Alex Manche` has been described as a renaissance man. His interests are legion and his bedside manner with patients is legendary. I know because he operated on me.

No, I have no knowledge whatsoever that Marco Cremona wishes or plans to enter into the bi-partisan political fray.

My comment was directed towards the integrity, commitment, and expertise that I believe Marco has – the same values which I do not see in most parliamentarians – let alone at cabinet level.

[Daphne – The curious thing is that he gives me the opposite impression. Maybe it’s because he hits all the wrong buttons by being like a character from Absolutely Fabulous, but without the fun and humour.]

He will do whatever it takes to attract attention including wage war on farmers.

[Daphne – Unless you know something I don’t, Marco Cremona is not standing for election to the Maltese parliament.]

Don’t mind anyone seeking any (alleged) limelight if he/she can be the catalyst to effectively address – what in my opinion is a crucial element of Malta’s environmental andeconomic survival.

Mark, were it he did this for the good of the country, it still requires objectivity and avoiding any bias. His profession carries some very strict guidelines when it comes to speaking in public.

He wasn’t at all professional when, during an interview on TV, he stated Malta should immediately opt for gas and not HFO, omitting to mention the infrastructural costs, the risks associated with supply without a pipeline in place and the fact that government intends to convert Delimara to gas.

An engineer takes into consideration all prerogatives, anything else is opinion which his warrant precludes.

He was in The Sunday Circle , stooped on a sofa, promoting the online version of the magazine.

I didn´t know he has a private business and now everything he says I must take in this context.

The Times reporting of the event is disgusting. Half of the report deals with what Marco Cremona says, and they even present him to their readers as ‘Dr’ when he has no doctorate.

A report on one of the TV stations referred to a speech by the Water Services Corporation CEO, at the same conference. Readers of The Times would be more interested in knowing what the Water Services Corporation thinks and plans to do than in reading the details of Marco Cremona’s personal opinion.

It is shameful how The Times allows itself to be used as a PR tool for individuals with an over-inflated ego. A free ride indeed.

I tend to agree. Whoever goes to church wants spiritual guidance not tips on water conservation.
