The China Dock was built by hundreds (thousands?) of Chinese workers – could be for free. Perhaps we shall see a repeat story with the proposed Muscat power station.

That’s why we need a streamlined government. There is far too much duplication.

Some government bodies are redundant.

And yet the government announces the setting up of another agency or department or council or committee as if it were an achievement in itself.

‘hit the road running’? Would that be the one that goes directly to Dingli Cliff?

Before the last election, JPO came across as a victim and Sant as the evil bully.

We all took his word for it, and it’s not the Nationalist Party’s fault that the image that springs to everybody’s mind when one remembers the whole episode, is of Sant standing underneath a logo in the TV studio, looking like a rabbit caught in headlights, incapable of answering JPO.

That Franco Debono was ambitious was well known, but few could have guessed at the amount of ambition that was bubbling inside him, and that he would turn out as being a little boy who wanted to be made minister no matter what.

The Mugliett choice was an oddity, but hey, he was popular with his constituents. The risk was assessed and taken.

Anyway, it’s useless now to rubbish past choices. We can’t change the past after all.

And how many competent people do you know who would have been willing to head the agencies, with the sort of pay the opposition would not have objected to.

Competent people are in extremely short supply on this island, because most of them move on.

Labour are also having a field day with their HFO claims about its health detriments and what a bad choice it was.

They’ve gone as far as to call it a ‘cancer factory’, yet nobody bothers to counter this with the fact that the new extension meets the Air Quality Standards directive 50/2008 of the European Union.

Moreover, the harmful nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and dust particles are being captured and stored in silos to be disposed of in a controlled manner.

Why aren’t the PN screaming about this?

Qed tessagera. It’s 9cSIX.
