Yes, he had the ear of his prime ministers, but if his advice was accepted this was not because he was undemocratic in any way, but because his advice was deemed worthy of acceptance. I am fully aware of occasions when his views may have annoyed ministers, but it was for these ministers to show the prime minister that they were right and Cachia Caruana was wrong.

In the realm of high level politics all this is to be expected, but it can never be the valid subject of a censure motion in parliament against the adviser of the prime minister. The contents of this debate will be a document of shame for our parliament, exposing the motion as completely baseless, and in any case directed at the wrong person, while giving the opportunity to members of parliament with a grudge against Cachia Caruana to seek revenge.

In particular, Pullicino Orlando’s contribution dripped with personal animosity which had no reference at all to Cachia Caruana’s behaviour as Malta’s permenent representative tro the EU.

It is a very topsy-turvy world indeed when despicable scumbugs, with the aid of a scrounging Labour Party, are allowed to harm worthy people whose shoe-laces they are not even fit to tie.

A civil engineer is an engineer.

An engineer is a graduate of the faculty of engineering holder of an engineer’s warrant. Periti are none of the above.

The Nationalist Party should weed out all those who have shown disrespect, and/or outright hatred at the Prime Minister and his trusted fellowmen/women. This is the party that has shown immense courage when it came to difficult challenges, like Independence, EU, Euro etc.

It should now show the same courage to take all the necessary steps to clean out the whiners and haters, once and for all.

Then, the renegades can go form a political party of their own, should they so wish.

This has been a lesson learned and I am quite confident that going by today’s PN statement, this is the path the Nationalist Party is slowly (agonizingly, I would say) taking.

The three buffoons did not hesitate to do that to Carm Mifsud Bonnici and Richard Cachia Caruana. Why should the Party allow them the ‘privilege’ of walking away like any retired PN MP? They should also live by the historical fact of actually having been thrown-out by the Party they have repeatedly abused for their own reasons.

Can you imagine either Debono, JPO, or Mugliett doing what RCC has been doing for the last decade?

Just imagine the these scumbags would have done to the nation.

‘Perit’ does not exist in English. It is a gratuitous title, cooked up to satisfy the psychological – not professional – need for one to rival that of other professions.

One can be an architect, an engineer or both. If one is both, then it is correct to say that that person is an engineer. If the person in question objects to being referred to as engineer, he can suit himself. There are plenty of other things we can call him and, I can assure you, the list does not include ‘perit’.

I haven’t understood whether at this stage, it’s Joseph who’s pulling the strings or if the outsourcing has taken over at Hamrun.

Now that Lino Spiteri has mixed feelings about the Labour Party’s identity, it will be a question of time before the traditional Laburisti take up his uneasiness.

Joseph seems too smitten with the PN vote to realise that what he’s been avoiding all along, face the electorate, will be forced onto him by his own people.

Even because they’ve noticed the backlash his style is causing among traditional Labour core voters.
They were promised a victory by this leader for the right reasons, not these cheap shots.
