What happened last Monday will never be erased. It was Black Monday for all the Maltese people. Labour never changes. Whenever they were in power we all know what happens.

1) Gonzi might have a limited selection, but his is a five-star buffet compared to Joseph’s turnip patch.

Furthermore, thanks to Muscat & Co.’s actions, it is now even harder to get good people to work for the state: where before one could appeal to patriotism and a high profile in order to compensate for a lousy financial package (compared to the private sector), it’s now been established that anyone, no matter how well one does one’s job, can still be dragged through the mud,

2) The selection of George Abela was an act of political goodwill (naturally mostly self-serving);

3) Anyone with even a smidgen of experience in large organisations is aware that major players cannot be replaced overnight – unless they’re crap, which is hardly the case for RCC. The timing (in midst of negotiating a seven-year budget plan!) furthermore sucks, to put it mildly;

4) Ditto re Carm. They say empty vases make most noise, and few will bother to evaluate the fundamental changes he was working on as opposed to flashy and costly reforms;

5) As regards to Airmalta, what’s this inferiority complex?! My acquaintances include Maltese doctors and finance professionals working in top posts abroad. If, however, we have no Maltese with experience running an airline, we get someone who does – simple as that. We should not jeopardise the livelihood of the airline’s employees (not to mention its effect on the economy) just so that a Maltese guy/gal can can beef up his resume!

As regards to your statement “Daphne, I think you are mistaken”, what exactly are you rambling about? What’s the ‘truth’ which “no excuses and spinning will change”?

He couldn’ find a Nationalist for a president.
He can’t even find a replacment for RCC.
He can’t find anyone to take over from Carm Mifsud Bonnici.
He couldn’ t find even one Maltese CUC for Air Malta.

The two Maltese saying that will live on for a long time are Robert Arrigo. ” Pajjiz bil-puncture” and Bundy’s “Pajjis tal- Mickey Mouse”
These are facts and no excuses and spinning will change the truth.

The last time I used the word ‘dork’ was in my primary school days.

Perhaps JPO(S) should take a long, hard look at himself before saying that about Karol Aquilina.
