Comments on: Let’s get this straight: it’s not because he’s diehard Labour. It’s because he’s wholly unfit for purpose.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Is that where you got your handlebar moustache? A remnant of your 1970s flares n' disco days? R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Seriously,someone should take on the laborious task of identifying the kind of alegiances government appointed officials have/had with the present/previous government.

Chances are that it will result that most appointees under this administration were involved up to their necks in party affairs( eg commissioner of police) whilst in the previous one, most if not all, were passive sympathizers, if that.

It irks me when both parties are tarred with the same brush.

It doesn’t surprise me when the likes of Lino Spiteri subscribe to this theory, but it does when people who should know better are of the same mind.

He’s a travel agent with no diplomatic experience or training. Is this the best that Malta can do? Also, he’s too old. Not impressed.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Hey Baxxter! Go easy on the seventies. Had hair down to my shoulders, grew my own grass in Montreal, worked as chief economist for Bell Canada, and was mugged by the cops who thought I was FLQ. Don't think this twit would have fit in. We had a thing about commies.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Maybe that's because he was a 1970s Soho spiv.

Thank you, Gel. What a recollection. How very true your account and what a very pleasant memory.

A few of that group are still alive and kicking. Allow me to suggest that Clive’s favourite stage was on the backrest of a double-bench, and this, in front of the Chalet after the manager pulled the big switch for the night.

Those were the days that were. Wonder what he kind of schooling has been entered in his CV.

In reply to Natalie. A geriatric with the hair and glasses of a 1970s Soho spiv. Nice going, Malta. He could star in Sexy Beast II - The Prequel.

Well Gel, I too remember him in London in the late 60s early 70s before he got that call from Joe Grima after Labour hijacked Rediffusion.

So with credentials like that he will surely do a good job as our High Commissioner in London.
