In reply to albona. You got that right. Sitting here in the Great Canadian North kinda puts things in perspective.

When you put those two different point of views together this is what you get : China is aiming at selling electricity to Europe. And THAT is bloody serious.

I was about to eat my words regarding the Labour government dealing only with non-western countries when I saw the news about the USA opening an International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law in Valletta.

It seemed quite impressive that the government which was so reluctant about labelling Hizbollah a terrorist group a couple months ago was suddenly going after terrorists.

Then I found out the groundwork was created back in 2012 when the Nationalists were still in government.

Quite interesting that. A year after Malta (and the world) finally got rid of Gaddafi, the PN was hard at work establishing mechanisms never to have another carbon copy of him.

Nothing as conspicuous or vote-catching as gaining independence, establishing normality, getting rid of Alfred Sant or joining the EU but it goes to show that even when seriously down on its luck, the PN still had vision.

He is not happy with the current situation, or better calamity, of out of stock medicines.

So what does he do? He flees to his beloved China.

The prime minister is spending more time abroad doing deals which will never materialize with shady countries. Simply pathetic.

In reply to winston psaila. Well, you know, Malta IS the centre of the world. Many of us are in desperate need of a serious reality check.

Well, well, well. Having returned from his cruise, the prime minister will be spending most of this month in China and the United States.

In the G20 Summit meeting recently held in Russia, Britain was labelled by one of Putin’s representatives as ‘a small island that nobody listens to’.

This small island ruled over an empire so vast that the sun never set upon it. Over the years Spain and France were made to listen as did Germany and Argentina and to a lesser extent Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

On this side of the world our great Leader flexes his muscles, stamps his feet and makes Europe wake up to smell the coffee – as prime minister of an island that is just 17 miles by nine and with a population of 400,000.

His pearls of wisdom are sought by the Americans and the Chinese. Obviously our small island is not so small after all.

Honestly, what an inflated ego; how arrogant; how quixotic.

Labour’s policy has changed. From Switzerland in the Mediterranean it is now Province of China in the Mediterranean.

What will they give us for free this time? Rice, noodles?
