Comments on: Lino Spiteri: “It would be a fine mess indeed if the country’s ambassadors were personally held to account before the House of Representatives in censure motions.” https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2012/06/lino-spiteri-it-would-be-a-fine-mess-indeed-if-the-countrys-ambassadors-were-personally-held-to-account-before-the-house-of-representatives-in-censure-motions/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

The moment he establishes a line of thought, he immediately contradicts himself in no time at all.

We will see his up-coming article extolling Joseph for being precisely ”a man of ideas with a visionary eye”.

I am sorry but I learned to read Lino with a pinch of salt.

For conoisseurs of the history of politics this RCC episode is no great surprise.

It reminds me of Clive of India who, like RCC, was an emissary of the first order.

He gave Britain more than it deserved thoughout many years of a brilliant career. He literally made his country rich.

He was hounded by the Commons because of envy.

He ended up committing suicide at a young age.

RCC will be remembered for generations as Malta’s best representative in Brussels.

Time will prove me right.

And RCC will not commit suicide.

He will just enjoy himself mocking (privately) his pathetically stupid adversaries.
