Sabih ikollok hafna hin f’idejk tiggudika in-nies. Sabih ikollok ‘attitudni tal-gallarija’ tghajjar u tmaqdar u minghalik li kulhad jarak sabiha. Sabih kieku thares harsa fil-mera u tiggudika lilek innifsek l-ewwel u qabel kollox.

Opinjoni tieghi hi li minghalik li tifhem f’kollox mentri hlief argumenti bazwin, bla bazi u ma jregux ma semmejtx. Trid tara l-affarijiet fil-kuntest li qedghin fih mhux iddawwar il-fatti ghal vizjoni tieghek.

Nispera li titghallem mil-izbalji tieghek.

[Daphne – As I said with reference to Kevin, the prime minister’s actions have served only to earn him the support of those with a wretched ‘Labour’ mentality, and the severe disappointment of almost everyone else who voted for him.]

In reply to Neutral. Oh, come on, Neutral! You sound like one of those classroom suckers who would never dare challenge a teacher, even if they knew him to be 100% in the wrong.

In reply to La Redoute. La Redoute, I will leave that rebuttal for the PM to make, instead of taking another call from Libya.

“The ousting of Gaddafi is not being done solely and mainly for our interests.”

Seeing as we don’t live in Libya, that is perfectly true, but Malta certainly has an interest not only in seeing him overthrown once and for all, but actively working to make that happen.

In reply to La Redoute. I note that your lengthy response does not rebut the claim that Malta remains a vassal state of Gaddafi.

In reply to Jellybaby. I would rather see Gaddafi being meted out the same treatment given to those who oppose him. Incidentally, having him blown up is no solution either, because one can then never be truly sure that he was really blown up.

In reply to Min Weber.

Regarding your “give rise to suspicion” comment – That was my immediate reaction. I automatically assumed that Libya-Malta hotline made some threats, to which some eggless-wonder immediately succumbed.

In reply to pip.

The government of Malta denies that it was contacted by the Libyan authorities to ‘enforce’ the ceasefire because it would confirm that Malta is sympathetic to Libya. Just like China and Turkey.

Libya rightly judges that the Maltese are too scared to tell the truth when it is not in Gaddafi’s favour. They know that our politician are a bunch of f**king cowards. Shame on them. I just heard Tonio Borg defending the ‘Malta will not be used as a military base’ twaddle on Sky News and it was cringeworthy. Kick the bastard Gaddafi and be proud that the Maltese were party to getting rid of him.

In reply to A. Charles. If you want to be involved so much then sod off to Libya.
