikbar krizi li jista’ jkollok hija liema statwa se tohrog l-ewwel u liema banda se ddoq l-ahhar innu. Ma jkollux ghalfejn jattendi ikliet formali u jkun jista’ jiekol burgers u fniek kemm irid u kemm joghgbu.

Are we to understand that we should foment unrest in North Africa to keep Air Malta in business?

‘rising to the occasion’? Do I detect some doublespeak here, Daphne?

[Daphne – No. I can’t think of anything less interesting than that, given the people involved.]
