It is said that a USA President had “The buck stops here” prominently displayed on his desk. May I suggest that the desk of our Prime Minister be similarly decorated, adding “BLOODY HELL !”

In reply to Denis.

Shiv Nair could be asked about his own ways of dealing with such conditions and the situations his actions and plans have necessitated by the London address people he is involved with, and those – sitting on the fence, in London, who are just as culpable by their inaction.

When you sit on the board of an important organisation, interaction with such people and support of their known actions, makes the whole of your interests suspect.

Conflict of interest is not a light matter, especially when concealed and when there is the valuable matter of information that is being pre-traded.

In reply to Gahan. That's only because Chinese workers are badly paid so that we can have inexpensive goods.

We reached an agreement with the second largest economy in the world…

Some night(marish) reading about China for Joseph.

China has the largest population in the world and is the second largest economy after the USA. The USA has 1,000,000,000 people less than China and yet has an economy twice as big as China’s.

In simple terms one needs eight Chinese to produce what an American produces . I think the Japanese and Germans can do even better than the Americans. So much for the world’s second largest economy !

Bil-weghdi li ghamel lil kulhadd qabel l-elezzjoni u li kellu bilfors izomm kelmtu, Muscat gie daru mal-hajt.

Nithassar lil dawk il-Laburisti genwini, li m’humiex daqstant vicin tieghu, li gew imwarrba u mcahhda minn xi promozzjoni jew pjacir minhabba dawk tal-qalba.

Somebody ought to scribble the meaning of a ‘tu quoque’ fallacy all over his roadmaps. You’d sooner expect that sort of counter-argument from a child.

This chart needs to be printed and hung in his and every minister’s office; smack in their faces.

“We have reached agreement with the world’s second largest economy”.

Tell us, Mr. Muscat, how the people in the world’s second largest economy live, their working conditions , their living conditions, their pay, their freedoms and basic rights, their human rights, their forced abortions and their one-child policy.

What price, being the world’s second largest economy?
