This is crazy

By the time their supposedly allotted 10 years are up, Malta is going to be totally unrecognisable, and not in a good way.

Luciano Kohlrabi has averaged more than a tweet a minute since Edwaaaarrrrtt started his budget speech and hour and a bit ago. He mobajl puts Franco’s magic CrackBerry to shame.
Yes, it is crazy but people are starting to stand up to all this arrogance.

They appear to have studied how long it took Mintoff to f*** up Malta last time around and are trying to beat his record. And, against all odds, they are actually succeeding.
I’ve never seen eye-to-eye with Mintoff’s methods although sometimes I thought I could understand his reasoning but not his delivery.
That said, I never had the feeling that Mintoff lined his pocket personally, although he was surrounded by the most obscenely corrupt people and letting them get away with murder put him in the same net.
However our present PM is giving his ministers the alibi they need as they are just following suit grabbing anything they can lay their hands on.
[Daphne – Why do you think that Mintoff never lined his own pockets? He lived like a miser because he was a miser, and not because he only had his PM’s salary to live on.]
Sadly, you may be mistaken, The Sting.
Mintoff hardly made a living as an architect, so how did he amass a fortune since becoming a politician at a time when War Damages funds were being doled out to owners of war damaged properties?
Ten years is not enough for Muscat. He is too greedy for power to give up so easily and will, for example, use public money to fund Labour electoral campaigns.
This energy debacle is turning out to be similar to Fredu Sant’s removal of VAT disaster.
A tragicomedy with Malta as the main victim.
Not only unrecognizable, but bankrupt and ungovernable.
You know, I’m beginning to have some hope for the next elections. Assuming, of course that Malta does not become more China-like in its approach to the media.
Will Enemalta be paying inflated tariffs to both the BWSC pwer station and the new and unnecessary power station? That is a double whammy.
There’s a roadmap, of course, even to that. Like Dr Simon Busuttil, you have understood nothing of Labour’s energy plan, as said by the great chief Muscat himself last week.
We will buy at 9.4c per unit and sell over the interconnector at 3c or 4c per unit which is around the going rate, that is if anyone will want it. Now tell me, isn’t that a brilliant plan.
Did anyone notice Roderick Galdes picking his nose for a few seconds before the camera hurriedly moved away? Perhaps fishing out snot plugs was his way of coping with the boredom of listening to Edward Scicluna for hours on end.
More of the Muscat cover up and spin:
“It is definitely not a good comparison with the Arriva story. Arriva was given a subsidy of €10 million and it failed, costing the country much more. Taxpayers will be forking out €30 million this year to make up for that mess.”
This is Joe Mizzi’s mess. This administration reminds of those pavement jugglers in Madrid with the three tumblers and folding table.
The momentum gained over these last two decades will carry on for a short time, but will grind to a halt unless it is given a push …. in the right direction. These guys are just not capable.
