In reply to David. Erm, that would really mess up the global economy and financial trading would it? Fancy that, multiplying your investment by a thousand using Wikipedia. Poor Lehman, why didn't they think of that?

In reply to mc. Freudian slip perhaps? After all Shiv Nair was welcomed with open arms, surely not due to his ethical business record and upstanding allegiances. So 'double standard' makes sense.

Let’s help him out with the arithmetic using metaphors he can understand.

1,000,000 (1 million) = 2 mattresses

In reply to Antoine Vella. You are right, Antoine. Who is to say that, in fact, the figure of euro 500,000 of cash at home was not just a round number?

In reply to A.

I would think this is the aim.

Remember that when George Bush Junior was contesting his first elections he downplayed his interest in Foreign Policy so as not to alarm voters that he would walk the same path as his father before him.

In reply to curious.

If Labour had no qualms to compromise the Maltese identity and reputation, Labour will find no problem in compromising Mr. Grima’s reputation.

If I were in Mr. Grima’s shoes, I would not accept this position.

And the opposition should not have anything to do with the regulator. It is not a role of the opposition to regulate the citizenship.
