Not so cunning seeing as you probably jot down all of the IPs that come through this blog.

[Daphne – Jot down? This is the internet age. No, I don’t need to jot them down. If I begin to suspect that somebody is posting abusive comments under different names, I just run a check against the IP and it gives me different names for the same IP. Then I just ask them to please stick to one name, thank you. Anyway, the sort of people we’re talking about in this case wouldn’t know what an IP is, or that their IP number is logged when they comment.]

Nonsense. Maltese firms are once again doing brisk business in Libya, thank you very much. Don’t believe any of those tlifna hobzna stories.

His performances on One TV are enough proof that he is unfit and extremely disloyal, and if you are so fond of him I suggest you look at L-Orizzont of a few years ago and see what he stands for them too but that another story.

Yes, the prime minister was right about him, and the Nationalist Party was right to choose Gonzi not Dalli. How much more gentlemanly were those of the past who accepted the leader as the first among equals. History is on Gonzi’s side.

[Daphne – That’s right. I deleted his comment. The beetles have found a fresh strategem: using the names of regular commenters. But they have no way of knowing the email address, so that’s how I can tell it’s not the same person.]

Why would John Dalli and Edward Scicluna renounce their positions in the EU with handsome salaries/perks for a mere honoraria of less than €20,000 euros per annum?

Was Scicluna ready to renounce his MEP seat, so early, to make way for Marlene Mizzi, to be a backbencher like Franco Debono in Joseph’s government? What if he isn’t elected?

A ‘leader with style’? Oh, my. Then I’m Giorgio Armani.

I wonder why.
