I think you’re right.

Good call.

I find it very inapporpriate to compare that shameful event to this rather stupid event. What happened in Versailles, was the seeding of very ghastly events, which ended at a huge price to humanity. I suggest that you would stop taking sides, at a time when Europe needs unity and not divisions. Wise historians would think twice from using that analogy.

Not something they could have done right on the tail of the other.

Now anyone Googling “Malta and Libya” will find this as a latest reference.

This Government is superficial and caters for those who are likewise.

I would have left out the “too”.

This all seems like Malta’s “classic” socialist horror movie revisited.

The fact that characters like the Gattopardi are “in” – and their habitual clingers-on with them – makes it that more sordid this time round.

They too have placed themselves at the level of “servants”.

All for a dime more.

Where is the country’s backbone?

What an insult to an Islamist like the Libyan Minister of the Interior. Signing an agreement under an obvious christian symbol. Silvio can’t for the life of him organise a piss up in a brewery. let alone something of this purported importance.

Perhaps it was for this reason the seating arrangement was changed, so the Libyan counterpart won’t be seated directly below the painting.
