Probably to watch the game Valletta vs Birkirkara. He was in the VIP section.

And no difference between:

A Maltese Prime Minister and a King

May I add that there is no distinction between:

Policy maker and Policy Administrator
Government and Civil Servants
Government and Police
Pharmacy and PL club
Facts and fiction
Public and private (funds, billboards, etc)

Why is governance so very ameature? Is this the highest standard of governance this Government can reach?

Diplomatic passport wasn’t ready yet because:

– they couldn’t spell all the new add-on surnames properly?

– Keith Kasco is keeping the paper supply on hold until he gets some deal or other confirmed?

– they’re keeping passport paper under strict control in case Manwel Mallia decides he needs more mattress stuffing?

– they’d forgotten to get a new one done for him as first man of Malta?

– the President refused to accept a diplomatic passport in a show of solidarity with her grass root supporters?

– Joseph Muscat hadn’t yet authorised the issue?

Yesterday over lunch my relatives commented on who was representing Malta at the ceremony but I swear I thought they were joking.

I now see this.

I am shocked and nauseated beyond words.

TVM is not exactly a reliable source of information.

There is a sense of hopelessness out there and it’s ever so easy to criticize the PN, who are trying to get their message across but few are making the slightest effort to listen.

If it wasn’t for blogs like Daphne’s things would be even worse.

Perhaps it’s best to hibernate for a few years and take it up from there once people really start to suffer from the fallout.

It was a bit like this in the early seventies until people had had enough and started to react.

The jokes just write themselves in this country.
