Comments on: Another JOSEPHMUSCAT.COM lie. And this time, it’s writ large on billboards across the nation.

In reply to Min Jaf. Actually, one is Lune Muscat. You know, to go with Etoile and Soleil.

Unless my eyes deceive me, labour has used those two kids for 3 of their ‘tablet’ billboards.

One shows the boy alone, with and open book and a tablet showing a picture of … (frankly I could not discern the thing).

Another shows the girl by herself – and sporting the same top and jersey.

And the one shown above.

A quick photo-session to reduce costs, perhaps? But why?
Labour seems to be wallowing in money.

The fact that it’s a lie is can also be confirmed from the expense involved. If I’m not mistaken, Joseph had also said that the pledge will cost €5 million. Compare that to the PN’s pledge that will cost €23 million for all secondary and primary years.

So, essentially, the PL will spend €5 million to cover one school year, the PN €23 million to cover 10 years, equivalent to €2.3 million per school year.

From this one can also conclude that the PL’s costings were probably over-inflated to please the electronics supplier which imports the brand mentioned by Joseph (who unsurprisingly is a well-known Labourite.)

Hey little Joey. Just read that Zimbabwe has just 217 US dollars left în the bank. (Globe and Mail, Canada)

Now there’s a target for you. Twit.

In reply to SPAM.

Yep, loved watching Manuel trying to extrapolate himself from why the Whistleblower Act should be implemented retrospectively and the abolishment of the prescription period should be implemented prospectively.

The thought of Il-Guy and the rest of them in prison instead of in government is just lovely.

I have to say that I firmly disagree that whoever whistleblows AFTER profiting from corruption should be exempt from prosecution.

I always thought that the principle of the Whistleblower Act is that if someone innocent (note the term innocent) discovers corruption, then he and his job are protected if they report the findings.

I never thought it was about one corrupt individual getting even with another corrupt individual because they had a falling out.

[Daphne – I quite agree there. It is extremely dangerous to have that situation embedded in the Whistleblower Act. There is already a time-honoured discretionary system for that: turning State’s (Queen’s) evidence. And remember how the Labour Party behaved when it was last used in Malta in the case of Joe Fenech and a murder contract. Ironic that Manuel Mallia was the defence lawyer for the other party and had a vested interest in sabotaging that.]

In reply to SPAM. Francis Zammit Dimech is a decent sort of person. I'd give him my number 1 vote gladly.

In reply to Jozef. They must be twins, seeing that they've got a tablet each.

In reply to Jozef. No. They are twins called Lune and Comet.
