And sometimes a coalition of allies, if they haven’t all been bought off or disabled.

Not to put any spokes in any wheel, but his immediate Guido crowd had loads of Eurovision lobbying experience. Just a question of updating oneself I imagine, for which personal presence is the only thing that does the trick.

Look at his master Joseph, there he was (with the VIPs) following the B’Kara-Hibernians decider match a week ago. Isn’t that also a way of being “qalb in-nies”?

The irony is that after all the moaning about our country’s dire circumstances created by GonziPN, they feel so cosy and comfortable to find the time to attend such inanities.

It is said that one can judge a government by its first 100 days. In our case these have so far been marked by electoral paybacks and the creation of committees and boards to study and propose changes to the previous government’s projects.

Meanwhile, judging by the Renzo Piano project, everything will eventually remain the same. But at least JM would be seen as having tackled the projects which he used to criticise while in Opposition.

To make myself clear about the Piano project: First Joseph said it was inadequate and changes had to be made. To show off his boldness he even visited Piano’s atelier while he was in Paris recently (to attend a Joseph Calleja concert btw. These people can be quite sophisticated, culturally speaking of course!)

A couple of weeks later we get a publicised presentation by one of Piano’s architects in which it is explained that (among other things) the project is in such an advanced state that it is next to impossible to make any changes…

So there you have it. Wasn’t it Evarist B himself that remarked about his own party that “the more I see change around me, the more things remain the same!”?

This farce of a government can’t go on forever. Not even Mintoff’s popular adulation lasted more than 10 years because by 1981 he was already rejected by the majority of the electorate!

Can Muscat, by any stretch of the imagination, be compared to Mintoff who reigned supreme in far different circumstances than today’s?

Awesome remark

Do the Vikings still pose a national security threat in the Mediterranean?

Where does he wear his spangles? Is it THERE?

Good for them!
