From what I heard he has been asked to resign as Vice President of DLH.

Malta Taghna Lkoll. Kif tista temmen li intom il-Laburisti temmnu fis-slogan taghkom stess? Inkreddibli dan il-kumment. Bil-qalb nivvota PN.

Where on earth did you get the idea that Martin Scicluna belongs to ‘the nobility and British Army officer class’ or that he is an ‘aristocrat or Sandhurst officer’?

He does not and is not.

His professional army training in the UK was not at Sandhurst acadamy – as was that of leading officers who have occupied the post of Colonel or Brigadier in the AFM.

His ‘aristocracy’ consists mainly in pontificating on subjects of which he has the barest knowledge and the most personal interest.

I used to follow his articles in The Times several months ago – and never found anything enlightening besides small-mind concepts repeated practically ad nauseam.

I cannot say that he actually needs to grow up one day – an octogenarian with a mind-set like his never will.

DLH should have him removed from Vice President.

An NGO undermines its credibility when it engages in partisan party politics. Having a prominent post at DLH, his writings could be construed to represent those of the NGO. With his articles during an election campaign, Scicluna has done a disservice to DLH.

@drattax prosit eh x’ragunament dak. Sa fejn naf jien ahna nghixu go pajjiz demokratiku mhux in-North Korea.

His reasoning becomes more erratic once you read the subsequent opinion piece of last Wednesday, where he implies that he is voting against Austin Gatt, whereby Austin Gatt is no longer on the PN ticket.

Yes Mr. Scicluna, contractors, hunters and public land squatters should also have their place in the sun according to your reasoning. It`s their turn to rule now if the PL gets to power.

I am seriously beginning to believe that the PL may lose these elections yet again.

I am disgusted at Mr Scicluna. By writing that column he showed no respect for Din L-art Helwa, the organisation he has been a council member of for years and who he has become synonymous with.

Din l-art Helwa is a respectable institution that has a policy of not getting involved in partisan politics and as its Vice President mr Scicluna should have been more discreet about his own thoughts.

Having said that I think his column was self-serving. His self-appointment to the chair of a think-tank which he set up says a lot about him.

He obviously has an opinion, expects to ram it down our throat and anyone who dares has a different one is rubbished.

He has no place to express an opinion on living in Malta today as compared to the ’70s and ’80s when he has had no experience of it. Reading a bunch of reports from a distance is not quite the same thing. I spent my entire childhood and adolescence under that Labour government and instill recall the feeling of uncertainty and fear that rules the day.

Mr Scucluna it is time to retire. Please leave us in peace.
