She’s right about one thing though: the cheesy expired slogans.

Not one Labour supporter’s comment on that article with all the usual doom and gloom rhetoric.
I wonder why?

Karmenu Vella was so upset when Tonio Fenech explained the hidden costs and land use of a storage facility required for a gas operated power plant without a pipeline in place.

The place designated was Benghisa, close to Birzebbuga. Karmenu Vella officially resides in Birzebbuga.

Lawrence Gonzi made it clear that his strategy is to connect to this pipeline crossing from North Africa to Italy, avoiding the environmental cost rarely mentioned by those who dissent.

He also made emphasis on the feeder cable being installed from Sicily. This will open the the market for different electicity providers to supply the local market.

Labour’s secret strategy to lower tariffs is to stay mum about this, then gloat at the achievements of THIS administration.

My intention is surely not to shame this person (as my mastering of English is far from perfect) but as a further proof that our use of English has unfortunately gone to the dogs.

They have to give Karmenu Vella the ministerial position but at the same time they need Charles Mangion because he is one of the most knowledgeable people they have in economics (which isn’t saying much) and they need his input to come up with at least some half-baked economic policy, always at the right moment of course.
