According to Mr Jeremy Fisher quoted on Times of Malta tonight the government was trying to attract “high net worth investors”.

Does he really believe we are all as stupid as he is?

A f*cking Maltese knighthood? I am only curious as to whether the passports were asked for or offered in the first instance.

Or “Rather odd”, at the very least. Well, “bizarre”. It is usually used to brush off issues as clearly wacky but in a diplomatic manner.
