This newsletter is a highly technical analysis of the budget and a truly inspirational way of educating the electorate.

The harsh reality is that when you ask L-orizzont readers what ‘Prodott Gross Domestiku’ is, they stare back at you, even though they have just been reading about it.

Indeed their Leader doesn’t help much either. Here’s his way of saying that this budget is good as it will be giving the people a lot:

“Se nżommu lill-Prim Ministru u lill-Ministru tal-Finanzi responsabbli tal-kalkoli li qegħdin jagħmlu u nittamaw li meta niġu biex nagħmlu l-kontijiet ma nsibux li rridu niddejnu aktar,” qal Muscat.

Not very clever, especially when considering that this is our future prime minister.

In reply to Joseph Agius. That's a minor mistake. They meant 'Laghqa'

In reply to Joseph Agius. If only they had any, I'd have fewer nightmares!

I was watching a press conference headed by Karmenu Vella. All the speakers’ name-cards had one word – ‘Ghaqal’ – printed on them. Is everyone in Labour called ‘ghaqal’ now? It looked so stupid.

This is extremely embarrassing! Shouldn’t every site have an editor and a fact checker?

I particularly enjoyed……’an election is coming up in the next year and a half OR SOONER…….’

Sooner than ‘in the next year an a half’ would mean in the past! Before, well……NOW!

My God I do believe il-Guy may have invented time travel. So THAT’S what he’s been up to when we thought he was working on PLMLP election policies!

In reply to Robert Caruana. I like the !!!!!!!!!!!! It makes a certainty out of the initial suspicion that this is an advert for what is a below-par product.

Maltastar’s report seems to be one sentence short. I wonder why?

A reporter worth his salt would have at least given us an indication of what his favourite Party’s policies would have been under the circumstances.

He couldn’t because it hasn’t and it won’t.
