Why is it that the PS for the elderly involved in this, is he promoting diving for senior citizens?

But no. Maltese Journalists are only mere reporters nowadays.

I’m quite sure this includes architects fees, project management fees for construction projects, etc . Such fees are often bundled as “consultancy fees”.

I’m not impressed by the PN’s slumber.

I think you, single handedly, are doing a far better job than Simon Busittil and “teamPN” put together.

It is becoming evidently clear that this government is afraid of taking bold decisions. It is trying to involve everyone, but decisions always leave victims.

Can you imagine the “Cabinet meeting on Tuesday will be held at Marsaxlokk, and will include the participation of the Marsaxlokk council and the mayors of the surrounding areas.”

So now we have the absurd situation where the village mayors will be attending cabinet meetings while the Labour Party MP’s (back benchers) are not invited.

What a bunch of clowns.

In comparison Saatchi&Saatchi pale into insignificance.

The talk of the town is currently politika mahmuga, nuqqas ta’ demokrazija u kollox isir minn taht.

Hence the poster and the slogan.
