Why is Muscat afraid of facing the PM? Can’t he remember his lines, or does he want overtime?

I remember that the tender for second hand cars and other vehicles for airport use was issued by AirMalta in the early 90s when the deputy leader of the MLP was CEO.

If you are so sure about your design of the proposed power station, why didn’t you provide us with a scale model?

In the lead-up to the EU accession referendum, one of the justifications for Malta staying out of the EU put forward by Karmenu Vella il-Guy was that Malta’s construction industry would no longer be able to buy and utilise second hand cranes and equipment.

There is an increasingly visible thread in PL utterings laying the ground for pulling Malta out of the EU. The ugly consequences of putting Joseph Muscat and the Malta Labour Party in government go far beyond the proposed power station.

That is the typical Maltese moron – basically a good 55% of the population. It is all in the genes.

[Daphne – Perhaps you should point out that this was not a throwaway remark and that you know your genes.]
