So if the same price was offered by a third party, the only reason the PM chose to use public money was only for the commission and votes.

We are also forgetting that Cafe Premier is not in a dilapidated state. It was refurbished a few years ago. Here’s what it looked like in 2014, otherwise go to tripadvisor.

Muscat is trained and over self-confident in the art of sales talk.

When he gets something right, you will be told it’s the first time it has happened and God sent me to you.

When he is caught out he simply makes a false assertion in the opposite direction.

He gave 4 million to “entrepreneurs”, but he tells us we “recovered” that amount.

Super 1 is trying to convince us that the decision taken was the only sensible solution.

Government lost money in this deal. It didn’t gain any.

Normally banks ask for substantial collateral. Was this loan / overdraft above board? That amount of write off for a small bank would have really hurt.

U jippretendu li l-poplu ihallas it-taxxi.
