In a Machiavellian style leadership everyone is disposable.So everyone would be thinking ”I wonder who will be next, I hope it won’t be me”.

Just look back and see how many people have been removed or kicked upstairs right in front of our very eyes, in a year.

I see Karmenu Vella’s removal from minister as a stab in the back for him. Marie Louise Coleiro Preca being made president another. Wenzu Mintoff, Toni Abela’s bosom buddy was removed from the party machinery.

Charles Mangion did not resign the chairmanship of EneMalta – he was made to resign as soon as he was elected in the casual election after Coleiro Preca was kicked upstairs.

Whose turn is it? Toni Abela is next to face the axe.

The rot started when they decided to overturn the system from the inside. Our neighbours up North been there and painfully aware of the implications.

Nothing different to ‘magistratura democratica’, the left leaning union of magistrates established in the seventies, (yes) which proclaimed itself in favour of individual discretion on handing down sentences, depending on whether one is of the left or not.

Or better, a rich man deserves a harsher sentence for the same crime.

This perverse ideology went on to appropriate banks, every cooperative and compromised unions with shareholding in business concerns.

Guess why Italy’s in the state it’s in, a scramble to divert every body, union and professional association into permanent conflict of interest. The gut reaction to exclude the Brigate Rosse from daily life exceeded every expectation.

Unions became exclusively a pension scheme, the judiciary in collusion with the legal profession to maintain an impossibly byzantine legal system, the press taken over by ‘capitalists’ whose only agenda is, and remains, state funding.

Muscat’s taghna lkoll is uncannily similar in certain aspects. A closed system which should, supposedly be self-sustaining.

The economy as engine of democracy left idle.

Unfortunately I’ve known Aaron for donkey’s years. I can assure you he is both an ‘injorant’ and a ‘bahnan’, and a little bit more too.

I’d tell you ‘good luck’ Daphne, but clearly you don’t need it. Only Wenzhou can save Aaron now.

Hardly. Anglu Farrugia was inconvenient and Joseph Muscat never wanted him as deputy.

Aaron Farrugia, on the other hand, is ‘ta’ gewwa’. This is why he was given a cushty job which allows him to campaign for the next general election while on the state payroll.

If anything, being sued by ‘is-sahhara’ will stand Aaron in good stead with most Labourite savage numpties. Suldat tal-azzar.

Aaron fits the profile of the Labourites who are popular with this Prime Minister. He is has several degrees, which Joseph Muscat equates with intelligence, and is not an absolute troglodyte, which Joseph Muscat equates with being presentable.

Of course, to anyone with an iota of intelligence and half-decent breeding, Aaron is a cuc ta’ wara l-muntanji. Unfortunately, most well-mannered people would not put their name to that particular choice of words.

Wow, just look at that list of “achievements.”

And shouldn’t his “professional career” be titled “political career” instead?

Those very qualifications Aaron holds should have indicated the definition and role of a fiduciary company.

It is one thing when John Doe doesn’t know those basics and isn’t critical.

It is another when the CEO of the Freeport who holds all those business/legal degrees does not know the definition and does not know how to critically evaluate what he hears and sees. Oddly, his bachelor’s dissertation was about foreign direct investment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Farrugia).

Indeed. I have always maintained that the PN failed miserably on one of its 1987 motto – Work, Justice and Freedom. The promise of delivering justice to all never really materialised. You may never have reconciliation or forgiveness without justice.
