Indeed they have. And will do so again, sadly.

You’re quite right, Paul, but the sad fact is that a number of Maltese have fallen for these scams all in the hope of gaining a buck.

And some of them were ‘businessmen’.

Three excellent points. However, I fear our brain cells have become too complacent and forgetful. Lack of vigilance has been the downfall of many happy countries over the years.

Too bad, really like this place.

You are told you “won” millions, and the minute you are stupid enough to swallow the con, you realise you are actually out of pocket in actual fact!

God please help us.

100% correct. It is sheer exasperation on Tonio Fenech’s part. Surely not helped by what the polls are foretelling him.

These absolute ‘zeros’ WILL be in power, putting their whacked out plans into action two months from now.

Can we blame his frustration?

@ Luigi

Your grandmother is in no position to give a rat’s ass about who you vote for, but YOU will be directly affected if you waste your vote, or giving it to the Labour Party.

A nasty story is already unfolding because of Labour’s folly. Just imagine the price you will have to pay if Labour finds itself governing and dumps 600 million additional debt on the State.

Tough to mature in eight weeks, but one can always think about his/her interests.

Luigi – keep it up brother! Don’t let the bastards get you down!

Oh, and lay off whichever hallucinogenics you’re taking before these very random and strange posts.

You’re fooling absolutely nobody by the way, although I can’t speak for your sainted grandmother.

Luigi is just a 19-year old member of Pulse, studying economics, and a rising star in the Labour youth movement.

He isn’t grumpy at all. In fact, the future belongs to him – and I, for one, acknowledge him and his friends as our overlords.

It’s easy to understand and commiserate with Fenech.

He is a money cruncher, and naturally deals in absolutes (1 + 1 = 2).

When faced with somebody who claims that 1 + 1 = 999, he will take the time to explain, but after repeating and bringing evidence to lay bare the error, he gets frustrated as he cannot understand the sheer obstinate stupidity facing him.

Fenech can argue and demolish any argument using a logical approach, but expects to be dealing with people who are open to reason and the proof of his arguments.

In other words, Konrad is like an eel, and Tonio’s frustration in pinning him down is evident.
