You can start with this video interview: http://www.bloomberg.com/video/pissarides-sees-disastrous-implications-in-cyprus-VK1czcItQtSwS~mqr3_T5A.html (the professor pukes better in the latter half).

Here, Mr Pissarides explains what the EU elite group meant when they told Cyprus that it’s too small to act as a financial centre. You see, in this new soviet-structured monolith only Frankfurt, London and Paris are worthy of dealing with finance. Serf states like Malta and Cyprus should stick to ġbejniet and feta cheese….

… and how that dot appeared on the g of ġbejniet… there it goes again! Mhux nejk ir-Runny Nosebook! Kellha bzonn kienet hekk il-Maltafly.

Allow me to disagree with your last sentence.

Mr Camilleri possesses wide experience of public finance and administration policies. He was one of the best statisticians in the Civil Service at least in the past 20 years, and has worked hand-in-hand with Dr Gonzi and Tonio Fenech – contributing in his way to the success of Malta’s financial position. I think the new Government asking him to continue in the post is one – if not the only – sane decision taken by it.

ara l-ispelling tieghek qabel tiftah halqek, mister.

Scicluna is an academic economist and has no place in international politics. He will be eaten alive. Unfortunately, as our ‘Finance Minister’, so will we.

According to my sources, the international financial bloodhounds are already sniffing Maltese blood, as they weigh up the last three weeks’ shameful shenanigans.

Mila is not a pole – she’s Ukrainian.

Cardona hopes to create work by visiting every single factory on the island and Scicluna is trembling at the prospect of Malta ending up like Cyprus, attracting attention from the international press with his silly remarks and endangering Malta’s financial sector in the process.

In this very delicate situation where the PL government could wreck havoc on our economy, Tonio Fenech may be the best choice for PN leader since he knows exactly in what state he handed over the economy and he can make sure that the opposition keeps the government in constant check.

Totally agree with your sentiment. However, too late. We’re on a toboggan run now (can only go down on a toboggan run) with a useless, inexperienced pilot and no brakeman.

If a minister cannot get one sentence right without spellin mistakes then we are really in the pits. Il-kelba qamet qabli (from qabel) not qabbli. Qabbel is something else.
