Opinion poll
Do you think the slogan ‘Malta Taghna Lkoll’ is being put into practise by the New Government?
Yes, definitely
Yes, but some more effort needed
No
Still too early to say

Based on what has been witnessed over the past two weeks, I think it would have been appropriate to add a fifth option:

Who the f**k were we kidding?

And that makes Muscat the most insipid prime minister this country ever had.

Meanwhile, taken off Facebook this evening:

“Dr Anglu Farrugia drives to Valletta and parks in the MPs parking slot. People bring to his attention that he cannot do that and he answers ‘I am the speaker of the house'”

But they are not going to remain so for long.

And then they hate Bondi+, the only programme on Maltese TV which is positive.

Another commission? What the hell…

Whose work is it going to be, the commission’s or Mario’s?

Are the commission members to be paid as well? In that case, Dr. Gonzi really left the finanzi fis-sod.

I have just finished reading an excellent article in today’s New York Times entitled ‘When hope tramples truth’, by Roger Scruton.

The pertinent sentence is: ‘Those who interrupt the good cheer of their fellows with the thought that the things about which all agreed might go badly wrong are either dismissed as madmen or condemned as fools’.

Hmm. Do we have a match here?
