One wonders just how much backing Nair and his team have provided.

One also wonders whether influential newspapers in London are pushing the Nair agenda.

During the days when the MLP was in government between 1971 and 1987 the Maltese government hardly showed any interest in the Commonwealth. Some MLP supporter may wish to enlighten us how many Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings (CHOGM), held every two years, were attended by the Maltese prime minister during that period.

In reply to curious. Could be. At least he's stopped boring us with his interminable moans at PN's bad government (sic).

In reply to curious.

Then one should expect the speech to start with words like:

“In the manner of philosophy, which, in the words of Hegel, like the owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk, at the end of a civilisation’s highest moment, this study begins with an investigation of a phenomenon that emerges, globally and historically, at the end of Fordist epoch of capitalism, or, at least, at a time of Fordism in crisis.”

In reply to curious. Apparently, when Muscat spoke on stage in China last September at the same meeting where he announced the underhand scheme to sell EU passports, Mario Vella sat in the audience frantically pecking away at his smartphone screen to prompt Muscat when his bravado flagged.

In reply to George Grech. I suspect that Mario 'Watersbroken' Vella is writing a couple of speeches for him.

He should tell them how the Commonwealth should NOT be run, with examples of his ideology in action: amoral politics i.e. għall-voti nagħmel kollox reflecting the prevalent ideology of people in Malta, amoral familism i.e. għall-familja nagħmel kollox.
