Two used-car salesmen without an ounce of integrity between them
Karmenu Vella Il-Guy has been whoring himself for financial gain through business and politics since the early 1970s, an A1 survivor who sat in the cabinets of Dom Mintoff, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici and Alfred Sant, and who will now sit in Joseph Muscat’s.
That means the cabinets of four Labour prime ministers tucked under his belt in a survival era that spans literally five decades: the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, and the first two decades of the 21st century.
While in Opposition, he survives pretty nicely too, racking up business deals and using his political clout and contacts to feather his nest, as when last year he entered into a business deal with Sam and Simon Mifsud of S Mifsud & Sons, the travel and cruise company, to partner up/take over the General Workers Union’s travel business.
He really is unbelievable.
As for Joseph Muscat, he remains what he always was: a scummy little Super One reporter just growing older, balder and fatter, but with no capacity for intellectual growth or the development of the sort of spine, principles, morality and integrity that are expected of a prime minister by everyone who does not vote Labour and think that having feasting, help-yourself scum running the country is normal.
Karmenu Vella – incredible. Is he still here? Does he fully intend to leave politics in a gold-lined coffin, trailing cash, consultancies and company directorships?

Please correct me if I am wrong. Karmenu Vella said that they had decided for the Air Malta board to stay in place for a further six months after Labour won.
Doesn’t that make it possible for a board member to have discussions with his minister? I wouldn’t call that collusion.
Why is Joseph sitting next Karmenu Vella, was it a specific condition asked by the nice guy?
The other two should be seated on either side not as if they were called at the very last minute.
Who’s out of his depth then?
The shape of things to come, heavyweights doing their thing, Joseph to the side with his young and fresh entourage. Tuba.
Karmenu Vella’s big on collective responsibility. So why should we trust him when he shares the collective responsibility of Mintoff’s, Mifsud Bonnici’s and Sant’s years in government.
And doesn’t he and that other bookend, Elve Aaron Farrugia, have rather a lot to do on the PL’s policy programme?
Have we forgotten the boats with merchandise wntering GHadira? I haven’t!

Can I just point out something totally unrelated; who the hell does Franco Debono think he is to “welcome” these reforms? He’s not the Prime Minister, nor is he the Police Commissioner nor the Minister for Home Affairs (thankfull).
He’s just an annoying MP who thinks he is God’s gift to democracy and who doesn’t have the faintest idea what decency and decorum are. I wish the media would stop giving these bunch of nobodies so much coverage.
At 3.42, Karmenu Vella refers to “JP” … like he’s some old school buddy.
X’kunfidenzi.
And where was Joe Mizzi ?
They really do give the impression they are sat there thinking ‘I cant believe we are getting away with this. I am way out of my depth’
Perhaps in this case ‘used car-salesmen’ is a better description than ‘used-car salesmen’.
The saga relating to JPOS is almost unbelievable, but at the same time it is very similar to the story involving the planting by Joseph Muscat of Sabrina Agius at RTK.
In both cases, Joseph has colluded covertly with insiders of major organisations which have traditionally been opponents of Labour policy.
In both cases, when the culprits were discovered, they claimed that they were the victims of injustice: Sabrina Agius alleging political discrimination, while JPOS claiming he was a victim of RCC.
This is the way Joseph Muscat works. But this is the way Labour has always worked. It is a party which uses far right tactics, including the maintenance of systems which are not short of a Secret Service.
Joseph Muscat? I thought the prime mover in this set piece was Rapunzel in Brussels.
