Comments on: Labour is thick with false ‘ekonomisti’, but none of them read The Economist https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/12/labour-is-thick-with-false-ekonomisti-but-none-of-them-read-the-economist/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

Isn’t disagreement found in all aspects of life and a normal part of any relationship?

[Daphne – Not disagreement for the sake of it, David. My issue with you (and you probably have the same problem with others) is that you are not interested in the subject under discussion but only interested in scoring points and contradicting. So whether the subject is lollipops or power stations, you’re right in there nitpicking. I can tell genuine interest in the subject from a desire to do battle with me for the sake of it, you know.]

The lover of Muammar Gaddafi and conspiracy theories wants to lecture us about authoritarianism.

Why don’t you go back into the hole you crawled out from?

[Daphne – David, you are so tedious. I mean, really. Whatever the subject, you have to nitpick and contradict. I hope for her sake that you’re not married.]

Bit of a Freudian slip with the authoritarian, Kev, I think. Surely you meant ‘authoritative’?

Jesmond Mugliett was on the STEPS programme, and he was at the public conference about the Sargas coal powerstation. I don’t know if it’s related to what you suggest, but according to political analysts, he’s been digging recently.

Ar’hemm hej, faqqa sebghek… but what can one expect from a mara-tad-dar magazine editor? The Economist sounds authoritarian enough to beat her counterparts on the other side of the ditch.

Couldn’t we get Maltese STEPS students to dig for coal, Ciccio? Everyone seems to be doing their PhD in Wales or Yorkshire. That’ll put some spunk into our effete leeches – er, graduates.

Malta shouldn’t prostitute itself to what are in effect, foreign interests used to lobbying as a method to underline their influence in their own countries. When we’ll consider this as an opportunity, which it is, some sane decisions could be made.

Trust Labour to spoil it by sponsoring Dalli’s deal and politicise this simply to spite the PN in government, sad.
