I hope you mean what the hack, not hell.

The spectacle of this duo gloating publicly at the misfortune of the Greek nation which has been deceived, robbed, humiliated and bankrupted by the cronyism, nepotism and corruption of its political class, especially Syriza which reversed the reforms made by earlier governments and used public money to shore up and solidify its constituency (does this ring a bell?), is most unedifying.

Muscat’s and Scicluna’s poorly-veiled threats at the Greek government were disgusting and ridiculous.

Perhaps, sucking up to the fiscal hawks might give some results on a personal level.

Mark Rutte might not be as posh and powerful as David Cameron, but he`s still a fine specimen of a man. No harm in trying to see whether he`s less immune to suckers.

After all, we only managed to avoid the same fate because Lawrence Gonzi and Tonio Fenech handled Malta’s finances prudently and wisely during the worst financial crisis this side of the Great Depression, ignoring the idiotic advice of the Opposition, led by one Joseph Muscat.

Had the Nationalists embarked on an orgy of shady deals with dodgy businessmen, giving them millions of euros in land and cash, putting masses of their cronies on the public sector payroll, handing over key sectors of the economy to corrupt dictatorships, bailing out bankrupt businesses owned by party friends, making secret deals with shady Middle Eastern operations and creating hundreds of fake jobs and sinecures for their relatives, canvassers and assorted hangers-on, bloating the civil service in the process, to try to get themselves re-elected, we would be in the same sinking boat as the Greeks.

A haulier is a transporter. They mean stevedores.

Again, the meaning of words.

No wonder they seated him as far away from the centre of the table as possible.

Joseph: *logs into Twitter*

WTH is the new WTF. I like it.
