All the Big Guns have gone AWOL
Why wasn’t Edward Scicluna facing the press tonight, defending that mess instead of Viper Varist?
It’s so very telling how all of Labour’s Big Guns and Star Candidates b**gered off tonight and left that snake Varist and that cabbage Cardona to face what might well turn out to be the most significant Labour Party press conference of the entire campaign.
Varist knows jack about company law and the duties of directors. What was he there for – to say that Father Christmas knocked on the finance minister’s door (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)?
Il-vera inkreppativ – a real nasty piece of work.
The ones who should have been there – Louis Grech, Manuel Mallia, Leo Brincat, Karmenu Vella, Edward Scicluna, for instance – weren’t going to be seen dead defending this mess, because it would make for bad personal PR.
Well, tough. They’re tainted just by being in the Labour Party.
Joseph Muscat has just discovered how fleeting fashion is. He’s yesterday’s silver hotpants, already.

It’s amazing that these sleasy slicksters, so close to the finish line, have so royally screwed up.
The heavy hitters head to the hills, can’t blame them, what’s left of their balls is very precious, as are their bank accounts.
Kurt the dwarf had shirt sleeves longer than his hands hanging out of his jacket!
Taking Varist’s mike he retorted to the aggressive questions on the drugs case coming from all angles and cried: “let’s keep to the subject of this press conference”.
How convenient.
More a case of yesterday’s seven-day-shitters. Hot pants could never cope with handling the copious excrement coming out of the PL.
Joseph Muscat resign, your game is up.
Fat lot of good this thing has done for Louis Grech’s status as MEP in the European Parliament. Wise choice indeed. If Louis Grech does not resign immediately as deputy leader if the party, it could only be because some in the party has some dirt on him.
Behold, the EU presidency might soon be held by an inept Mintoffian clone leading a Labour Party mired in a dirty oil scandal in true southern Mediterranean style.
A scenario that would permanently destroy the execellent international standing of our nation built up by Eddie Fenech Adami and by Lawrence Gonzi through long years of hard work.
Seen the Times front page this morning? Three columns plus pic to “Two businessmen in court ……..” : fair enough.
Then “Fenech to sue PL on E5,000 gift claim” bylined by (who else) Christian Peregin; I think the headline of this piece should have referred to Joe Cordina and not to some mud thrown by Varist in hasty retaliation.
How can I show that I disagree with the slant The Times has taken over the past years and even more so during the 2013 electoral campaign?
If I send comments to their online edition, surprise, surprise, they are not uploaded while trashy comments which do not make any sense at all, even their writer, are published pronto.
Shall I, after many, many years, stop taking the print edition, the only “advertising” I put in are some “In Memoriams “.
Is this newspaper, the erstwhile doyenne of Maltese editorials, so beholden to Kasco and thus open to political manipulation?

However, a very good observation. Good article.

“Inkrepattiv” nghidu. Jigifieri jikkawza inkomodu allura haqqu stmerrija (qed nipprova nsegwi l-etimologija sal-qiegh).
“Imprekattiv” hija jew daghwa inkella invokazzjoni ta’ sahta.
No, Mr/Ms “jien”.
It is “inkrepattiv” which means “spiteful”.
Go to “Kelmet il-Malti” by Kaptan Pawlu Bugeja, page 100 the 21st meaning.
I think that Labour miscalculated. Perhaps somebody told Dr Muscat to call Dr Gonzi’s bluff like Evarist Bartolo told Dr Sant to do to Dom Mintoff in 1998.
They didn’t believe that Mintoff would actually vote against them in a vote of no confidence.
This time they didn’t believe that Dr Gonzi will give the presidential pardon and in so doing implicate people close to the Nationalist Party like Tancred Tabone.
Dr Gonzi always maintained that “min jilghab man nar jinharaq”, and that’s what he did.
Their guiding principle, whether they are conscious of it or not, is Minn hexa mexa. They forget though, li ma jmurx il-boghod. You’d think 25 years in Opposition would have served to sober up and straighten up.
They must have been so very desperate to have taken that corruption shot.
Very revealing.
Yes, puts their audited accounts in a new light. If Cordina was in charge of party finances, where does it leave them?
Who chose Cordina?
If we have to understand any of this, Gaddafi’s demise plays an important part.
We know Sant was financed by Gaddafi to campaign against the EU. Make that instructed.
The party was in dire straits at the time and Joseph had to get rid of the party to be able to gather some funding.
He was still into the PL and the new torca until then.
And what funding.
Let’s have a pardon for Cordina. He’s Labour poor thing.
Could be anyone. North Korea, Qatar, Turkey even (they’ve only just struck a deal on gas resale with the EU). Or China.
Rats are said to be the first to leave a sinking ship.
Louis Grech, Manuel Mallia, Leo Brincat, Karmenu Vella and Edward Scicluna abandoned the wheelhouse, and left it in the hands of two dilettantes.
They’re heading for the lifeboats.
The fearless captain is nowhere to be seen.
