If I wasn’t so worried about Malta’s future, I would sit back and smirk with satisfaction at all those people who called me a fanatic last year, because I predicted most of the things that are actually happening now. And this was mostly due to the way Joseph Muscat kept that roadmap too close to his chest, as you put it.

FACT.

Very good question.

We Maltese never change. We never had the foresight to show our disapproval of anything before it is too late. Just like not removing danger before a fatal accident occurs.

I don’t know whether it’s ignorance or apathy. All I know is that we shall be condemned by future generations, that is, the intelligent ones.

Why should tiny Malta be criticised for trying to clean the mess left at Enemalta by a lazy corrupt government ?

Shiv Nair has very kindly offered his address to the Azerbaijani stamp collectors’ union.

They must have some very interesting mail.

I am positively sure that the Muscatian-Sale-of-Passports scheme was discussed, planned and agreed upon during that visit. If I am wrong, then why does the PM, even today, after almost 4 years from that visit, refuses to divulge the contents of the ‘agreement’ he signed while still in Opposition with the Chinese government?
