He used to lead the Brigata Laburista at one time as they beat on their drums and marched down main streets.

Will the Gozitans now make him beat the retreat down the Main Street in Victoria or will they prefer to be whip-lashed for not reporting for work on time?

I loved the justification for the job: to ensure that public employees in Gozo turn up for work. On the same pro rata reasoning Malta merits another 12 such consultants.

I’m surprised Paul Pace of MUMN has not yet issued directives as this surely is an insult to his members in Gozo but perhaps I write too soon.

When Lawrence Gonzi made changes to the remuneration received by ministers and other members of parliament soon after winning his last general election, I was one to criticise openly the manner in which this was done.

One can see that he must have been aware that the measure would be criticised and aimed at giving it a low profile.

There is nothing of the sort with Joseph Muscat. He has no scruple to hand out financial benefit to his team, in one shape or another, far superior in cash and brazenness, to that given by Gonzi.

Will the electorate accept this?

Sewwa jaghmlu! They were wise before, now they are even more.

Their election campaign was not anything outstanding. They just knew who they were addressing and passed the message in the language the switchers wanted to hear.

Now they know that those idiots who voted for them, and gave them so much power, cannot do anything. So they bulldoze according to the power and strength those stupid idiots gave them. And the power they gave them is a lot.

You have to admire their zeal in looting of the public purse.
