I left Union Press in April 2003 and that is why I said “as myself” not for Martin Bugelli. The sentence I admit is not clear of what I intended to say. I hope that it is clear now.

In reply to Martin Bugelli. I wish to confirm what my friend Martin Bugelli said. He was never employed with L-Orizzont or Union Press. It was I who was Sub-Editor of L-Orizzont and Journalist with Union Press. When I congratulated Martin when he became Director of Information there was a mistake because I did not put "(myself)" probabbly because went over the number of charactors allowed in the Times comments section.

Norman is admired for his straightforward style. I won’t bother watching it if he’s not hosting.

In reply to QahbuMalti.

Dear Sir/Madam

That sheds light on the source of the factual inaccuracy. On my appointment at DOI, Dr John Zammit, HIMSELF a former editor of L-Orizzont and founder member of the Press Club, posted that comment to congratulate me. Since I know both him and myself, I had understood what he meant straight away, notwithstanding the room for improvement in the grammatical structure of the sentence.

I have replied once again just for the correctness of the record, and hope that it is now clear. The relevance of myself having been mentioned in this context is perhaps not so clear and I will not be commenting further on this matter.

Regards

Martin Bugelli

Mr Vella’s questions and observations always seem to be those of Joe Public, not particularly intelligent, but neither very stupid.

And maybe that is why he has been removed. They might be too close to what the average viewer would ask and think, hence a threat to Labour.

In reply to Spettatur.

But that’s it really, your average bloke isn’t welcome.

Whether Vella’s the 50 percentile, or if at least that’s his projection, shouldn’t make him at all unacceptable.

Says a lot about Labour’s curious predicament with public opinion. It’s Bundy’s skint, shallow condescendence from now on.

Dovetails perfectly with Joseph’s vision. Complements, obscures, the obtuse mental limits.
