In reply to It-Tezi ta' Mario. If Nair was serious, his reputation solid, everything above-board and the ethics and objectives clean, it's the daily rate or part thereof that should be a €6,000 minimum with a high-level British consultant.

In reply to Gaetano Pace. Useful also to notice how some of Joseph Muscat Tweets are worded. I recognise the style, and the vocabulary.

Have you ever needed talcum and asked the chemist for an ice cube ? Who was it that was grammatically wrong and thought that block meant a block of ice ? Who was it that mistook white powder for dust ? Is it then a wonder that someone does not know if a man is black listed or not ? Is it a wonder that in a day`s time we will be told case closed ? The litany of questions goes on and on. Someone must be colour blind not recognising WHITE powder and BLACK list. Surprise surprise.

In reply to A.Charles. People born post-1999 have got ID card numbers ending in 'L'.

Finance Minister in Washington for World Bank, IMF meeting:

Maybe the Minster should ask about the status of his government’s energy consultant.

In reply to Gowzef.

“With programs like these, Europe is losing its credibility,” says Birgit Sippel, security and migration policy spokeswoman for the parliamentary group of Germany’s center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD).

Interesting to note that the PL’s German socialist partners in the Party of European Socialists (PES) are not too keen on the idea of selling citizenship. How long is it going to take the PES to kick the PL out? What place does a National Socialist party have in the PES ask?

In reply to Lorry. His job is to stay close and make the chubby, middle-aged prime minister look young and svelte.

You have got to hand it to him though. Managing to get all these top shots working for him for free or for next to nothing is no mean feat.

John Dalli is the hospital consultant pro bono. His daughter assisting him for free. There are others which I’m not bothering to list. And then there’s Mr. Nair, a consultant with connections to governments offering his services for, ‘Jekk miniex sejjer zball’ Eur6000.

Now compare that to evil GonziPN. They used to pay more than one and a half times that amount to ‘In-Nemusa’ for his services as a public convenience attendant in Spinola. Pure genius Joseph, pure genius.

Never in the history of the world have so many lies been fed to so many people using so few words. Sorry, dear Winston. Iraq’s own ‘Comical Ali’ did not manage to tell so many lies in one press conference. This boy from Burmarrad is truly amazing.

In reply to A.Charles. I think I saw ID card numbers ending with an L. [Daphne - L is the new letter, with the Ms all used up. So they're all children so far.] There should be a special letter for those who buy their citizenship.

In reply to Jozef. He is not, he just looks that way, larger than life.
