In reply to Trisha. How cosy it all is. The real clique that migrates from government to government, squeezing the money-sponge all the way.

In reply to Jozef. He's a fine one to talk. Barring his stint with Crystal Finance, he's been on benefits in one way or another since he was born.

Air Malta has or had a subsidiary company called Osprey Insurance Agency Ltd, which was the only profitable company in the group.

Besides the huge savings it used to help Air Malta achieve, it paid an annual dividend of around a million euros.

Is it good business practice to give away profits to an outsider when you have a company in the group doing the same work? Or is it purely blatant corruption?

Isn’t there some kind of conflict here?

In reply to Positive Energy. They were diehard Nationalists when the Nationalists were in government, and now that Labour is in government they are diehard Laburisti.

In reply to Watcher of lies. That's exactly it! They are nothing but rats which are scientifically defined as opportunists; i.e. without any principles and anything goes for the sake of the god of personal gain.

In reply to Positive Energy. They are not pampaluni Laburisti, nor pampaluni Nazzjonalisti but pampaluni Flusisti. The world is full of them. They jump from one ship to another like rats after food.

I remember the Schembris especially Simon as pampaluni Nazzjonalisti.

[Daphne – Apparently, they are the sort who would be pampaluni Martians if the Martians took over.]
