Why should it be any different now that Labour is in power? Who are Malta’s heroes? Rich people. Who do we look up to? Rich people. Whose opinion do we value? Rich people’s. Who controls the strings of power? Rich people. Who do we seek to emulate? Rich people.

So when the PM says he wants to attract talent to Malta, meaning he wants to attract money, please don’t all throw your hands up in indignation. Because he’s merely applying the received wisdom.

No. But I can’t afford a defence lawyer, so yes.

The lies need to be propogated and upheld by those who participate in the scam that this Government is. One true defector, one dent: and the House of Cards risks tumbling. The more dependent on the corrupt system, the higher the incidence of lies and lying.

Lies are literally of no consequence to Joseph Muscat and his blatant use of them automatically authorises his Party followers to act in the way that is expected of them by the same leader. Were they ever otherwise?

No, it’s not a remake of the TV series.

It is very disappointing that so many so-called journalists are not fit to be called so but rather, they are simply reporters. Their work is not much different than minute-taking.

Ma nafx tiftakarx l-intervista ta’ Herman Grech ghall The Times, meta staqsa ghoxrin mistoqsija lil Dr Gonzi u listess mistiqsijiet lil Muscat.

Wahda mill domandi kienet, jekk fil-politika ghandekx tghid il verita. Gonzi wiegeb “Assolutament iva” u Muscat qal ” Xi kultant trid tghid il-verita”. Ma tahsibx li din hija prova ta’ kwazi kull ma jghid huwa gideb.
