Apologies for the change in subject but I just read this on Maltatoday:
“Farrugia explained that in order to fulfil his duties in the best possible way, he had severed all ties with the Labour Party and gave up his legal profession.
“In recent months I had a lot of time for reflection and I realised that I would be happier to give my all to the role, with complete loyalty and dedication to the highest of institutions.””
“In recent months”? That explains his mysterious silence after his “political murder” interview to The Times.
British sense of humour at its best.
Corrosive wit.
Attakk fahxi u moqziez fuq il-persuna ta’ Margaret Thatcher.
If you really do admire Thatcher, you should not say that this is brilliant! It is not.
[Daphne – Of course it is. It is perfectly possible to see that something is really witty even while you don’t agree with the sentiment expressed. They are two separate matters.]
In her case, “for dust you are / and to rust you will return” … oops, sorry!
“Baroness Thatcher had criticised David Cameron only a few months ago for not being ‘far enough behind’ Labour in the polls – because he ought to be pushing through unpopular policies.”

Certainly she had none of the thin skin many Maltese seem to have.
Joseph, it would be brilliant anyway whether it was referring to Maggie or to God Almighty.
I understand, but she has done so much for the economy in Britain, and more importantly she has done so much for freedom, democracy and the west in general.

The problem they have, is trying to convince the rest of us that they’re up to it.
I can understand the reason, why it had to be Farrugia and not Brincat himself as the minister responsible, is what creates this sort of ruckus. Pity.
She would have loved that!
This reminds me of when her bronze statue was unveiled at Westminster and she said;
‘I might have preferred iron but bronze will do’
Speaking of grave issues, here is a “cause of grave concern” from The Times:
“Such questionable and worrying decisions, taken so early in the new government’s term of officewithout any public consultation, putting developers’ interests before public health, the environment and the economy, were a cause of grave concern, they argued.”

This blog had said all this before, of course, but it is good to see that others share with us the same views. The moviment is slowly coming apart.
And there is this one also. Nature Trust and Din l-Art Helwa here.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130413/local/land-reclamaton-proposals-new-development-regulations-worry-environmental-ngos.465381
As correctly pointed out by the two NGOs, the Malta Labour Party government is reducing the extent of public consultation on environment and development matters.
This means that development decisions will be less transparent. So much for Labour’s campaign on accountability and transparency.
This is worrying indeed.
Too bloody late, isn’t it? They preferred to rely on the Audrey Harrison billboard and to take Muscat at face value. Many of the bleaters voted Labour. Now they”re reeling in shock. I have no sympathy for any of them.
What’s this? De Marco trying to earn brownie points?

It is called DEMOCRACY
You’re an enigma, which explains why so many Maltese, with their insular, monolithic mindset (despite the pretended intellectual exposure) fail to understand or grasp your logic.
The House’s rules, the Standing Orders need an overhaul, Farrugia added as he hinted at changes in the time allocation for MPs, which should move towards the European Parliament model which only allows deputies to address the Parliament for three minutes.
THREE MINUTES?
Welcome the dictatorship.
I would have welcomed this had it been applied to Franco Debono’s rants in Parliament.
More tribute to the enemy of socialism..

British humour, love it.
When the IRA blew up Louis Mountbatten: Rest in Pieces.
Now that is really sick, and not in the least bit funny.
It may be argued that some timesofmalta.com stories are being read more on this blog than on timesofmalta.com.
It’s actually Irish humour not British
Controversial political figures attract an equal amount of admiration and revulsion.
Rust in Peace?
impossible. She galvanised a nation.
She must have galvanised herself.
It might be clever but not too original. That’s the name of a 1990 Megadeth album – Rust in Peace
She was fiercely passionate about what she believed in. I don’t think the riots would have worried her one bit.
The world will never see a politician like her.
