Megalomania, dictatorship, tyranny are the common factors and causes of such friendships as Joe`s cocktail of Old and New Labour.

Why must the Labour Party insist on having friends like these? It’s simple, really. It’s the only world they know.

Because when you are five feet tall, a three feet tall person makes even you feel like a giant, a seven foot tall one makes you feel like a little person. And I am not referring to height here.

With horrid choices and assessments like these, can you begin to imagine the level of due diligence which could ever be imposed by this trash Government of ours? Tal-biza.

In reply to Fernando. Or from a cheap government that however has unlimited funds to cater for its own party diehards and to add insult to injury these people are being paid out of the Maltese taxpayers' money.

Personally, I have my doubts whether the Ukrainian president will ever be leaving Malta. Or if he does I wouldn’t be surprised if we see hima again in the near future. From what I can gather, the protests are so widespread that toppling of the government is a real possibility, with even close presidential aides talking about snap elections.

Why would such an embattled president go on a froiegn good will trip? It would be as if Colonel Gaddafi took a jolly trip around Algeria during the Libyan civil war. It makes no logical sense, unless he is trying to sniff out comfortable places of exile.
