These are the same people who used to accuse the PN of being arrogant. What a laugh! They are now masters of arrogance, have mastered the art of lying, have made greed their master and secretaries their mistresses.

					<description><![CDATA[Toni Abela was on the Gozo ferry the day before yesterday at noon, going round in circles looking for his car. 

He just couldn&#039;t find it and he must have forgotten where he had parked it. And I said to myself  &quot;Well if this idiot cannot find his way to his own car how in heaven&#039;s name is he going to be helping Joseph find his way along the road map? ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Under Muscat&#039;s Labour everything is corrupted. The lines of decency are blurred over. 

The social contract is slowly destroyed by double speak and double cross. 

The advent of billboard cronyism means that the citizenry people must now kiss their hand or be left outside. 

Above all, there is secrecy, under-the-table arrangements and weird attachments. 

A criminal record is not a set-back but a diploma. Everything can be bought and sold. Everything can be lied about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If this was a party-to-party visit - which is probably what Louis Grech means here - then why did Xinhua report that the Maltese delegation led by Labour deputy leader Toni Abela was to have meetings with officials from the Ministry of Culture of the People&#039;s Republic?

Xinhua also reported that:

&lt;em&gt;&quot;The themes discussed will include the political and economic situation of the two countries, Malta&#039;s 2017 European Presidency and the possibility of cultural activities between the two countries. &quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Notice the use of &lt;em&gt;countries&lt;/em&gt; as opposed to &lt;em&gt;parties&lt;/em&gt;.

Louis Grech&#039;s reply is not a witty reply.  It is yet another example of political arrogance of the Minister and the government of which he is part.]]></description>
