Jesmond Borg gives two lectures a week and the rest of his time is spent canvassing in the streets of Qala.

He has turned ITS Gozo into an a partisan local council office, and all this off the back of the taxpayer. Shame on them.

The pity is that we have now politicised an important aspect of tourism: educational and training development.

This obviously leads to a degeneration of the industry as we had in the period between 1981 – 1986.

Call ITS Gozo every hour every day and see if he is there, then follow up with another call.

In reply to john.

John, have you ever watched Hard Talk?

David Thake is very good at not allowing interviewees to evade his questions – that’s when he interrupts.

He is the most effective interviewer we have in Malta at the moment and if more journalists were like him many more scandals would be exposed.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Chef? Does that mean that he trained in a top cookery school and worked his way up in top restaurants and hotels round Europe which is the route a chef would take. Or do they mean 'cook' ?

In reply to David Thake.

You do a great job of getting under your interviewees’ skin.

It’s what Malta needs, somebody to keep them on their toes and let them know they can’t get away with all this.
