@Baxxter

Yin Yang. As old as time.

Vice doesn&#039;t exist in a vacuum.

It never did. 

Principles, and the lack of them, are what makes vice possible.

&lt;em&gt;&quot;The House will debate “the energy sector and the change-over to gas”. &quot;&lt;/em&gt;

The government is showing that the important thing it lacks in this sector is energy.  

And they should be discussing &quot;the change-over that turned out to be gas.&quot;]]></description>

Enemalta was never bankrupt.  It is the government of Joseph Muscat that is bankrupt, both morally and financially.

Enemalta had - and it still has - liquidity problems.  Enemalta suffers from short term cash unavailability.

I say it still has because the sale of the Petroleum Division shows that there is an overall cash problem, and it also shows that China, with its Eur 300 million of &quot;investment&quot; - I call that a predatory exercise - hasn&#039;t solved anything so far.  This is so because the deal with China isn&#039;t finalised as yet.  Konrad Mizzi had pledged that the deal with China would be closed by September, but here we are in October and there is nada.  Except for a big hole caused by the monthly salary of Eur 13,000 of Sai Mizzi who was supposed to be drawing Chinese &#039;investment&#039; to Malta.

What the Labour government is doing is playing around with the assets of the corporation, turning them into cash.

If you like, it is the Labour government which is liquidating the corporation by stripping it off its main assets.  I said it before: Joseph Muscat is an &lt;em&gt;asset stripper.&lt;/em&gt; 

But the consequence of this course of action by the bankrupted government of Joseph Muscat is that the nation has lost the control over those assets, which in the case of Enemalta, have always been considered strategic.]]></description>

And I guess these connections fall out of the sky, as a coincidence, with no link between the various middlemen and no particular reason for the exposure?]]></description>

Yes.  Reporters SHOULD be at Kasco&#039;s throat.  But even this is going to be swept under the carpet.

Until the point that everyone out there confuses profits with principle and eventually the both will depart.

Once evil is allowed to come through the door, it&#039;s very difficult to get it to leave. The household will have to go, before evil does. And that takes many forms.

The IIP should never have been accepted.  But once it edged itself it, once the offer was structured to implicate, it implicated.

Less of a strong base to fight from.

Karmenu Vella endorsed by the NP.  Yeah right.

You get weaker on the one hand and the next move, left uncountered, will again have spill over effects that weaken.

On principle Joseph Muscat should resign.

Instead of basing the outcome on OUR outlook, of principle, the weaker outlook is already basing it on THE PROBABILITY of his resignation, and discussing life after that. Leaving the decision entirely in Muscat&#039;s hands.

WHEN IT SHOULDN&#039;T BE.

So scared of demanding what&#039;s right for fear of a clash.

Where is this country&#039;s backbone?

What a gutless lot. 

I&#039;m disappointed beyond measure.]]></description>
