It was actually in Maltese: Jilghaba ta l-iblah biex ma jhallsx dwana.

Simon Busuttil was really good yesterday. Keep them coming.

In reply to verita.

Marlene Farrugia’s proposal is a non-starter with Labour. They are not interested in correcting what is wrong with them (even if this were possible).

Labour’s only concern is being in power and feeding at the public trough.

The only changes the PL makes are cosmetic ones, such as those in the lead up to the elections, to hoodwink a gullible electorate.

If the Prime Minister was not told of the bullet holes and blithely went to sleep, should he not immediately fire those whose job it is to inform him immediately of major crises? His spokesman was part of this debacle yet we are to believe he never passed it on.

However you look at it his handling of this is at best very scarily inept for the one at whom the buck stops. At worst of course it does nothing to allay the strong suspicion that he not only colluded but masterminded the response.

If this is the level of skill and foresight with which the leader of the nation operates, God help us all.

Marlene Farrugia is being insulted and ridiculed excessively by many Laburisti. They don’t want to take her advice to gather all PL sections and discuss the situation calmly and civilly.

Dialogue is out of the question.

We listened attentively to Parliament yesterday – not so much the government ministers, as they were pathetic, grovelling and pandering to Joseph Muscat.

Both Beppe Fenech Adami and Simon Busuttil were absolutely brilliant.

It is so obvious that the calibre of the Opposition members is much higher than that of Muscat and his motley crew. Muscat doesn’t have an ounce of humility or common decency in him but instead lashed out at Busuttil in his usual bullying style, just like a kid in the playground who hasn’t got his way.

Muscat is already passé and this in just 20 months.

It is of course shameful that the PM went to sleep when there was an incident of national importance still evolving.

However it might also have been a godsend because if he had stayed awake he would probably have made a bigger hash of things. If this was at all possible.

Listening to parliament debates is becoming quite entertaining. The sheer stupidity, ignorance and arrogance from the government side contradicts completely with the calm, cool, wit from the opposition benches.

Seems like most of the government side cannot handle them and most of them walk out or fall asleep.

It was brilliant when Joe MIzzi was asleep and suddenly woke up screaming at some comment he did not like. The PN are well aware that there are people listening to these debates and try and give us a good imagery of what is happening inside. Thank you all.

Turning to the dismissal of Manuel Mallia from the post of Minister, she questioned the Office of the Prime Minister’s involvement in the whole issue.

“Kurt Farrugia doesn’t do anything without being given the OK by the Prime Minister,” she said. Kurt Farrugia issued the statement which contained inaccuracies on the incident involving the Minister’s driver.
