					<description><![CDATA[And yet we have a PM who on twitter, retweets the following post by Glen Bedingfiled to try make a mockery of the situation:

&quot;Inkjesta fuq pastizz - its not a new novel by Alfred Sant but the latest request by Simon Busuttil&quot;

A 22 year old was assaulted and our PM cracks a joke about it. If you don&#039;t believe this, please visit his Twitter page and scroll down to the 4th August. If you provide an email address I could send you a screen shot.

Paranoia appears to be catching.

By the way, when someone in the position of JPO and FD is spotted drunk at is-Serkin in the early hours of the morning, there is a huge chance that someone will take their photo. This is not a place where you can get lost in the crowd and their behaviour did not befit their position. 

And when there is an incident like the one which took place, there is an even greater chance that said photos would be sent to a blogger who would not be afraid to publish them. No conspiracy necessary. But discretion by JPO, FD and their friends - that would be necessary and desirable.]]></description>

I am afraid that, most probably, you are right. His current public tweeting with a ship&#039;s captain on such an important issue as people saved at sea, has nothing of the dignity of a prime minister .

Erm, which is exactly why now&#039;s a perfect opportunity. 

Long term strategy means building a real alternative, and that doesn&#039;t mean an electoral result in five year&#039;s time. 

Labour&#039;s failure to provide productive work will see to it. The problem remains essentially the same. 

If it&#039;s true that ministries have become supermarket employment agencies and Castille has a special desk centralising all manner of queues previously found at minister&#039;s constituencies, it will happen sooner than we think. 

Heard Scicluna or Grech lately?]]></description>
