Anna Caruana,

‘Simple’ Simon is nearly half Louis Grech’s age and twice (conservatively) as smart.

The Nationalist Party elected Simon Busuttil after nominating Tonio Borg to the position of EU Commissioner, a position Louis Grech would have been unfit for.

The Labour Party elected (sort of) Louis Grech deputy leader because Joseph wanted to counter (MEP) Simon Busuttil with a Labour MEP who is 65 and not in the best of health.

This shows how poor Labour’s reasoning is and how shortsighted its leader is.

Mario deMarco would have been a valid deputy leader and so would Tonio Fenech have been. The fact is that the contest was wide open and others could have chosen to run.

Int bis-serjeta!!

It is now time for Prime Minister Gonzi to lead a stern and resolute fight against the increasingly hubristic Maltese fascists.

Forget everything else. Lawrence Gonzi needs to address this issue head on.

A lawyer and party deputy reasoning like a communist.

‘Beza’ ghan-nies onesti tal-kumitat.’

So Toni is judge and jury. But it is not his remit to decide not to report to the police because the evidence was gone.

Let the latter carry out their own investigations. Most of the time proof is only found during investigations.

Following the same reasoning, the police should not investigate anything because it necessarily disturbs honest citizens who are dragged into investigations as a matter of course. This is omerta’.

Even Manuel Mallia is talking as if he is judge and jury. What about the Chamber of Advocates? Can we have some comments please?

Can anybody enlighten us non-lawyers if it is true that the witness of a crime is under no obligation to report it to the police, as Manuel said yesterday on television?

I don’t care about being given free this and free that.

I don’t want justice in our country to go down the drain.

Lawrence Gonzi, you can do this. Go for it and burst their bubble.

We are expecting some serious talk tomorrow at Haz-Zebbug.

The best of Labour, appealing solely to the average Joe’s inferiority complex.

What do they think they are now? Tista Tkun Int? Arani Issa?

It normally takes a number of decades with oscillation between extremes.

Simple Simon mentioning cancer twice during the debate yesterday shows what a spineless creep he is.

The only support he has in his own party comes from that other Gonzi clone Clive Pule who s as bright as a candle in the night.

PN lost the plot and that s why they deserve to be on the opposition benches. Simon has no leadership qualities.

De Marco would have been a much better candidate.

After five years of being told that the Maltese are being clobbered and bludgeoned by energy rates, it turns out that the Maltese are so happy and confident using energy hungry technology that it is one of only four countries in the EU which has registered an increase of energy consumption in the last four years.

That’s only half the story. It is the country which has registered the biggest increase in energy consumption over the past four years.

All the other countries in the EU registered a decrease because of the recession.

Estonia registered an increase of 4.8%, Poland an increase of 3.2 %, Belgium an increase of 0.1% and Malta a massive increase of 17%.

Meanwhile, Lithuania registered a decrease of 24.5%, Ireland and Greece a decrease of 12.3% each and Spain and the UK a decrease of 9.4% each.
