I wonder why.. I wonder how….

It’s anti-constitutional. The permanent secretaries are appointed by the president, not the prime minister.

Alfred Camilleri’s resignation wasn’t accepted.

No surprises there.

Caffe’ Cordina’s tuna toast is addictive. It’s Francolicious.

That is one of the side effects of Prozac. And by the way all 4 of them have put on weight not just Franco.

He just overeats and doesn’t take enough exercise. Stop finding excuses for him.

[Daphne – I flicked between that and Xarabank, so ended up watching both in part only.]

I missed it but have been told that they were utterly despicable and this from people who have a good sense of what is right and wrong.

Apparently your post above simply doesn’t do justice the hiding that they should get.

JPO in particular, apparently really excelled in lying through his teeth about certain goings on in the PN. I am not getting personal, since he has made such a public spectacle of himself, when I say that the man (if you can call him that) is absolute trash.

I knew him before he was exposed on the Mistra deal when he was posturing as an environmentalist. The extent of his deceit surpasses anything I have ever come across in my life. I speak to everyone, but when I see him I look the other way, as the urge to punch him may just be too great.

If there was any sense of decency about any one of these guys, they should have just stayed home rather than continue with the mudslinging. Shame also on Bundy for putting on this programme under the pretext of political analysis.

Shame also on Joseph Muscat for allowing this to happen whilst claiming that his is a positive message. Letting others do the mudslinging is just as bad as doing it yourself when you are the leader.

If there is anything that this past legislature showed is that loyalty is a very precious quality and not one to be taken lightly. We have seen disloyalty take many shapes and forms.

The likes of JPO and Frankie Tabone are the paramount examples of this. However, one could even contend that certain Cabinet ministers also showed a certain level of disloyalty by keeping a very low profile in this campaign so as to disassociate themselves from the losing team.

This is why for the forthcoming election for leader, I am supporting Simon Busuttil should he throw his hat in the ring. He has proved his loyalty by jumping on a sinking ship when the easiest thing for him to do is to continue to enjoy his job in Brussels with all its perks, distance himself from all the ugliness and the disappointment of the loss and then come riding in after the defeat.

I only hope that the current onslaught against him from those who have an interest to keep him out of the ring does not dissuade him.

He has what it takes to be a great leader especially with the right team behind him. He may be short but so was Napoleon and what he lacks in height he makes up for in terms of knowledge.

He also truly listens which is one of the things PN was criticised about. Sure there are things that he can do to improve but if he had the right team backing him as Vici and Sec Gen, he has what it takes to rejuvenate the Nationalist Party.

Some anti-depression pills cause weight gain.
He must be taking quite a heavy dose.
