I am not sure that a comparison with Mintoff is adequate. Mintoff was crude and dictatorial, but Muscat is going further by showing such contempt for the truth that he cannot but be found out, sooner rather than later, by any reasonable person.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#039;t at the same dinner table but I was at the same restaurant at the same time and saw Muscat and Nair at table together with their wives. I know who Nair is and that is why I recognised him.

It was most definitely a social evening and not business - an evening planned with their wives. Nor was it meant to be covert, because they were in full view of everyone at a very full restaurant. ]]></description>

Yes, he has.  Even if they are being applied improperly to the extreme. If he is not a proper thinker, he is an improper one.

A closer connection to the French root meaning of &quot;improper&quot; would apply.

Take the concept of annealing into consideration. The process is normally referred to in the strengthening of metal: heating, hammering, shaping and reheating.  Repeating the process, under extreme temperatures.

Ask any chemistry graduate what this does to a metal.  It brings about a closer formation of the elements, at each round.

Apply this concept to thinking and then to the process of confusion and chaos being experienced in Malta today.

Whilst everyone is adept in thinking, some have given the processes more thought than others, and because of it have become more agile in the art.

And then they have also given thought to alternative directions and filters, and how these synchronize.

As I note from the number of comments, no one really likes to touch a National Asset, whether liked or hated. Myself included. But this is our reality, unfortunately, and we should not be going further with our eyes shut.]]></description>

Muscat should resign on this.

I wonder what Ms Muscat has to say about this? why doesn&#039;t  someone ask her if she met Shiv Nair or even his wife? hers would be an interesting response.]]></description>
