Agreed, the tone is condescending.

Then there’s the childish terminology, ‘postijiet tax-xoghol ahjar b’pagi tajbin’, when the company in question does its own design, testing, validation and certification in house, is inadequate.

Last Friday the PM put some emphasis, his words, on the fact that local SME’s have resorted to credit from local banks to invest in their evolution, unprecedented hints of an organic, autonomous system. It’s what we want to hear.

Ghoxrin Punt: Intelligent people will surely have realized that Lawrence Gonzi had tried to dupe them on Xarabank, after they got to know more details about this Brazilian company which Lawrence Gonzi still lacks the courage to mention its name !

They were not obliged to give an ex prime minister a state funeral.

They did it because he deserved it.

[Daphne – No, Silvio, he wasn’t given a state funeral because he was an ex prime minister or because he personally deserved it, but because he was the prime minister who successfully negotiated for independence from Britain. This government then made the mistake of thinking that it should reciprocate by giving a state funeral to Mintoff, but reciprocation should not enter the equation with these matters. Mintoff did nothing to merit a state funeral, rather the reverse, and should never have been given one. Individuals should not be given state funerals because they are or were popular. That is Banana Land thinking, which is why Eva Peron got one.]

Nista nimmagina kieku GonziPN gieb f’pajjizna kumpanija bhal ST Microelectronics, li ghadha l-pilastru ewlieni tal-esportazzjoni f’pajjizna !

Giov. DeMartino: I am looking forward to see you post your above comment on The Times -on-line. Wear a steel helmet when you do !

Age is playing tricks on you Giovann. Suggest you give up watching Net TV and reading In-Nazzjon. You’ll feel much better.

Daphne: But this is not what Dr. Gonzi wanted people to believe, namely, that this was just a small , back-up office operation, as Tonio Fenech has now said. He wanted to dupe televiewers that this was a very big company which had brought its HQ to Malta and has been employing lots of workers for 1 year ! When, he knew it was just a back-up office operation which was closing down in a few more days !!!!

Anki hanut tal-pastizzi ihaddem 4 min-nies !

Aunt Hetty: The theatricals were seen on Xarabank , being made by Lawrence Gonzi on the Brazilian Bubble, which blew up in his face after a couple of hours !

Monte bello and Giovann DeMartino: I’m here enjoying the spectacle of GonziPN fanatics consoling each other. And fleeing from other comment boards where they may face a barrage !

Harry Purdie: Why don’t you write your stupid comments on The Times-on-line ? Or are you scared of the backlash ?

The person who sent the email to Daphne (no name provided ) seems unaware that this Brazilian company has called it a day, and TODAY, 9 November is the last working day of the last employee of 4 employees who had been employed for a few months, the last one was employed in August 2012 !

But Dr. Gonzi had tried to fool televiewers into believing that this company has been employing many workers for at least 1 year, when he already knew that it had already decided to leave ! No wonder Dr. Gonzi’s “Brazilian Bubble” blew up in his face within hours of the Xarabank debate !
