Oh bollocks! As if we haven’t achieved anything by ourselves. Look at how Malta negotiated accession to the EU, for instance. There is a distinct inbuilt ability to self-destruct, but that doesn’t mean we’re all morons.

“Actually, Mr. Grech, the real concern is whether your side of the house can distinguish between government and a political party. China cannot.”

Classic.

Brilliant.

In bold everywhere please, perhaps Saviour and Times of Malta will get a whiff and report on this too.

“Mr Grech said that he was sure that the MP on the other side of the house could distinguish between government work and the work of a political party. “As a result, I will not be answering this question.”

Actually, Mr. Grech, the real concern is whether your side of the house can distinguish between government and a political party. China cannot.

Now can you please answer the question?

Whatever it was it should be revived, how else can someone describe this?

”Chinese delegation calls in on Maltese old age pensioners, Grech refuses to answer on Labour visit”
