Perhaps the statement was open only for those countries whose PM can make a decision when an Embassy on their turf is hijacked by an unaccredited person.

As we have seen, Joseph Muscat is not one of these.

Well done for picking this up, Daphne.

Maltese professional diplomats have been replaced by those promised an iced bun and kicked out of the system.

The newbies are ineffective and inefficient.

At a time when war is raging closest to our shores more than ever since our independence, who do we have in Washington, in London, in Paris? Not exactly a confidence-inspiring lot, are they.

“Did Gaddafi bankroll the Labour Party in the same way that he bankrolled Dom Mintoff’s social services programme? Is the Labour Party still now receiving money from Libya which would account for its reluctance to commit itself in this crisis?”

Aha, the Maltese government only deals and makes joint statements with dictatorial ones.
