Comments on: Comment of the day https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/10/comment-of-the-day-9/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta. Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:51:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Jake https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/10/comment-of-the-day-9/#comment-96448 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:51:15 +0000 http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/?p=13547#comment-96448 Stefan, I do not believe that the Euro and the Lira are the same or that they have the same implications but if you are following the current crises in Europe you would know that the measures that are being taken are at best a short term solution and that most probably more and more funds will be required.

To date they have already allocated about 150 Billion Euros to Greece and if you consider Malta’s size 700 Million Euros is a very significant amount and there is no harm in making sure that these are being used properly.

Who said that I’m comparing the Euro with the Lira what makes you think that everyone is so stupid? Most probably you are the ignorant here because you don’t know what you are talking about and you do not want to know.

Joseph and his musical chairs financial spokesmen didn’t bat an eyelid.

Two wrongs doesn’t make a right, you know…

Naive little Joey f**ked up again. He unknowingly unleashed the anti-EU idiot. Stupidity personified.

The commitment was definitively not discussed and explained properly. However Alfred Sant’s actions resemble legalistic nitpicking, if not an attempt to seek media attention at a possible (albeit, thankfully, remote) horrible political and economic cost.

Allow me a wild guess. You believe the the Euro is just another currency similar to the old Lira with equivalent global implications.

Yes, seriously. If JPO’s libel case against Alfred Sant is lost, then Alfred Sant will be more credible than JPO.
So far, we’ve all heard how credible JPO was in court yesterday in the other case, Richard Cachia Caruana vs. Saviour Balzan.
We also know how credible JPO was in 2008, when Saviour Balzan’s paper told JPO “You’re unbelievable.”

Sorry but I’m fussy about that crap, no matter who it is.

Looking forward ‘for’ instead of ‘to’. Advice instead of advise. Loose the election rather that lose it.

Just yesterday I saw ‘tit-a-tat’ for tete-a-tete (no accents as I’m using my phone, sorry) for Clapton’s sake! I could go on. And on, and on, and on, and……

This reader wants to remind us that even though Sant lasted two years as PM, he “ruled” the country fairly. King Alfred anyone?

It was to be expected for the PN’s apologists to swoop in droves and adulate whatever GonziPN does by mentioning ancient history.

What they conveniently try to forget is the fact that Labour was in government in more recent time (albeit for a short time) in 1996 and Dr Sant ruled in a very fair manner.

Would anyone just sign an agreement to give 700 Million Euros just like that without checking the implications?

What is amazing it’s not that you find people that speak positively of Alfred Sant but that there are so “many” people that would agree to such a commitment without questioning. It’s really a pity that so many people are so politically blind that you would accept anything as long as it is their party that is doing it.

Unbelievable.
