And right on cue, ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful tightrope walking act from Malta:

Phew! Thanks, Baxxter. By your definition, I am not a hamallu. I may be one of those who “ghandu dritt ghall-opinjoni” and am “unable to distinguish between fact and opinion” but I definitely earn far LESS than I am worth.

Baxxter, don’t you think it is a bit dangerous to ask George Pullicino to throw his weight around?

There’s George Pullicino too. But he’s been saddled with a ministry covering a vast range of insoluble issues. He deserves to be promoted further up the chain, and he needs to start speaking out on issues outside his brief. It may not be correct procedure, but the likes of Edwin Vassallo need to be challenged.

“Hamallu” = someone without a shred of self-doubt, because “ghandu dritt ghall-opinjoni”, who is unable to distinguish between fact and opinion, and who earns far more than they’re worth.

Mr Vella
The govrnment was suppose to represent all MALTESE, so your urge is only for yourself.
Being scared to stand up as MALTA Prime minister and not cameron / sarkozy / EU puppet
it is now in the affirmative to loose office and whatever respect he achieved during career.
Regime will survive and MALTA will again gain our friendship with

Don’t worry if Gaddafi sends some 2000 immigrants as his vendetta there’s always the EU who will take us 10

What about the embassy?

Anyone know?

However, Gonzi has failed to show any leadership. He should have declared at once that he will do his duty as a representative of the Maltese people by voting in favour of the divorce bill.

This has led to this pathetic situation whereby no PN MP wants to be seen to categorically saying they will vote in favour, ignoring all that PN stood for in the 80s.

I’m not a fan of Pullicino Orlando, but quite frankly I think that its time for him to go nuclear at this stage. I doubt whether the PN executive will approve him as a candidate for the next general election so he should call Gonzi’s bluff and challenge him to use the whip to force all PN MPs to vote in favour of democracy and respect the people’s will.

If Gonzi fails to do so he should threaten to resign from the Nationalist Party while maintaining his parliamentary seat.

The Libyan embassy in Balzan no longer has a role here as it represents Muammar Gaddafi.
