On timesofmalta.com’s comments-board, one gets mired in ignorance, Eddy.

It’s like trying to have an intelligent conversation with the village idiots at the kazin tal-banda.

You just nod and respectfully “agree” with the drivel that is spouted. It’s home ground for you all right.

Same as on francodebono.com, your hero du jour.

Put your head in a bucket. Typical.

A Minister has to resign when he is under investigation. Don’t forget, in this case the investigations were concluded.

There is enough material for him to resign politically. That is why Barroso gave him half an hour to resign of his own accord.

This does not mean that he is guilty of having committed a criminal offence.

One must distinguish between political responsibility and criminal responsibility.

This case also proves that Gonzi was right when he decided to leave certain MPs out of his Cabinet.

I must be missing out on something, but will not lose sleep about this.

What excitement do you get out of being offensive?

And whoever told you I look at politics as if it were a football match?

If you really were above it all, how come you never commented about the uncanny resemblance between the comments made by the EU investigative body on the Dalligate and those made by the auditor general on the BWSC saga, and the ensuing respective reactions of the EU Commission and the Maltese Government?

I am morally convinced that the Government is riddled with corruption and that is the main reason why I will vote to see the lot in Government booted out of office. I also look at the big picture in terms of the running of the economy. The debt burden scares the shit out of me (excuse my French there) but its the term that best explains how I feel about it. It is the proverbial abrattros round our neck and Gonzi and his Minister Fenech have burdened generations to come thanks to their incompetence in managing the public coffers.

I lived overseas for a number of years and know full well the effects of austerity measures, the impact on families, the quality of life, and most importantly the joy of living.

But then I am below standard so it hardly matters.

Not interested, a bag of horseshit. Suits you, though.

What should be investigated is the Sargas connection. Dalli, the EU commissioner, lobbied the Maltese government and the Opposition in favour of Sargas’ technology for power generation.

Even if no money changed hands (no information has emerged to suggest this), surely such behavior went against the Code of Ethics for EU Commissioners.

Behaviour which was most unbecoming.

With the information that has come to light in the past few days, past actions by Dalli will be seen in a new light.

“Tonio Borg. Great. A man who makes Pope Benedict XVI look like a libertarian.”

So true ……. this definitely to be the quote of the day!

Exactly my same thoughts.

It was an immediate first move which shocked many people.

I wondered then, and wonder more now, how that came about

How’s that for justice and human rights A LA EU ??
