In reply to S Calleja. There are no good intentions in these dealings. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Sounds right, but there is some form of undercurrent.

Whereas Taghna Lkollers were previously Super-One-quoting “Gonzi complaint this” and “Gonzi / NP complaint that”, true Labour supporters of the type you mention are now grumbling about what’s not currently right but failing to ascribe, or falling short of ascribing, the wrongdoings.

However, the rub for me is that these people (still of the same type) then still accept direct orders when it suits. Now whether they are grumbling sincerely, grumbling in order to get them or grumbling because they’ve so far not gotten quite what they initially wanted is not entirely clear.

I hear you, Daphne, and I understand. But for your average bum/watchman/kaccatur living in his government flat, it’s like trying to explain calculus to my dog. There’s the rub.

I do not agree that the government is “one step away from portraying corruption and funny business as positive as long as it leads to “investment””. It is already doing so with a righteousness which is frightening.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions…
