Simples, as Aleksandr Orlov is fond of saying.

He’s worried because he’s planning on another handshake, diamond this time though.

And those nasty Nats forced him to take the golden settlement, so that wasn’t his fault.

Wonder what he can do now…….

The worst sort of Left winger then. A cultural Marxist as a youth and a champagne Socialist later. Disgusting. Not blame him? This shyster with swept-back bunchy CEO hair is a threat to Western civilisation.

Not really. As Daphne wrote in her column for The Malta Independent on Sunday, Louis Grech made his political choice in the 60s when as president of the (University) SRC (student representative council) he used to parade in Che Guevara uniform — cap, beard and all.

It was all hip and romantic then to admire Che, but an Air Malta golden handshake later, you can’t blame him for having a political axe to grind.

Dawn kienu qishom xi Alla’t tal-pajjiz u kellhom pagi enormi.

Semplici porter kien idahhal LM 19,000 fis sena (kollha ta’ Wistin Abela Taz-Zejtun) mela ahseb u ara min kien imlahhaq x’kien idahhal! Overtime bla razan anke meta ma’ kienx ikun hemm xoghol. Serq bla control minn l-Air Supplies.

Izda kollha saru nies minn fuq daharna u minn fuq dahar il-pajjiz. Ahseb u ara Louis Grech u l-bella kumanija x’kienu jdahhlu?.

Kartanzjan and all, I bet he can still perform. Think DSK and Sean Connery rolled into one.

Do you have a Kartanzjan?

Joseph needed somebody with ‘presence’, an acceptable and inoffensive looking figure, after he showed the bumbling Mr. Goon the door.

Mind you, any person who expouses Labour policies is inherently suspect, despite his looking benign and cultured.

How can any decent person feel comfortable rubbing shoulders with people whose history is littered with violence?

Even so, the adage one swallow does not a summer make, can be transposed to Louis, ie one mild mannered person, does not an acceptable party make.
