In reply to lolo. We're watching but not much is happening. As regards the €500 per week, Scicluna admitted that he agreed with this and all the rest found ways around it. Mizzi alone got an increase of not €500 per week but 11x that per week (€5,700 per week). Our PM is getting that €500 per week by renting an old Alfa to the government. Bla misthija.

New posts are still being created and more vindictive removals are taking place or are planned. Several transfers, reshuffles and frame-ups are currently being instigated.

1000 people + have been employed in the government sector. Since hundreds retire every year and yet the number has INCREASED by 1200 so most probably something between 1500-1800 were employed with the government in 9 months.

Step by step we are going back to the days of the governments led by Dom Mintoff and K. Mifsud Bonnici.
And yet, those who felt the need for a change told us not to rake up the past performance of the MLP.

There are now 1,000 more people on the public payroll than there were last March.

Compare this to the last full year of the PN administration, when government jobs WENT DOWN by a thousand.

Today, the NSO was/is due to publish the latest updates on Un/employment. (See Calender on nso.gov.mt)
Usually these are issued at 11am, or at the very latest, Noon.

Strangely, it’s 12.32pm, and so far no update has been issued.

Mintoff would be so proud right now. Veru liberali wkoll dawn. They have no idea what the word means but they bandy it about like nobody’s business.

In reply to Min Jaf. In a few words "gas down ghal gol-hajt", although I would rather say "engine switched off, brakes out of action, and skeltering downhill without any possibility of ever stopping safely"
