@ Anthony …. yes i conveniently commute after about 35 years away … do u hve a problem wth that .. it’s my country of birth too bro …. do i sense a rascist remark here ? Please enlighten me .

@ La Redoute …. yes I blog in the same fashion in the UK as I am understood somewhat better at times and given respect back for my views something some people in this blog lack.

There is an undemocratic mood in here of hear what I say or yr an idiot which is sooo ugly

@ Antoine Vella … possibly and then possibly not and there’s no call to be disresctful to me about this geesa’ as i have the right for my opinion as well which incidentally is that I have understood from the start of Bondi’s wall thread (which is where all this debate started for me and through that I found myself here on this somewhat sad blog) the UK know how far they can go with this and they can only help the rebels up to the point of getting things even for them with their or rather US sophisticated weapons. The rebels have to then actually topple Ghaddafi themselves as no one has the right to full assault against another sovereign country since this sets a dangerous precedent . It is not a question of being a coward or not having balls as Ms Galizia puts it. backed by Bondi who a couple of days ago was talking of the West blasting the head of Ghaddafi out of the way with a full a la Saddam onslaught …. period,
This is a deeper situation that has serious repercussions even for Malta. We in the UK have been through this pre Iraq and I spoke like u guys then …. not now cos’ we are wiser since UK ‘n America lost respect in the world for what was a forceful enforcement of democracy. ONE CANNOT COERCE DEMOCRACY cos’ it will come back to haunt one.
Please check this out… check the lyrics on this by America’s highly rated poet Bob Dylan standard

I am not saying Ghaddaffi is ok FARRRR FROM IT ! But we have to use our head to accomplish a long term good result.
Since then both Gonzi & Muscat coolly are doin’ the right thing for all in this blog and in Malta.
THE WORD is STILL …. L O V E

@Farrugia – That was nothing more than a joke.

I was in the Gulf at the time and there was a shortage of offshore rigs. An oil executive asked me: “What’s your government up to! We contacted Agip immediately to secure the rig and their reply was that it was leased to the Maltese government for three weeks only.”

It’s not difficult to understand who was conning the Maltese public.

Woodenman? Would that be wooden brain?

What’s holding us back from severing diplomatic ties with this rogue regime?

Similarly the legitimacy of the infamous article 2 (Catholic Church and all that) should be questioned. It has come the time to have BOTH overturned and relegated to were they belong, the dustbin of history.

The point is, the UK was the prime mover behind that UN resolution. Is Jon Lukas shooting his mouth off on UK blogs too?

As soon as the colonel is removed – first things first, Mark.
