“Obviously a moron of epic proportions ”

An acronym made in heaven for the Labour MEP campaign.

The NP needs to get its cartoonists on the job.

You are so right, Alf. Deceit after deceit after deceit. Just imagine those who went to the pump today and had a bigger disappointment. Ha Ha

But than, Smart City project was dubbed as a property speculation device.

Surely the Prime Minister does not think that he can buy our vote for 2c less in petrol.

In some places on the continent it’s even lower at €1.289 as at today’s date.

Perhaps the big news is still to come. Or maybe it just fell through.

The EU has invested money in the restructuring of Air Malta and it was not going to sit down and see its money going down to somebody else’s advantage.

That is why on this issue the PM said that the EU restructuring exercise has to be exhausted before a decision on selling Air Malta can be taken.

I think so too. Daphne and her network of spies, please keep digging!
