In reply to Alexander Ball. To protect all the elected scoundrels, using all his resources?

Does anyone know why Minister Mallia was in Budapest last Thursday? I couldn’t find anything in the news.

Net TV should start a satirical programme. It has a lot of fodder in the current government to feed from. The French, who are not particularly known for satire, have an excellent TV show in this regard.

[Daphne – Satire is alien to Maltese culture. What you end up with is invariably more Benny Hill than Spitting Image. So forget it. Bad idea. It’s actually one of the most difficult genres to work on.]

In reply to Alexander Ball. Clearly for the money! Like a majority of the politicians in the Labour Party they have absolutely nothing to do with championing the rights of the working class.

“Is there anyone in Muscat’s cabinet who isn’t a caricature of some sort?”

Some weeks ago I did write that Malta has become a sort of ‘commedia dell’arte’ play where stock characters and highly predicatable plots meet.

In reply to Jason King. That was before he declared his 500,000 Euros under the bed sheets. If they had known before, it might have been a different matter.

In reply to Alexander Ball. Good question. I think it might be interesting to understand why exactly he is in there, doing what he is doing.

I suppose there weren’t many Super One girls who were tempted, so he scoured Romania instead.

Codruta issa paxxuta,
U inqas m’hi falluta –
Ghax minn rahal fir-Rumanija
f’Malta zzewget lil Mallia,
Ras kbira.

Nahseb li ma jonqosha xejn
Biex tinkweta m’hemmx ghalfejn

Ghax zewgha zgur m’huwiex midjun
Taht is-saqqu b’nofs miljun.

He’s not a socialist. He isn’t in power to make it a better country.

What is he in government for exactly?
