Daphne, I don’t think Gordon Cordina has any interest in speaking favourably of Labour. He never did. If anything, he’s more blue than red, having been quite vociferous about Malta joining the EU and, I believe, he even spoke at a PN mass meeting before the referendum (correct me if I am wrong). He has always seemed to do very well under PN administrations. Mind you, this has probably got nothing to do with politics but simply because he is competent.

Ask Karm Farrugia what his views on the illegal heist of the National Bank of Malta were back in 1973 when he was gallivanting with his buddy Dom. You can then weigh up what he says on anything else and decide whether his “opinion” is even worth anything in the first place.

That said … probably goes for all of the clowns above and their personal agendas.

In reply to David. You really are anally retentive, David. I hope for your sake that you will take up the legal profession. You'll find ample scope for your talents.

In reply to king rat.

It’s the old “give a poor man a fish/give him a fishing rod”.

Hell, even the Nationalists got it mostly wrong. This lot I won’t even dignify with a comment.

In reply to C. Fenech. If you were to interview Satan and a panel of fallen angels, they would all agree that Jesus was a criminal.

In reply to Catsrbest.

Agreed. Why publicly commit to something that hasn’t yet been sounded?

This blog is their only logical sounding board. They use it to test ideas and to judge how best to issue a press release.

Have you seen anything launched as a fully fledged proposal? That hasn’t changed, and a subsequent press release that hasn’t been shaped and influenced by the comments from this blog?

Joseph Muscat might pretend to ignore it, but the fact is that this blog dictates to him day and night, simply because his logic is flawed and he needs to know the pitfalls that have been identified so that he can carry on with the rest.

Therefore the intolerance and threats, both direct and indirect.

Will Joey still be taking his VAT refund on ‘L-Alfa’, now that he’s being paid back (and then some) for it from our taxes? Or will he be shoving it back into the national kitty.

My question is, of course, rhetorical.

With the €10 increase in road licence fees we would be paying the VAT ex-gratia re-embursement on UK imported car registration.

Next time you go to pay your licence fee just remember those people queueing near the Mile End Labour HQ who voted Labour to get some €4,000 in their pockets for second hand cars which they bought for an already good price.

The first one who will gain will be our PM who bought two cars and is leasing his personal UK imported car to himself. Who needs ethics when there’s Labour in government?

This is Robin Hood philosophy turned upside down – he will be robbing all the car owners to pay ex-gratia the few car buyers.

Ex-gratia means that this is done by favour, not because the receiver has some legal right.
