					<description><![CDATA[Like Simon Busuttil, I smell a rat (gas).  One question has not been posed.  

From which port will the said gas tankers, laden with gas, start their journey towards Malta?  

Surely not from Sicily or for that matter any European port.  Would it be from a Gulf State or thereabouts?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With regards to the tendering process what PL are saying is this: We think we found a loophole in the regulations so we will go ahead and not issue a tender but an expression of interest where we require the investment of 300 million Euro (double that) that will be repaid by the users (Maltese residents). 

This reasoning has the following problems -

1) Pl when in government are comfortable using a perceived legal loophole to make way for their brilliant plan. so a PL Government is saying we&#039;re ok with illegalities.  A responsible Government would legislate against such loophole and not use them.  I am emphasizing perceived legal loophole.

2) the PL is comfortable with promising our money (utility bills) to a private company (chosen without the tendering process) basing a huge amount of money on a contract that is legally dubious (refer to point 1).

3) the PL is comfortable with promising for 10 years a revenue (paid by the Maltese residents through utility bills) to a chosen company based on what the company will be promising in their expression for interest. Too many promises. 

4) The PL are comfortable with any bidder who shows interest. without a tendering process specifying the requirements, hence anyone will be able to submit their interest with the cheapest bidder winning.

In this scenario the only choice Maltese residents have is to use their vote sensibly. Following the election and if we&#039;re not sensible, we&#039;re at the mercy of these imbeciles.]]></description>

It&#039;s pathetic when you see Labour supporters and politicians complaining about TVM being biased.  

The reason they think so is because when you say things as they are, it sounds as if you&#039;re biased towards the Nationalists because Labour rarely do anything right.  

And Luigi, if you&#039;re talking about the Xandir Malta of Mintoff&#039;s time, keep in mind that at one point the Nationalist Party wasn&#039;t even allowed on state television or radio, and they would play &quot;Run Rabbit Run&quot; (to make fun of Fenech Adami) before an election.]]></description>

C&#039;mon, you can&#039;t be a regular reader here and not realise it is a joke, or better still, a political jibe. 

One can write a comment literally (i.e. by using words) or graphically (using images). 

That&#039;s why this blog is fantastic.

Sometimes I wonder how many people appreciate political cartoons.]]></description>
