In this way no time nor material is wasted while the product/service remains of good quality for purpose and expenditure is retained at what is actually necessary for that kind of work.

So every piece of work is measured, calculated and costed.

It is something that people in Government and those working in the Public Sector cannot come to terms with.

Their argument is that, while the work of industry can be measured and calculated, the work of government businesses cannot be measured nor calculated.

But then they know how to reduce 25% of their inefficiency, meaning that the know , somehow, how to calculate their 100%.

But the greatest motivation in having a government job is how to start work late and, to compensate, finish early and to hell with efficiency.

Wait for John Dalli to tell Hospital employees at the Out Patient Department that they are paid to work full day not half days.

That will bring about efficiency while the service remains excellent.

A political election has become like a 5-year Eurovision Song vote. (Incidentally Malta started participating there since Mintoff’s election in 1971 – more or less.)

There are those who vote for the singer (because he’s one of us and if he wins ‘we’ will (somehow) win too!).

Then there are those who ‘vote’ for the song.

In a way it explains why Labour can (almost) get away with murder, while the Nationalists’ mistakes are blown out of proportion.

How much gold and silver would need to be pooled in this time to earn a modern day Notabile and for the real Maltese spirit to flourish? This opportunism is getting claustrophobic.

Don’t give the socialists any ideas. They might slap you with a tax for not using your home between 7am and 7pm as an “incentive” to rent it out, in order to create “economic growth” as set out in the roadmap.

Socialists put a price for everything , Nationalists value everyone and everything.

Can you please define ‘justice’ because, considering that the government has not yet issued its ‘enhanced and revised dictionary of terms’ where meritocracy, transmitting pornography, corruption and social justice for example, have all acquired new meaning, we need some help here.

There’s Lou Bondi as well in that picture, looking at the floor, as if he wants the earth to swallow him up.
