The Prime Minister hires his own car to the Government as the Prime Minister’s official car.

But to be positive, neutral and balanced I have to concede that the spouse of the PM uses their official residence for charitable activities.

Was it Mother Theresa who said “love till it hurts” ?

I second this comment.

There is, however, a glimmer of hope. Simon Busuttil has many of those qualities that are the polar opposite of the Taghna Lkoll:
decency, self-effacement, good manners, a conscience, a certain introspection.

All he needs to do is make sure it is these qualities which shine through, and not the effort to please. That goes for his entourage as well as himself.

In spirit, he is the anti-Muscat.

He needs to be the anti-Muscat in action too.

That is something reserved for our great positive leader of the muviment il-gdid.

Although I can’t imagine there was much. Only the truly arrogant would publish (or allow to be published) a biography when they’re under the age of 40; and only a mindless few would buy it.

Not even Labourites have understood that they are not part of the plan except when voting comes into play.
