					<description><![CDATA[The photograph is more revealing than the contents of what was said.

The minister has the moral support of his father, whose presence is otherwise irrelevant.

His background depicts the leadership of the Labour Party.

Is this what the government of Malta is reduced to?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Minister Mizzi has been quotes as saying that the Nationalist party are picking up on him because of his success as a Minister. 

Is this man for real, what success? What has he done? He just sold more than one-third of our sole energy provider to a foreign country to make up a fraction of the debt of Enemalta.

After so much talk of a cancer factory before the election the power station is still running on HFO, so it was a cancer factory before the election and now miraculously HFO is no more carcinogenic. 

Does he expect us to believe him? I am sure many would believe him but those with just a pinch of salt know that nothing has been done and that he is not fit for purpose.]]></description>

What is Nair’s relationship to Patricia Hills, London Executive Assistant to Edward de Bono, who is registered at the same address at 135b, Holland Park Avenue, whilst her husband Richard Hills is listed with “Shiv Shankor” at 135a, Holland Park Avenue?

Who is Nair?

Who is Sai Laing?

Who is carrying out security checks?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Something is not quite right in all these explanations being given by the PM and the Minister.

So now we know that the PM employed Mrs. Mizzi Liang as an &quot;Ambassador.&quot;

And we know also that the Minister and the Prime Minister did not talk about this appointment.

1. First of all this means that the PM is now the employer of BOTH Dr. CONrad Mizzi and Mrs. Mizzi Liang.  The couple is employed by the PM.  Why would that be exactly?  What is so particular about this couple?  What mysteries or knowledge or connections could they have for being both so indispensable to the PM?

2. Does the PM expect us to believe him when he suggests that he sent for the wife of one of his cabinet Ministers, behind the back of the Minister, and offered her a job at a location somewhere on the other side of the world -  such that she would have to leave her husband (who, remember, is one of the PM&#039;s Ministers) behind here in Malta while she lives overseas?  Separating a couple just like that?  Is the PM so insensitive, or is he just lying?

I am forming a different political view.  I am starting to believe that what we have here is an emergency plan, although I am not sure who may be involved in it.  

We may be assisting at the preparation of a scenario in which the Minister of Energy will resign, quoting personal reasons, i.e. that he has to follow his wife in Shanghai.

It is quite possible that the Minister is under immense stress and pressure because of the electoral promise to reduce tariffs and to deliver a gas plant within 2 years from 9 March.

It is also quite possible that the Minister may have realised that this is not &quot;doable.&quot;

It is also possible that the introduction of China into Enemalta, and the claim that China can service other plants in the Med (does it really have any that we know of?) could be a change of plan - will China approve that Enemalta enters into a power purchase agreement, or will China import electricity from its other plants in the region?

It is also possible, therefore, that the government may have worked out a way out for the Minister that would permit an honourable exit.

I am sure that Minister Conrad Mizzi will forgive me for making some hypothetical statements.  I took this habit from Edward Zammit Lewis.]]></description>
