Yes, he is. 

His books are probably the only decent pieces of literature in Maltese language. But leave that aside...

There are little facts about his politician&#039;s because he jumped ship. This was not desertion but a heroic act by someone who deemed his mission impossible.

His proposal of the Swiss model was not naive, but it was mocked despite being left unexplored. Obviously, the Gahan Malti couldn&#039;t see beyond the Emmental and the Alps. Stating that Malta was not prepared for Europe was very true on many levels. After all, how on earth can you integrate a quasi-African nation whose population is &#039;2/3  chavish&#039; with the Europeans? 

As to Bondi, I did say that from the little I&#039;ve seen, he gave me a strong impression that he is a sort of cocky middle-school boy. Why on earth Jason and him are part of the Valletta 2018 committee is beyond me. Wasn&#039;t (the world famous musician) Wayne Marshall meant to be part of that committee? Embarrassing!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[X&#039;ma johodhiex bi kbira Joe Grima.   Kieku kien hu x&#039;kien jghamel tghid?  Minn Guest post li kellek f&#039;Awwissu:

&quot;After the government had declared in Parliament that all the tourist guides who had sat for their licence examination had passed, a strike was called of public sector employees. 

Minister of Tourism Joe Grima (you’ll be aware of who this one is, because he stars now on Super One) had then sent for the results of the exam and they were doctored, one by one. 

All the examination candidates who had taken part in the strike – about 200 of them – were shown as ‘failed’, and all those who had not taken part were shown as ‘passed’. One of the ‘failed’ candidates, Anna Camilleri, took the matter to court and won a Constitutional case.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t usually comment on posts that deal with public personalities&#039;  physical attributes and am not quick to judge why people are at times obese. 

I am aware that genes and various factors can prevent a person who eats moderately from losing weight. 

However, this photo is both shocking and incriminating. Anybody who is so grossly obese should not be seen at a McDonalds. 

The man needs to check into a weight-loss clinic and take his health seriously, more so if he insists on remaining in the spotlight. He has a duty to look somewhat smart. 

This picture is just disturbing. The fat is all around the mid-section and presumably the organs. I sincerely hope Joe Grima reads this blog, takes stock of his appearance and the health implications, and takes action.]]></description>
