Until the sham self-destructs completely, there will always be those waiting to take the place of those back-stabbed, encouraged to participate in the act whilst they wait in line, the take-over prize as bait.

That’s the way the scam is fed.

SO TRUE.

He was at home

“Go back to journalism.”

What journalism? He has only ever dealt with poisonous propaganda, both in and (now) out of the newsroom.

Yes it’s still included.

Not bad really. Two whole MEPs were needed to convince one MEP between them. They must have used tag-teaming, those cheeky buggers.

Yes, well, when you play the game by the rules and build up positive capital you get the kind of breaks awarded to Malta under the PN: a blind eye to lax financial laws, a low corporate tax base similar to that conceded to Ireland, igaming, an EU agency way before other much larger countries were given one, being placed in a higher EU funding tier than we were legally entitled to especially considering we are now better off than most of southern Europe, a high-profile portfolio in the Commission, namely Health, Food Safety – Sanco, and the list goes on and on.

Now we are set to lose all of this. Wake up and smell the tea and four sugars you drink from that clear glass you no doubt drink from.

Such was the glee with which this announcement was made that one would be forgiven for thinking that this country was actually waiting for no other than an ex-Formula 1 champion’s application to solve its problems.

Once our beloved leader has been so forthcoming with his announcement perhaps he could be just as benevolent as to tell us how many applications were refused and on what grounds.

Is it that apart from the ex-Formula 1 champion there have been a good number of crooks who applied and which our beloved leader forgot to mention or is it that Henley & Partners are putting their endorsement where their money is and no application has failed the test?

But then, why all this fuss?

Why is it that in between engaging an EU Commission outcast as a consultant (on a strictly free-of-charge basis, that is) and engaging a World Bank black-listed person as a consultant too, our beloved leader can’t be trusted with issuing a residence-free Maltese passport solely to trustworthy applicants? Such ingratitude.
