In reply to john.

Darn it! You just nailed it.

Joseph, on second thoughts, does not walk – he shuffles.

It should make more than just you a wee bit apprehensive about his gait.

In reply to silvio. With friends like Franco, who needs enemies? I bet anything we are in for another show during the Budget debate, when it comes to the vote for the Ministry for Justice, and most probably also during the debate of the Ministry for Education (responsible for PBS).

No amount of spinning neither of trying to ridicule will change the end result.

I followed the parliamentary discussion last Friday. It was something that caused me great dipleasure to watch the government side, as they were all really proccupied.

You could tell by their speeches, which were nothing but pleas. You could tell that the Arriva debate seemed more like a Partenza. They sounded like they were telling us goodbye.

We should all accept that Friday’s vote was just a reprieve; there is more to come.

We must not delude ourselves and think that the government side won, because no it did not. It lost and if any proof was needed that the government is hanging by its nails, this was it.

I consider it as useless to keep on hanging there, not knowing when the final blow is about to come.

It is more difficult and dangerous to watch your back than face your enemy.

As we say in Maltese, Muscat intends to wait until “il-bajtra taqa’ f’halqu” little caring about the possibility of the sting of a bee hiding inside the ripe fig.

In reply to Brian*14. Premature? Surely his handling of the Libya business is more a case of delayed, retarded or actual non-ejaculation. I've always been a little unhappy about his gait.

In reply to Brian*14.

Wait, wait……ejaculated prematurely? Joseph or Entni? I’m confused…..

Between “rising up to the occasion” and “keeping it up” in the house of representatives, I must conclude that they’re selling more than brandy in the parliament bar.

I think that our dear Joseph and his Party should read the following statement:

“The role of politicians is not to protest, but to find answers. I am determined that mainstream politics, and the Labour party in particular, speaks to that crisis and rises to the challenge.”
– Ed Miliband, today.

God bless our parlament was not discussing issues like the Greek parlament!! Our parlament was discussing the Arriva/Gatt saga.

Like you the Arriva/Gatt issue does not interest me very much becouse I have a second-hand-Japanese Fun Cargo. For thousands of others it does becouse they have to go to work using public transport not Jags
