Godfrey should have known better, considering the way his advertising company transformed itself from a mediocre agency handling the daily weather report under a Labour government to a TBWA affiliate landing GO, Banif, McDonalds and Middlesea, all key players in our economy emerging straight from market liberlisation and sound policies.

So no, Godfrey, low unemployment and sound financial policies don’t come about by default.

I do have real concerns about the financial and economic expertise and abilities of Karmenu Vella, Charles Mangion and Edward Scicluna.

Since when has Godfrey Grima become a summa on international economics, spreads, ratings and European policy? Were he that bright, he’d give a couple of hints to the now-blue-once-were-red PL power hungry horde.

And we’re complaining because of inadequate libel laws and tardy buses! F**k me!

It is as if these things happen by remote control. Good financial management by government does not come into it, according to Grima.

The logical conclusion of Grima’s argument is that when PL is in government, it can let go of the rudder because things will take care of themselves.

The more they speak, the more business has reason to worry.

What dismays me most is that people have very short memories and some have even ventured towards rehabilitating that same MLP which, four years, hounded all those who ventured a mere whisper of protest against all the injustices that piled up in those tarnished years. How can one forget so quickly? It would simply be plain stupid to forget because the PL now is lauding those very years where Malta was gripped with fear and its economy paralysed completely.
