When lobbying and voting etc. gets underway in Brussels, and when Hollande supported Muscat in the election campaign, when Vivienne Reading’s hands were tied, this was not by sheer coincidence.

So now should we choose to compartmentalise because to do otherwise is too horrific?

If one has slipped up in a security issue at any one point, this has consequences.

The balance of total visible consequences tells one story, but the reality of matters sets out a different picture that influences the whole with a different charge of responsibility.

In other words, it is not only Muscat who “comes across as a brazen cynic.”

Evidently, the sole aim was to have it go on unnoticed for as long as possible and to keep a close watch and direct-to-scam-source reporting channel – on a different loop to George Vella’s and Louis Grech’s official Ministry channels – on what was going on for reasons other than that.

So much so, that the man placed in charge is the second cousin to Joseph Muscat.

The intention, again, is what we should be looking at: the intention was to by-pass checks and have the system work as a scam.

Statistics were being monitored, and doctored, VERY closely for profit-with-benefits, and not for security purposes.

Well, Kevin, what can I say? At least you’ve shown our compatriots why the expression is “sheep’s clothing” and not the “sheep’s skin” they keep talking about.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise.”

Sorry, I missed that.

I don’t miss Kevin, but when he’s absent I worry that he might have been topping himself.

You misunderstood my comment. It was targeted at kev. It even shows his name next to the arrow near my name.

As for your work, I have no idea how you do post as much as you do. I suspect you have a superhero costume at home. I’m a huge fan of your work and I do miss you when you go on holiday.

Maybe you’re suggesting that all North Africans and Syrians be denied entry to France?

That’s like saying that all Maltese should have been denied entry to the British Isles on the basis that London crime was run by Maltese men.

The Maltese embassy is unreachable and the emergency number was answered by someone who had no idea what was going on.

Insurance offices are unreachable on weekends and Air Malta wants to charge us a full flight fee to get out of here tomorrow. Might as well stay here and wait it out.

With all the government knowledge, no one even bothered to check about any Maltese citizens who might be in Paris. And there comes good guy Vodafone giving free credit to all Maltese in France.

Again, what a mess of a country.
