What an embarrassment they are. How could they, and particularly Joseph Muscat, strut and puff out his chest as Prime Minister of the member state currently holding the rotating presidency of the EU? He should hide his face in abject shame for every one of his actions since the fools and the blind voted him into government.

Sometimes I wonder whether there’s more to the triad than meets the eye.

It’s the “laqwa li tidhol il paga” syndrome. Those who remain silent or who defend such actions have a vested interest.

This is a another reason why it will be hard for the Nationalist Party to win enough votes to put an end to this blatant abuse of power. Many, especially those in their twenties feel that as long as their financial situation is sound a change in Government is not required irrespective of the lack of good governance, lack of meritocracy, lack of transparency all of which should have been reasons to oust the previous party in Government in the first place. The irony of it all.

Give these people a good salary, their Facebook account, their movie and sports TV subscription and let them enjoy the village Festa and show off their tattoos. This is the sorry situation we’re in. Alienation.
