A naïve poser.

Next thing he’ll be writing about is his breakfast cereals, to avoid the embarrassment that he voted Labour to get a ‘cannolo’.

“She would have been miles better than Simon.”

And so would De Marco…! I will however only remain of this opinion if De Marco speaks freely irrespective of Busuttil’s position as leader of the opposition, Frankly, if Busuttil will not get the bull by his horns, someone else has to.

That said, I doubt that anyone, including Fenech, could really have challenged Busuttil’s popular appeal! On the one hand, he was hand picked by Gonzi (which in my books is sufficient reason to look elsewhere.) On the other, Busuttil has that glittery golden boy appeal.

Yet, like the floating voters who voted labour in, the PN Councillors have yet to learn that all that glitters is not gold.

And do note that notwithstanding the subject at hand, there is always an underlying sentiment of increasing disgruntlement about the lack of efficacy of the PN machine.

Oh yes. She voted No in the divorce referendum, but she was for the introduction of divorce legislation.

Some steel.

The truth is no one is better than Busuttil. Which gives you some idea of the absolute nadir of talent that is the Maltese political class.

I heard Dr. Ann Fenech speak yesterday and I was impressed by the steel behind her prim and proper voice. Frankly I wish she had accepted to run for party leader. She would have been miles better than Simon.

There’s no better way to self-medicate than start exercising, as for the petty cash, there were times when a lorry and a loudhailer sufficed.

He’s a friend of Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando. Was he there as well?

Jozef, I agree. Jason is up to the mark.

I vaguely remember his face AGREEING and lending his support to a certain Joseph Muscat on the irregular immigrants problem and nodding in submissive agreement to the said Joseph, when the latter ” assured ” him that certain procedures were being done transparently and correctly by the present administration. And the c_nt believed him.

It’s not so much about giving the government rope to hang itself, but more about showing that the opposition remains ever vigilant, that its heartfelt values of decades past when it believed that the truth will out (is-sewwa jirbah zgur!) still matter.

It is true that the PN was left in shambles by a spent team, and is now, trying to self-medicate. Perhaps, valuable resources may be looking inwards, rather than outwards. Yet, whilst the party is busy sorting out its petty cash box, a whole herd of elephants are stampeding through the same room. And as each elephant is ignored, opportunites are lost.

Had PL been in opposition, the present government would have been crucified by the party’s machine. Instead, we have Daphne who seems to be the only investigative journalist and who is doing what PN should, even though it is clear that she is not out to do the PN’s job, but merely her own.

I am disgusted by government methodology as I am by the opposition’s complacency.
