In reply to H.P. Baxxter. In that case, a few crates of doughnuts, with compliments, might speed up the mass gains and aid implosion.

In reply to ciccio. Whether there was something illegal with that cash one cannot say. However if that amount represents earnings over a period of forty years from Manwel Mallia's legal profession and that same amount was stashed away or hidden from prying eyes it follows that Manwel Mallia never declared that amount over the years in his income tax returns.

Such glib answers may satisfy and even amuse Maltese electors who wear blinkers all the time, but they will register very negatively with foreign investors, diplomats and investors with whom he will have to deal.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

Baxxter, can’t see this guy surviving five years. Met him a number of times a few years ago. His ‘strut’ did not cover up for his lack of business sense. (or common sense).

I expect a self-implosion within a year. Aided and abetted by his ‘loyal’ followers.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

At Baxxter: Disagree, many people hate such jibes. Others don’t understand it, but pretend they do and soon hate pretending too.

Within two years this government will have serious internal cracks within the top office. The fissures are already being seen.

If only the cracks take a little longer to surface, it would implode before the election.

My concern is Simon Busuttil is still coming through as weak. Claudette Pace should speak mpre. Many may not like her but she can convey a message clearly and in simple language. It would take them a long way.

In reply to ciccio. Yes, but Francoise Hollande fired Jérôme Cahuzac the Budget Minister. What will Joseph do?

” Il-vera bniedem antipatiku. It is almost always people raised without siblings who end up like this, unless they have proper parenting, because the tendency towards such antipatija is usually thrashed out of a child by his or her siblings while growing up.”

That’s called the spoilt-child syndrome.

This is proof of how soceity has changed. Education and ethics are no longer important for Malta. We’re back to the ‘Golden Years’ where only the scratching of backs will take you places.

Antipatku Jew simpatiku, the point is that it is becoming sickening to have questions to MPs or even to the PM replied in this manner by reference to other recent or not so revent events. This is sheer arrogance and disrespect, pleasing only the silly crowd and reducing the matter to stupidity.

I was and am still hoping our politicians mature and provide straight and respectful replies. I beg our PM to lead by example.
