Bring on the conspiracy theories

Published: November 22, 2012 at 11:29am

George Vella, speaking in parliament last night, said that he suspects a Hidden Hand in the removal of John Dalli and the obstruction of Tonio Borg.

God, these people are so tediously predictable.

Was there also a Hidden Hand in the award by the courts of some 200,000 euros to his first cousin the sacked casual nurse with a Mercedes SLK?

I trust not. So…

    Joseph Muscat’s thought bubble: “George, we LOVE the EU now…”

  2. SPAM says:

    200K for the nurse.

  3. jack says:

    It is EUR 200,000 not EUR 800,000

    In my experience, it’s always the cheats who accuse others of cheating.

  5. Evarist Saliba says:

    While I do not discard the likelihood that business, rather than political hidden interests, could have fuelled opposition to Tonio Borg candidacy so as to delay further the EU directive on tobacco, I would also add that this does not exonerate any politician who succumbed to this pressure.

  6. aston says:

    Is he saying, given the pattern of voting against Tonio Borg, that these “conspirators” are Socialists or Greens?

  7. P Shaw says:

    Was that his guilt conscience speaking? (in the case of the obstruction games of Tonio Borg).

    It is a very common psycological defense mechanism, where one projects his / her own vicious deeds (and thoughts) onto others.

    And you did not listen to him speaking at the meeting last Sunday. The amount of hate he still harbours towards all that is EU is incredible.

    He was trying to blame the current economic situation on past EPP governments saying that they were too ‘liberal’.

  9. RJC says:

    And if that was not enough, EU Sceptic No1 Alfred Sant wants to be an MEP.

    Lord help us.

  10. Antoine Vella says:

    Never mind a hidden hand, George Vella must have a hidden foot in his mouth.

  11. Joe Azzopardi says:

    The PPE, Conservatists and Right Wingers declared that they would vote for Tonio Borg. The Greens and Liberals declared that they will vote against. That leaves the Socialist Group …… who does the Hidden Hand belong to ?

  12. Dunstan says:

    If Alfred Sant makes it, he will solve so many of the EU`S problems! and write a book about it too!

  13. Harry Purdie says:

    Are those two caterpillars crawling around his forehead?

    How can someone who does not believe in Malta’s membership of the EU ever represent Malta in one of the EU’s most important institutions?

  15. Angus Black says:

    We can now add Sant to the list of Labour’s pseudo converts to the EU cause.

    Money talks and bends principles.

  16. C says:

    An observation worth considering. Alfred Sant just waited for the EU Parliament verdict on Tonio Borg before announcing today that he wants to contest the EU Parliament elections.

    Were he and Muscat working for the defeat of Tonio Borg to put pressure on the PM not to nominate someone else, so that Muscat would then propose Sant as Commissioner?

    This is the artwork for the cover of Fifty Shades of Grey, surely.
