I have never studied accounts at a basic level and I am lost. Having said this my next election vote has already docked on the PN side even though I did not grasp the technical details.

Aspergers have a main detailed operational focus.
Highly functional Aspergers learn about emotions by studying it in others and then applying their observations.

He has Aspergers Syndrome. They don’t have normal reactions. Or rather, they don’t know what sort of reaction is expected from them in any given circumstances.

Louis Grech is the deputy prime minister. Mizzi is to replace Toni Abela, who was deputy leader for party affairs.

Konrad Mizzi was manoeuvered into position as a useful tool.

Remember his endless raving about how brilliant a Labour government was going to be with these companies setting up base to trade in fuel.

We were then told that commercial sensitivity prevented him from telling the electorate more about it, that no contract on fuel procurement can be released, not by anyone.

At this point it may be more sensible to learn whose employee, effectively, Konrad Mizzi is, and how he appeared to come out of nowhere to be Joseph’s star candidate in 2013.
