Speaking for myself I am totally dependent on your blog to find out all about the murky activities of this pittance of a government.

Unless that means that they’ll spend everything on the few at the top and have nothing for the mutitudes at the bottom? You know it’s more efficient to write one big cheque than a thousand small ones.

Today we have to consider ourselves lucky that we came to know about this from just one website.

So that the police do not stop you by mistake.

In case of trouble, you will actually be escorted out of the problem area, whatever it is and whatever reason you ended up there.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

“To scrutinise, to evaluate, to challenge and to hold the government accountable for its actions, in the interest of creating a fair balance of power that does not infringe on the democratic processes and safeguards”, as the House of Lords defined the role of the opposition many years ago.

There are so many “minor infringements” that they are making a collective “big scandal”. Yet the opposition is dormant. The big guns are asleep. And the roughshod march of government on collective freedom continues unabated.

History reserves nothing but utter contempt for appeasers. Eddie Fenech Adami is such a political giant in Malta because he provided a strong opposition to government.

Every single one abuse, every single one misdeed, every single one offence, every single one frame-up, every single one undeserved promotion or nomination, every single one infringement, every single bending of the rules, is ONE TOO MANY and will embolden the offender. If one gets away with an irregularity, then one will try for a bigger irregularity next time. That is human nature in its perverse form.

The nationalist grassroots and the nationalist voters should hold their representatives to account and demand they either speak up or shut up and slink away, as the cowards and useless waste of space that they are.

Mrs. Caruana Galizia is doing far more then they are collectively to hold the government to task, but she does not enjoy the national podium that they (the Opposition MPs) do. What she says isn’t widely reported by the local media. But if Simon Busuttil (Simon who?) does, then he has a far better chance of exposure.

The post of leader of the opposition isn’t to foment national reconciliation or to be nice, co-operative, helpful and positive to government. That is the role of government. The role of the opposition is quite the opposite (opposition, hint anyone?) – it is to be inquisitive, challenging and opposite to government policies that it believes are not in the interest of the country.

If the opposition acquiesces and “goes along” with government that it is spectacularly failing to fulfil the role it is paid for by taxpayers. In that case, they are not fulfilling their role and should be held to task and asked to move out and give their places up to people with gall.

Unlikely. Why would he keep his old number plates if by returning them he would not pay any road licence and insurance?
