@ HP
Concur, however: 

Engineers should be raising hell, sure, but what about the bean counters? How come they let these figures pass by without a blink? Why has the figures that make up the Muscat Folly not been dissected? 

Where is Astrid Vella and her merry band? Does the FAA approve of the siting of the Marsaxlokk tanks, to say nothing of the land required in setting up a new station? Or doesn&#039;t she has an axe to grind any more?

And finally has anybody asked Lino Spiteri (to mention just one) for his opinion, as an economist, if these figures and projections stand up to scrutiny?]]></description>

Exactly. This is turning into a single-issue campaign. And the trouble is, as Ranier Fsadni wrote today, it is a technocratic issue. But PN is not rebutting with technocratic arguments. It is using political arguments.

I say again, Labour have the science and the economics wrong. PN have swallowed the &quot;lower tariffs&quot; bait and are now promising their own &quot;inrahhsu l-kontijiet&quot;. No, no, no. Wrong on every level.

Attack Labour on the science. Tear their economic plans to shreds. And above all, reveal who it is that will really benefit from their Great Plan - ic-Caqnu, the oligarch par excellence. The ultimate bazuzlu and hbieb tal-hbieb. Attack their false socialism and their rabid lust for money. 

Labour&#039;s pulling out all the stops here. Beaming logos across Grand Harbour, pouring put money like it had a bottomless purse. Where is the money coming from? Who is connect to whom? Who is whose father/boyfriend/lover/business partner? But then that would require real journalism and PN have nothing but brown-nosing propagandists. 

In any normal country you&#039;d have the &quot;inginiera&quot; up in arms against this nonsense plan. But this is Malta. Imbasta nzidu &quot;Ing.&quot; wara isimna, right?]]></description>
