His father runs the Labour Party TV station and used to be a kingpin at the General Workers Union, so basically he’s where he belongs anyway.

You will notice that I described EXACTLY the people I had in mind – Malta’s ghastliest and most pretentious snobs, who then debased themselves by crowding round a corrupt cuttlefish and his praying mantis wife, to whom they would never have given the time of day in any other circumstances. Telling them that they have bad, bad, bad taste is the worst insult possible in their mind, but boy, do they deserve it. Can’t stand them – and I repeat, I know exactly who I have in mind and it really isn’t you.

You cannot make such a comparison. Our situation is different. There are criminal allegations here.

Let us say that the electorate confirms Muscat and his cronies. They will simply be condoning and confirming corruption but that doesn’t make it right. They must still be investigated and arraigned. That is the proper course to take.

We are living in the time of absurdity. Common sense and the rule of law need to be upheld. Joseph Muscat MUST NOT be allowed to present himself again to the electorate.

Revelations, not allegations.

This election may be rigged and Joseph Muscat will state that he has a mandate irrespective of all the “allegations”.
