In €k.

Perhaps that’s the payoff arrangement…all in a day’s work!

I am afraid I would have said ‘shameful’ rather than ‘laughable’ because losing face internationally is no laughing matter. Ask all those old enough to remember how people avoided mentioning where they were from and put jackets on their passports so that they would not be associated with the despicable antics of the then prime minister.

We knew that when we saw him selling ice to the Eskimos in the run up to the last general elections. If he is to be crowned king of something there is no doubt that he is the deserving king of spin. BUT how many will vote out the weakest link?

It is totally laughable that this whole exercise is described as a Individual Investment Programme when Henley & Partners are not even regulated to give financial advice. If they wanted this scheme to carry any creditability they would have selected one of the big accountancy firms. That is assuming if they wanted to be associated by such a scheme.

The people are wondering why Malta has become internationally a less attractive place to invest in, when we have a Prime Minister working as a part time salesman for a unregulated company that clearly states it is selling citizenship. What international image does this portray of a country when its PM is happy to sell passports?

If anything there is a unit with a chairman who should be handling this.

Somehow, I am convinced more than ever that this party was never ready for government and is certainly not capable or up to the job.

The Opposition still has a golden question to put before the Commissioner for Competition.

What counts in this case is not whether the result is answered honestly, but that the question is put.

Why the dithering?

Because the gazelle hesitates and keeps on looking back, and the lion doesn’t. The lion is focused.
