In reply to Manicurist. The problem is that he might get to like the nail polish a little bit too much.

Following Sam Mifsud’s chairmanship of the MTA, he switched roles as a consultant to Mario DeMarco, a post which he probably still occupies. It would be interesting to know Mario’s comments on this.

Why do all Labour’s boasted achievements come at the expense of someone else?

The banks (hijacked from private owners)
Sea Malta (a private company, hijacked)
Social housing plots (requisitioned from private owners)

U ghandu il-wicc tost jghajjar lin-Nazzjonalisti kuntrabandisti u hallelin……incredible.

Izda kemm wiehed jiflah jissaporti meta tara lil Joe Grima fl-ewwel filliera imkebbeb qisu balloon barrage icapcap ghal dak li kien qed jghid Vella dwar il-kuntrabandu u l-korruzjoni?

Meta niftakar x’gej il-quddiem taht dawn in-nies…

“tinkwethom tinkwethom qieghed, Joseph!”

Of course – there’s the real risk that we might find ourselves with Joseph as prime minister.

25 minutes of inane chatter, and at the end we’re left with ZERO proposals from this senior member of the Labour Party.

“European Commissioner John Dalli said tonight that it was unfair to blame the European Commission for the fact that no answer had been given to Malta yet on the restructuring of Air Malta.”

and

“Mr Dalli was replying to questions by Joe Grima on the One TV programme Inkontri. Before asking his question, Mr Grima featured comments by Labour spokesman Karmenu Vella, who said that it appeared that it was Malta, not the EU, that was to blame for the fact that a commission decision on the restructuring plan had been delayed from early autumn to the end of the year.”

How sweet, they both agree.

Sorry, but I couldn’t get past the standing ovation at the beginning of the clip. I feared for the safety of my laptop. Now I think I understand why we saw so many Libyans venting their anger and frustration by throwing shoes at images of Gaddafi. For a second, it seemed like a great idea, and then I hit the pause button instead. I admire your forbearance.

He has the temerity to lump the 70s, 80s and 90s in the same chapter of Malta’s political and social history.

What brazen cheek.

Brush away the superficiality, and our future minister’s reasoning is either seriously flawed or he’s deliberately attempting to confuse matters.

Karmenu Vella, stated that electricity prices in Malta are the most expensive because this ‘economist’ says that prices must be divided by the wages first.

If, for the sake of argument, that the average EU household income is three times that of the average Maltese household income. What will il-Guy do after he’s let out of the hatchery, and sits at the cabinet table? Reduce electricity prices to 1/3 of the EU average? Who will pay the subsidies? Will he knock at OPEC’s door and say ‘ hey I am il-Guy from Malta. You are selling oil at US$90, but you have to sell it to Malta at US$30?

Inciting socialist envy by talking rot.
