“implement reforms, and not blame others.”

This is supposed to sound humble but I find this statement quite arrogant. Of course they should not and cannot blame others: they can only blame themselves for this fiasco.

“not blame others?”

Jahasra how weak, insufficient and petty.

Our sham Government.

_______

There at the ready to dictate to the Church?
Must be a niggling worry then… There could actually be an element he feels is not in his control.

I hope the Church is vibrant and strong and able to call a spade a spade.

Its positioning has various strengths. I hope the Church exploits all of these to the fullest.

Gozo is heading for multiple renegotiations, it would appear.

A new spate of studies and evaluations promised?

What an idle, empty shell of words.

Why is Joseph Muscat taking the Gozitans for a ride again?

I guess it was necessary to secure Franco Mercieca’s confirmation before going there?

Even though Franco Mercieca’s discontent was communicated through other grapevines, stating that he never saw as much confusion in his life and wanted to stay as far away from that mess as possible.

What was promised on this reneg round?

What trick is he up to now with Gozo?

Heard James Debono (of Malta Today) on radio saying that Muscat inherited a stable economy from Gonzi and that so far he’s been riding on that performance. As long as the economy doesn’t fall to shambles Labour will probably be voted in for another term.

Talking of perceptions, superficial people who couldn’t be bothered to delve into the facts and details will think/believe the present (relative) stability is thanks to Labour’s efforts.

This happened with Mintoff’s electoral victories in 1971 and 76, when Malta was still reaping the benefits of Borg Olivier’s solid economic vision and policies.

It was only in 1981, when the economy was seriously faltering, that the electorate rejected Mintoff. Will history repeat itself in today’s Malta? Has Malta changed that much to avoid such a repetition?

Hopefully, just hopefully, the Maltese people will have learnt their lesson come the next election.

“sending Malta internationally to the dust bin.”

It hasn’t hit them or Malta yet, but those who have a slightly different perspective have already seen that Malta is back to shady isle status internationally.

“fails to seem”?

You’ve been reading too much Alfred Mifsud perhaps, David?

Prosit Daphne.

The quote of the Year.

Exactly! Without even checking if at least there is soil in them. HA!

And the beautiful thing is that they are all Taghna Lkollers, which is a different tribe from the disgruntled Laburisti, who are demanding their long awaited pound of flesh, that they have ingrained in their minds they must have because ‘in-Nazzjonalisti qerduh pajjiz, ilkom 25 sena terdaw, issa jmiss ahna hux!’ (actual words said to me personally) with fervour that borders on the psychotic, and have to wait in line.

And getting real p******* off waiting and waiting and seeing all the Taghna Lkollers getting all the plum jobs/contracts/permits/freebies like they were Saudi princes who have just found a bottomless oil well.

The problem as I see it is real, and sometimes it astonishes me how these people who are supposed to be brighter than your average Joe like me, live in la la land and think that they can actually brush away the daily problems that are cropping up everywhere you turn your head, real problems that in the near future are going to cost people their jobs and bring this so-called country, if you can call it that, I like to call it a big rock with some people running around like headless chickens, to a grinding halt.

Wake up they cannot believe their luck as they are making millions while at the same time sending Malta internationally into the dust bin.

This should be the final word on this Taghna Lkoll legislature. Perfect, Daphne.
