The high opinion I had of him has just dropped to nothing, especially when he says that Malta lacks people of high calibre. He is a living example.

And by the way, honestly, did anyone expect any better from Labour?

My god, that was so embarrassing.

Well spotted.

Yes, this what the PN means by ‘thobb lil pajjizek’, not some fascistic bravado.

If I may, a passion for la cosa pubblica; defining and refining the instruments of a society to reflect its nature.

These plebs won’t even submit their work to public scrutiny, Marsaxlokk tender, this sham, land reclamtion, everything. They’re slowly disenchanting everyone from politics, putting a wedge between us and the state.

And that’s why they’re plebs, simply not up it, no responsibility, no sense of duty, no intellectual honesty, no dignity.

Never was an Opposition as essential. Thankfully, what happened to the PN was just the party’s successfully resisting the rot.

He’s definitely pointing elsewhere. Washing his hands of a scheme which is very definitely financial.

They should send Manuel Mallia next session.

The lack of calibre comment denotes what every socialist deep down thinks of an electorate and what criteria a government should adopt to rule.

Ever heard some cashmere socialist spout what they really think of everyone else when they’ve had the extra drink?

Sickening, jaded and predictably boring. They’re either earnest, personal or ‘converted’. Labour, like all parties historically of the left, just cannot break the mould, the paradox in hogging the left and experimenting with extremes to spice things up is dragging every country down.

It’s not a coincidence EU bureacrats, Hollande, the PD in Italy, Obama and every other misplaced ‘hope’ falls far short of any promise.

When being socialist implies looking at cold facts through a fixed set of lenses, disasters will happen.
