They&#039;re already out with it. They did not mention Gonzi, but someone from the previous government, who underhandedly put Malta in a bad light with the EU.

Joseph and Co must have lost their &quot;positive&quot; somewhere along the way, as all they are doing is uncovering &quot;scandals&quot; carried out by the PN.

Another &quot;clever&quot; move by Joseph? Keeping his dim-wits angry with the PN, that way they won&#039;t realise how incompetent he is?]]></description>

That&#039;s it. Just because they find it so easy to impress the simple and non sophisticated locals, they must have come to the conclusion that they can do the same outside of Malta.

Must be very frustrating to learn otherwise, no wonder all the venom emerging from them, locally of course.]]></description>

So the banks have starting calling the loans. That&#039;s an interesting development. How long did it take for the Spanish economy to implode? Three years? I think we can kiss goodbye to V18 and all that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This guy really doesnt know how the international market operates.

If one yells &#039;sell&#039; in the stock exchange, you hear the rest selling just as fast. Once 10 sell, the other 10 suggest their clients to sell, who in turn trigger others to sell... and so forth.

Is this guy chickening out already? Where is the &#039;experience&#039; he was bluffing about on his political mailshots? This is the &#039;economist&#039; that labour has? Whats with all this moaning and groaning.... just like an old-person to attract attention.

Why is he always on the brink of a breakdown during his interviews and press-meetings?  It was easier whilst in Opposition... now when it comes to do the REAL work... he&#039;s already wetting his pants.

Don&#039;t ever forget the Leader of the Movement for Malta Ghall-Laburisti Biss, hasn&#039;t got the gift of foresight. He only notices events after they happen. Heq, give him a chance - he&#039;s been in government for only two months. The trouble is that when matters get really bad we&#039;ll be going down with him. 

As for Edward Scicluna, as with most Laburisti and switchers, he must have thought that all the benefits that we enjoyed just fell out of the sky like manna. Now Scicluna is facing the real world and it&#039;s very different to then world of theory and comment.]]></description>

The worst part is, ultimately, the recent recession boils down to a matter of trust. It&#039;s very easy - and a real shame - for all that the PN has accomplished since 2008 to keep us afloat to be pulled down by the PL in less than a year because of their lack of credibility. 

Oh, but someone wanted to give them a go because things were apparently bad with foreigners so enamoured with our finances and willing to invest. Shame on you, indeed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It all boils down to the fact that the only change in the last PN budget as reproposed by the PL was the ommission of taxes collected by Enemalta. This changed what would have been a positive ending to 2012 finances to a negative one.

No doubt this was done to show the outgoing PN government in a bad light but now it has boomeranged, and in a big way.

Not seeing it coming is, of course, the worse part of it.]]></description>
