Good one! Is it working? I hardly think so.

So true and so sad. I am sure Franco Debono read the above but will it make him think about it? No, I’m sure.

HPD is a very serious matter. I hope a good friend of his will have a very serious talk about this comment above.

I always did very well at school and managed to get a prize every year, I also ended up with about 10 O Levels and 3 A Levels with grades ranging between As and Bs.

Despite this, however, I still never managed to go to University because I lacked the Ghoxrin Punt, so Franco, you might recall the schools not opening and private lessons in peoples houses, but you were lucky to be young enough to miss the real impact of this, you were lucky enough that by the time you came to go to university, Mintoff and KMB were out of the picture and the Nationalist Party were running the country ensuring that MERITOCRACY won the day and not some sponsorship, so if you really are a Nationalist, just SHUT UP and be grateful that its the Nationalist Party who allowed you the education that you got…..even though in your case it has been totally wasted.

It might interest you to know that I have lately enquired whether such a place already exists.

Not only does it do so, but they also have a section reserved for Maltese politicians and their lackeys.

Unfortunately, there are presently no vacancies, so an extension is being considered owing to the large demand.

I think one of the biggest mistakes was not immediately accepting the result of the EU membership referendum.

Not the policy of being against EU membership, but the response to the referendum?

Once the referendum showed the majority of the Maltese people wanted EU membership, the party should have accepted it straight away rather than accept it after losing the election.

What about EU membership itself? Did you support it?

The question of the way one votes is always something personal. But in my family there were people who voted for membership and others who voted against.’

Chris Fearne on the The Sunday Times this morning.
He had just said the time of arrogant politicians is over, that we need technical people who know what they’re talking about.

So who’s mediocre?

First he lambasts the government and parliament for not doing their work, and now his knickers are in a twist because bills are to be debated. The sooner this pernicious dullard is neutered and neutralized, the better it will be for everyone.
