I’m sorry to post out of contest, but I just wanted to reassure Mr. Silvio Scerri that although I did not know who he was 6 months ago, now I can recognise him anywhere.

One would think that all government entities fell under the banner of public interest. One therefore questions how this individual could be on a government-appointed board, when he clearly would not have passed the Due Diligence process on account of these financial problems.

So much for doing things properly – the only thing Muscat is doing properly is bankrupting this country.

He discharged an employee claiming this person was incompetent, and was taken to the Industrial Tribunal, which had declared that the discharge of the employee was unjust and Frank Portelli had to pay financial compensation to this person.

He stormed into St Luke’s Hospital posturing as the new minister of health.

But Fenech Adami appointed someone else and had the foresight not to give him a cabinet post. And that was when the seeds of disgruntlement were sowed, Frankie Tabone style.

Labour deserve him.

Give me a hundred straightforward (irgiel ta` veru) Laburisti but not a piece of a turncoat or Judas.

Please, dan ir-ragel tefa’ iktar minn 100 idea x’jista’ jsir biex titjieb il-kura primarja u jirranga l-organizazzjoni tal-isptar Mater Dei (ma qalilniex jekk dawn l-idejat kienux hadmu fl-isptar St Philip’s!).

Il-punt tieghi hu li J Dalli BA (li ghandna nifhmu qatt m’ezamina pazjent) ghandu jiehu nota ta’ dawn il-100 idea u possibilment jinvolvi li (Dr) Frank Portelli biex isolvi l-problemi li qed tiffaccja M L Coleiro (jew Godfrey Farrugia?) li hi/hu responsabbli minn Mater Dei.
