So now you want ANOTHER power station with two Mosta dome-sized gas-filled tanks, just to spite your face?

Seriously, what is wrong with you? Why are you doing this to yourself?

You didn’t expect Labour’s power station to be built on the moon, right?

Din tal-power station il-gdida hija prova cara xi jsarfu dawn in-nies! Hargu b’gennata u jkun miskin min jemminhom. Povri it-tfal taghna!

Il-gvern prezenti ghandu progetti cari u bis-sens ghal futur, u mhux dwar il-provvisti tad-dawl u l-ilma biss izda ghanke ghal impiegi, ghal-edukazzjoni, u ghas-sahha, u dawn il-PN harighom fil-berah fil-programm elettorali ghal-l-iskrutinju tal-poplu kollu inkluzi ghal-Laboristi.

Issa sta ghal poplu sabiex jiddeciedi min hu serju sabiex nibqghu nghixu fi trankwillita’ u ghal futur fis-sod li ilna nghixu hekk minn mindu fil-pajjiz kien hawn gvernijiet Nazzjonalisti.

Since Cypriot banks were heavily exposed to Greek debt, plus the fact that the Communist president was unwilling to take any measures to cut spending on the heavily bloated civil service, had already contributed to the economic downturn. T

his in a country which has no free medical care and has recently discovered deposits of natural gas. To think that Joey wanted us to emulate their “success” a couple of years ago.

Cyprus intercepts a ship carrying weapons from Iran en route to Syria.

Cyprus seizes the cargo and with no place to store these weapons, decides to store the containers in a deserted place… albeit still not far away from one of the countries power generating stations.

The temperatures rose ( hello…. summer ) and the weapons exploded …. damaging badly the nearby powerstation.

Then I quote:

“Electricity Authority of Cyprus Chairman Charis Thrassou warned that it would take a long time to repair the Vassiliko plant and added that an emergency rationing plan would be put to ministers.

CNA reported him as saying billions of euros may be needed to restore the plant to normal and power outages have already hit large swathes of the island.

The loss of supply also prompted the closure of desalination plants which had allowed the gradual abandonment of summer water rationing over the past two years.

The Nicosia Water Board announced that consumers in the capital would now be supplied with water for just 12 hours in every 48.”

God forbid one of Joseph Muscat’s tanks explodes and takes out our power station with it. THAT IS WHEN WE WILL HAVE HUNGER AND POVERTY SUR MUSCAT ! No Electricity, No Water, No Freeport, No Nothing !

CyprusJoe wants us to have the same fate? How can one not see the similarity between this case and Malta’s case…..

I was thinking about how the scene would change with josephmuscat.com in power. What folly.
