Duty allowance is exactly what it is, expenses incurred in carrying out one’s duty. Something the opposition had been aware of.

When a Labour candidate uses her magistrate husband’s car and driver to peddle her wares, that’s dishonesty.

When the party leader raises funds for class action, declaring he won’t respect the court judgement once in office, that’s fraud.

When the party programme writer buys out exclusive rights to cruise liner routes in the southern Meditterranean, that’s conflict of interest.

When a Labour candidate starts to diversify her property business into the social services sector, that’s conflict of interest.

When another Labour candidate links justice policy to his profession, that’s another conflict of interest.

When the party leader doesn’t declare his family interests, sponsoring events via the party, directly linked to that line of business, that’s one garbled mess.

Who are the ‘we’ if I may ask?

Who’s “we”? She hasn’t been around since she was being milk-fed. What the heck does she know about life here in Malta?

I didn’t read the full interview because (call me an escapist) I couldn’t stomach it. When I see these excerpts and hear (through friends and acquaintances) what she said, I’m glad I didn’t. It would have ruined an otherwise very pleasant Easter.

Why should we be reminded of those awful and painful times? I think Labour will (I hope) learn its lesson for taking Mintoff’s daughter on board.

At the tip you really have to have high standards! When is Labour ever going to reach the beginning of “high standards”? Is it by bringing in the old rubbish?
