In reply to Jozef. Had a debate tonight at a dinner party. Topic? Predictions on timing of self-implosion.

I can’t agree with you more, Hmmm. There were many other such appointments to crucial positions.

How many times did we bring these up and were frowned upon and told that we were being absurd?

The government then made one step forward and was thrown six steps behind. But hey, we were told that we were in the wrong.

Oh how wrong they were. Now it’s come to bite them so bad that they can’t even face us when walking down the street.

What a pity – if only they bothered to listen and to open their eyes to what was staring them in the face.

In reply to Manhattan. Yes she is but at least she is qualified. Hopefully she'll prove to be some opposition to the likes of Sandro Chetcuti in his quest to ravage the country .

In reply to ciccio.

Maybe. Doesn’t mean anything to Joseph if his government will have a convicted criminal on one of its boards.

This thing is turning into a ‘people’s’ revolution. The only way it can survive is by the imposition, forceful at that, of its mentality.

Muscat’s movement cannot be criticised, it’s too easy, and at one point, given the insurmountable obstacles they’ll face, leading to gross error and consequent scandals, it won’t.

Just give it time.

Equivalent to the Lords’ chamber, Napolitano chose the finest to the perpetual posts. Merit, it seems, is still in fashion elsewhere.

Cattaneo’s the leading neurobiologist on degenerative diseases, Rubbia a nobel prize astrophysicist and Abbado led the Scala to what it is today.

Our Piano’s in good company.

Her direct supervisor was assistant director Silvio Farrugia, another Labour diehard. Ironically in her team she had answering directly to her the now CEO Johann Buttigieg, at the time Senior Planning Officer.

That architect, Piccinino, is a Labour diehard employed with the MEPA. Five years ago she was appointed Team Manager Major Projects, the most sensitive team within the MEPA. And then we wonder why certain things happened.

Malta is small and a measure of personal links are bound to crop up in committees etc., but the level reached under this administration amounts to what once was described as “incestuous relationship”, without implying any sexual activity.

With reference to the road rage issue that involved a US Embassy employee, the embassy took the correct measures.
It is evident that in Maltese Politics the opposite is practiced. You get rewarded by your political color and / or your use for the party. The words COMPETENCE and ACCOUNTABILITY must sound strange and alien to people in power. LOUDMOUTH seems to remind them of “Swan lake”.

Someday, somewhere, maybe things will change.

I like your last caption. It’s hilarious.
