					<description><![CDATA[John Dalli is reported to have said that it was worrying that the rebels entered Tripoli so easily. He claimed to be worried it might be a trap.

My impression is that what was worrying Dalli was the rebels&#039; advance and not a possible trap.

It might perhaps be unfair of me, but I got the impression that Dalli was actually hoping it might have been a trap and that Gaddafi might have somehow made a come-back and emerged gloriously triumphant.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, he is being consistent.

When queried about his choice of staff for his four-year sentence in Brussels, he retorted that it was none of our business.

Now that his investment consultancy services in Libya (a place where minister&#039;s cuts were minuted during business meetings) is running out of contacts, he feels it&#039;s no longer any of his own business, either.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh poor poor Dalli sitting in Gozo with no internet or television and trying to figure out how to salvage his (daughters&#039;) business in Libya.

Please give the poor man a break; he has to think how he can get his (daughters&#039;) money back now that Gaddafi has gone.

But at least there is a silver lining in the clouds as he has said “We need to make our voice heard and be relevant in policymaking.”

That’s a brilliant idea! Now he has made sure that his daughters are going to keep their business, he can help (himself) his daughters to build new Libyan businesses too.

He’s so clever that I think this calls for multiple exclamation marks !!! !!! !!! - the chav sign of cool liberalism.

Do you think the elves will understand that I’m being sarcastic, Daphne?

This windbag is getting beyond a joke. He’s about to get one of the highest pensions ever paid to a Maltese person, thanks to the prime minister he repeatedly and spitefully tries to undermine out of resentment and jealousy.

And he has the cheek to say NOW that we should be actors not spectators - now that it&#039;s almost over -  and in another breath he says “To comment I need to know the facts and I don’t yet know exactly what is happening”.

This is the man who wanted to be PM and he has no idea what is going on in the world because he’s on holiday.

Dalli, if you so badly want to be prime minister, then I have some smart advice for you: challenge Joseph Muscat and make yourself Labour leader. The sad thing is, you&#039;ll probably win, because Labour has such low standards and a very, very big skip.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On holiday in Gozo?  For f*ck&#039;s sake, surely he can pack up and hop over to Malta to &quot;keep abreast&quot;, or - at worst - hop into some internet cafe if he has no other access to internet?
