In reply to old-timer. It would seem that quite a lot of PN supporters are still reeling after such a battering. Calm down. Do not spread any more hatred as it might come back to haunt you [Daphne - I can't speak for my readers, Norman, but I'm actually having a lovely time. 'Spreading hatred', eh? Bit of a cultural gulf here, I suspect. Might I suggest that you crack open a couple of beers and unwind watching Super One. But if you want something really positive, download a couple of Lucille Ball shows from the Fifties.]

In reply to Snoopy. If Anglu Farrugia has risen from the dead, why shouldn't John Bencini rise to the occasion?

John Bencini betrayed us teachers. He took the MUT out of the CMTU and joined the Forum without any consultation whatsoever.

He is not a man to be trusted.

While he worked for EU membership 10 years ago, probably he expected something in return, which he didn’t get and thus he preferred to join forces with rich pilots and protest against the electricity tariffs while ignoring the problems that we teachers face in our sector.

The meeting should have been boycotted – in principle.

I’m sorry I have no sympathy now. Let them have Bencini, who’s not even presentable. La krewha joqghodu ghaliha. They should have seen it coming.

Mhux huma ivvutawlu? I’m sorry but I cannot stand people whining as though the Prime Minister elected himself. The PN had said that this would happen but it got labelled as “negative”.

A swing of 19,000 must have included so many members of the organisations represented on MCESD

So he’s not up to it but may rise to the occasion? Was there nobody already capable of doing the job in the vaunted meritokrazija?

Rise to the occasion?

That comment in itself shows the Muscat himself has no faith in the man but was forced to appoint him in return of services rendered.
