And here they are again, strolling around in Qui-Si-Sana while the POYC scheme goes “to de docks”

The health minister and Labour MP Marlene Farrugia, gazing at the sea at Qui-Si-Sana, Sliema this morning – another reader sent this in after seeing the other one of them walking along Tower Road.

    I got feeling they’re discussing the predicament of being a part of a Muscat Labour Party that has no respect for the country and its people or its parliament – PM is in London selling passports as if there is no need for parliament to first legislate in the proper way – and this whole passport scam was not in its electoral program – the Norman Vella saga – how helpless one feels with John Dalli effectively running his Ministry -but can we afford to leave politics and live decent lives?

    Kull darba li jsiefer Muscat, jibda l-inkwiet.

    Qed iberraq.

    What is Marlene doing? Taking a picture? Quick, arrest her! No, one moment, that’s not a criminal offence. Damn.

  5. Verita' says:

    Perhaps they are waiting for the hour to strike before popping in for coffee and a gossip with Astrid Vella (dik li tifhem f’kollox) who lives just up the road.

  6. Watchful eye says:

    Pondering whether they belong to where they are ?

    He’s saying: “X’għamilna b’idejna Marlene?”

  8. kram says:

    Is it possible they took some time off work to discuss where their relationship is going, especially with the recent criticism by Marlene of how the police acted in the case of Norman Vella?

    If the PYOC scheme only were going to the dogs, it wouldn’t be much of a problem. But having the general hospital fast approaching breaking-point…

    So apparently energetic and promising at first, this couple had an abrupt fall out and has lost political respect.

  11. Nighthawk says:

    A moment of reflection perhaps?

    “We picked the wrong side hon, Labour is still the same, 25 years later”

    Meanwhile my blood pressure and cholesterol pills are out of stock. At this rate, I`ll be long gone before PL get the drubbing they have earned come next elections.

    M’ghandux ghax jinkwieta, relaxed, ghax kollox under control.

    Nahseb li sejjer igib il-medicina out of stock bil-bahar.

    It’s not just the POYC scheme that’s going “to de docks”, it’s the whole effing country.

    Can anybody please point out to me what, within the last seven months, has not been:

    (1) abuse of power;

    (2) complete disregard for protocol, etiquette and/or best practice, to say nothing about the law;

    (3) snouts in the trough with doggy-bags to take home;

    (4) back room cloak and dagger deals which reek strongly of corruption and/or conflict of interest;

    (5) complete disregard for the best interests of the country;

    (6) waste of taxpayers money;

    (7) et cetera, et cetera… need I go on?

    I would be more than happy if somebody could point out anything positive/constructive this government has done which I may have missed..

    Eddy Privitera need not bother.

    The items used by many have been out of stock for months, imma hekk tajjeb ghax fl-istatistika jidru ftit u n-numri baxxi. Ghax ghal ministru n-numri izjed importanti mil-pazjent. Staqsu lin-nies hux moqdijin sew. U halluna.

  17. Louis Apap says:

    Sal-bieb tad-dar ser iwasslulna l-medicini b’xejn! U halluna. Fejnhu Eddy Privileggi? Dak zgur li ferhan (ghax bahnan) ghax dan kollu taht it-tmexxija tal-partit tieghu.

  18. maltija says:

    Apparently, pharmacists are now receiving most of the pills but in a much lesser quantity than required. So they’re not out of stock – for a few patients-while out of stock for others.

    As statistics are taken. if in store there is as much as one packet of any item, than it is not out of stock.

    It seems that for the ministry for health all that matters are the statistics and not the health of the patient as long as the dreaded phrase “out of stock” does not feature any more.
