Lino Spiteri tells us in his latest column that Muscat walks tall and has grown in stature. Oh, how wrong he was.

What sort of leadership is this?

Can you see the prime minister summoning Dalli, as he should already be doing right now, and demanding his resignation?

Can you see Dalli stepping down of his own volition?

It is no in both cases.

Lino Spiteri couldn’t have chosen a worse morning to tell us how Muscat has grown in stature to fill the role of prime minister (he really has not) and that the government’s image problem is all because of “some ministers”.

What is important to Muscat is the Labour voters who are perpetually blocked out of the real world by semi-literacy, illiteracy and by ONE news media. Muscat will only go for a wait-and-see strategy, with suitable soundbites for One media.

But what a come-uppance for the smug switchers who can read. There hasn’t been any let-up since Muscat was elected.

There’s so much egg on so many faces they could make a record-breaking omelette.

What price transgender marriage now, with Malta’s most notorious man on the front page of the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times, moving millions about in the Bahamas ‘for friends’ and lying about his whereabouts to his EU bosses, while sitting at the right hand of Malta’s prime minister as his consultant, adviser and unelected health minister?

    Wrong? Not if compared to his own.

  2. P Shaw says:

    Aren’t Lino Spiteri and John Dalli very close friends? He even mentioned him in his autobiography a few years back.

    • Tabatha White says:

      Would John Dalli do this for Gaddafi? Would he involve his daughters? Where is the greater interest? I think the money is all Maltese.

      I think what we are seeing here is a massive money laundering/tax evasion operation.

      Would he mention Africa and charity when he’s normally so tight-lipped and evasive? Would it not be to plant misinformation or make us think ‘oh that’s all right then’?

  3. La Redoute says:

    Why hasn’t anyone called Muscat yet for his comments? Please don’t tell me that coconut Farrugia’s too busy to take calls on his boss’s behalf. They could always doorstep Michelle Muscat in Burmarrad. Doesn’t she usually deputise for her husband?

  4. Catsrbest says:

    Most probably Dalli’s story is going to justify the US’s spying over the EU, if they can show that they were the ones to uncover Dalli’s filth and lies.

  5. Wilson says:

    There is no guile, just gullible.

  6. Min Jaf says:

    And one further aspect to all this. Lino Spiteri and John Dalli regularly snacked together at Portomaso Cafe till fairly recently, so one cannot expect any adverse comment from that direction.

  7. bob-a-job says:

    Someone once told me that when Lino Spiteri gave up active politics many of his supporters were transferred onto Dalli, or perhaps they went of their on accord.

    In truth, if one wants one’s nose in the trough, who cares whom the trough belongs to.

    I don’t know the details but probably Clyde Puli would know much more about this story.

  8. Meritocracy Rules says:

    After years of trying to come across as being moderate, Lino’s true colours have come forth. Particularly the colour on his nose – it is so brown from all the time it has spent up Joseph Muscat’s behind. I don’t think anyone has stooped as low as he has in his bid to be the new President.
