Often it&#039;s just the tip of an iceberg that&#039;s visible.

How convenient that it was all organised through the Manoel Theatre.

Let&#039;s see: did Kenneth Zammit Tabona have a hand in it?

Joseph, Michelle Muscat/ Nair

Nair/  Farrugia Fenech Fiott

All we need for the picture to be almost complete would be a certain link common to all four present.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Did he tell this lie in parliament? In a mature democracy that would lead to his resignation but not in Malta. There is enough evidence to suggest Mr Muscat is a congenital liar. If he was a certain wooden puppet he would be tripping over his nose by now.]]></description>

Whereas there are many people Muscat would like to think he could look down on, there are but a handful he can look down at. 

Coconut Farrugia is one of the lucky few who could fit in both categories. 

This in turn means that there are equally few who can actually look up at Joseph Muscat. As for those who look up to him, I am sure that the law of diminishing marginal returns applies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Joseph Muscat&#039;s lies were not acceptable in the run up to the elections.

Neither are they acceptable now.

Joseph Muscat and all his lies, are unacceptable. By now we have a list of them.

What action is to be taken about those that are in breach of his/ his Party&#039;s mandate?

What action is to be taken against a prime minister who lies time after time?

Is there no contract between a Prime Minister&#039;s role and the nation he should be representing? What is he sworn in to do? Lie to the nation?

This was another one:

“The Times
Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 13:29

No policy change in financial services – Muscat

A Labour government will adopt a ‘no policy change’ approach in financial services to maintain continuity in that sector, Joseph Muscat said today.”

With the sale of Passports and Citizenship, Muscat will be lying again, and he has told us in advance that he plans to do just that.

Are we accommodating him or are we going to do something about it?

Under the present circumstances, I do wish someone out there was snooping on us.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Ms CG,

a FT blog post on the latest European Council meeting sheds more light on the miserable showing of our PM.  See last paragraph here http://blogs.ft.com/brusselsblog/2013/10/eu-summit-leaked-draft-conclusions-3/?goback=%2Egde_130827_member_5799180755858907140 .

The post provides a link to the draft text for the European Council Conclusions document, presented by Malta, Italy, Spain, Greece and Cyprus -  http://blogs.ft.com/brusselsblog/files/2013/10/Council-Conclusions-Migration-Flows.pdf.  

The actual Conclusions (http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/139197.pdf - see para 46) are miles away fromthe Med Member States proposed text, primarily because they are essentially non-committal.   

Nowhere near the victory announced by the PM.]]></description>
