We will let them think we are going to cut off both their hands.

Then we will tell them we are going to cut off only one.

And they will not only thank us, but will say that we are kind and generous.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So we have Mario Vella head of Malta Enterprise and Mario Cutajar head of the Civil Service. 

Both men are committed communists. 

Since, as the Maltese saying goes, &#039;il-borma fuq tlieta toqghod&#039;, there is HMS Brazen&#039;s own AST dictating foreign policy. So nice. 

Which department is Joe Vella Bonnici going to head? 

Malta taghna llkoll, as long as you&#039;re Old School Labour.

The slogan was perfect.

					<description><![CDATA[This, and more, is Mario Vella for you.

“They contrast the enthusiasm and activity of 96-98 with the desolation and utter absence of any sign of life especially since the announcement of something called Malta Enterprise.”

&quot;There are many Labour supporters who feel that in 96-98 we did not do enough for the victims of Nationalist discrimination during 87-96. Indeed they accuse us of having placed too much energy on a policy of national pacification in the public sector and of having neglected their expectation of swift and fair resolution of their claims.”

&quot;This government&#039;s pompous style lends itself well to humour. The Labour media needs to induce audiences to laugh at this government. A government that is laughed at is one that will eventually be laughed out.&quot;

Moreover, I cannot emphasise this enough, in 2008 the Nationalist leadership, cabinet and all, will be ancient.&quot;
