In reply to Jozef.

“We are going to push bidders…”

That shows the mentality of the person who said it.

PUSH, not “invite” or “encourage”.

Just push.

In reply to On the square.

It follows, Joseph says his isn’t the Labour Party, no it’s a movement encompassing the party, this being only an instrument. He insists a distinction has to be made between the two.

Which begs the question: it’s not as if we’ll get a symbol saying ‘moviment ghal-laburisti u dawk li ma jhossuhomx komdi fil-Partit Laburista’ on the ballot sheet are we?

What representative mechanism will he reserve for the second group? It could be a movement now, but it cannot be elected to parliament, only the Partit Laburista will.

‘Everybody knows Labour is going to win’

Who is everybody?

Even in the last election Labour were saying that they were going to have a sure win with an advantage of 20,000 votes but they lost once again.

They invented this project cause they assume that the voter is stupid but it will again fire back to their face.

Everybody knows Labour is going to win, I doubt anybody would want to keep their identity secret in case the Nationalists do, since it’s impossible.

Assuming you’re right with your hunch that there are operators and experts wanting to keep up the secrecy (which I doubt) can’t the PL find at least one credible independent expert anywhere in the world who is ready to put his name behind their cunning plan and vouch for its success and especially a price reduction of 25%?

[Daphne – It isn’t my hunch. It’s what Konrad Mizzi actually said. They have consultants and they don’t want to reveal their identity so that they can carry on getting contracts. Or similar.]

I personally have had it up to here with this old hoary chestnut much beloved of the Muscat Labour Party.

‘They won’t be able to get a contract’ my foot. Let’s mention two who come to mind who have (or had) been dipping their beaks into quite a lot of gravy, shall we?

Marlene Mizzi – Director and subsequently Chairman Sea Malta (for a period of NINE YEARS)

Louis Grech – Chairman Air Malta was kept on by the PN Minister Josef Bonnici.

And a contract awarded to PL bazuzli springs to mind:

Robert Abela – President’s son, married to Lydia Abela (national executive secretary of the Labour Party) is a partner of the Law Firm, Abela Stafrace and Associates, which handles MEPA’s caseload. MEPA paid Abela, Stafrace & Associates the amount of €1.23 million from 2001 up until 2011 for handling its caseload’ . Source MaltaToday

So that particular myth is BUSTED.

Now let’s see who’s in: Brother Ellul Vincenti, Brother Mugliette, Brother Karmenu Vella, Brother(?)Michael Falzon and of coarse Brothers Louis and Edward.

They miss brother John Attard Montalto.

I watched CloseUp where Joe Grima stated that he HONESTLY does not recall the protests against the Delimara power station.

Honestly.

Remember Ratso Rizzo in ‘Midnight Cowboy’?

Think his offspring are sprinkled around the Rock, under the guise of ‘civil engineers’.

X’qoxra jrid ikollok ma’ gismek kollu biex tidher fuq it-television u fuq il-media titkellem dwar progett falz u li kull espert qed jghid li huwa impossibli dak kollu li qed tghid.

Xi storja dahal fiha dan Konrad Mizzi ghadu jibda id-dinja fil-karriera politiku tieghu.

Imma tajt daha f’din il-basla ta’ xejn?

Spot on, Daphne! By their logic, the Labour Party will only be giving government contracts to Labour sympathisers.

“Because you know how it is, if it becomes known that they are helping the Labour Party then they won’t get any government contracts and so on.”
