What about Joseph Cuschieri whining about ‘his’ seat?

Way back in 2009 during the EP election campaign, Joseph Cuschieri claimed: “He is currently reading for an LL.M. degree in European Union Law with the University of London”.

That’s rich. Perhaps we could have some updates on how that’s going.

In reply to Robbie Moosey. Perhaps that's who Michael Falzon meant when he mentioned decadence.

Josè Herrera some months ago at the Casino Maltese was overheard hectoring some minion on the possible partition of Libya into Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, as if it the idea were his own. I wondered why NATO didn’t take him on as a consultant.

He thinks he has some kind of divine right to be Minister of Justice.

I find absolutely no reason to disagree with Alfred Sant’s decision to sideline him, though it was under Sant that his sister was made a magistrate.

Herrera began to ingratiate himself with Muscat before Sant was out of the way. He has continued to do this, and he clearly has the cooperation of his sister, on whose guest list the Muscats so often are.

Joseph Muscat should perhaps follow in the steps of his former master and keep him at arm’s length.

Dr. Herrera parks his car regularly on a double yellow line a few meters away from his house in Lija. I wonder what additional privileges he will expect when he is sworn in as Justice Minister in 18 months.

Personally I would not trust a ‘Minister of Justice’ who wears blue Oakley sport sunglasses.

The PN has a rising star competing with Dr Jose’ A Herrera .
I cannot see Dr Franco Debono as Minister for Justice.

I got a view of those brown leather hotpants at an auction once.

I can assure you it’s an intimidating sight, especially from the back rows.

When will someone remind people of the Mintoff golden era when the constitutional courts were closed for three whole years? Was that done on Gheddafi advice?
