This calls for a carcade to celebrate the political demise of this f*cking stupid crock of sh*t. Happy Christmas everybody.

The mere announcement of a resignation is a media failure in their eyes.

Reality is a perception.

The replacement of Mallia will also mean the replacement of Silvio Scerri; am I right?

Make no mistake, Mallia would still be there if it was not for the Net News revelations. Joey bled and bled profusely over the past three days and he had to take the “tough option” to dump Mallia.

In hindsight, and ironically, if Mallia had resigned on day one, Muscat could have fudged the report and re-appointed him. Even the leakage might not have happened. But that’s what arrogance does to you – it blinds your judgement.

Mallia is going to the backbench and will not contest the next election. He is, in political terms, dead meat.

What I can say is that we have not heard to end of this. The next few days and weeks are going to be very interesting.

God only knows what damage Manuel Mallia is going to.

It seems that Mallia hasn’t yet resigned. So, will Malta be heading to a twin minister situation?

They are mocking everything that is of value in parliamentary and democratic practice. We have to vote these imbeciles out… that is, if they actually respect the system enough to permit a general election in three years time. By then it may be too late.

Joseph Muscat and his government, all pomp and no substance.
