I do not need/heed wrong advice.

Unlike you, I write my comments under my own name, and I wonder wheteher I should ask you why you do not have the courage to reply in the same way.

More so, since you falsely accuse me of defending Dalli.

My experience in life, and my sense of responsibility, make me very careful what I write about other people, and I do not attach words like “cash” as freely as you do.

My stand so far has been very clear. I hold no brief for John Dalli, and I have my reasons for doing do. I have criticised him for having a local businessman with obvious limited experience, as a person to speak on his behalf in the corridors of the EU. At the same time, I hold no brief for the tobacco industry in Sweden which seems to be hell-bent to influence the EU to change its postion

Lestrade,
Please learn how to use a dictionary so as to learn that “ousting” can refer to removal from a property removal from A POSITION i.e. a job.

Mela “ousted” = “perpetual ground rent” (in Maltese it sounds better.

Best to keep a low profile, Francis ‘thou dost protest too much’..

Ah, c’mon Kevvy. This is a conspiracy in which you can certainly revel.

Don’t give up all wimpy and grumpy, with your tail between your legs.

I’m sure you can continue to contribute. We need you, Kevvy.

Or has wifey ordered you to stop, since you are embarrassing her and have put her future into jeopardy.

Something to do with the most feminist party?

As I have said already: I am not standing up for Dalli in any way. According to my philosophy. an animosity towards Dalli does not justify that I align myself on the side of a corrupt tobacco lobby.against my own country. Evidently you think otherwise but, please, allow me to differ.

Lestrade’s “wonder” was a thinly disguised insinuation that I, (and my brother), may have a hidden agenda for criticising Swedish Match and OLAF’s discriminatory treatment of those involved in the bribery attempt. That is a base, unfounded and a malicious insinuation that I strongly resent.

Here’s another conspiracy for your collection. Dalli couldn’t influence legislation but thought majtezwel give it a try so he gets his bazuzlu to ask for 10,000,000 Euros as a deposit, knowing full well he couldn’t be sued when he failed to deliver the goods.

I trust Peter Grech to do the right thing.
