In reply to Le pauvre homme. Note to self: and this alone has negated any COLA increases of the last 3 years. Factor in inflation (food and rents especially), higher licence/permit costs, import duties and the picture is bleaker still.

Ah, but the point that you miss is that the Nationalist Party would NEVER have elected John Dalli leader. He didn’t stand a snow-ball’s chance in hell.

THAT is the difference between the parties.

When oil was last this price, petrol was 86-odd cents/litre. Now it’s 1.31 euro. We – all of us, whether PL, PN, PD, AD, don’t know, didn’t vote etc – are therefore paying at least 40c/litre over the odds. That’s over 400 euro/year for the average motorist (read voter).

In reply to Edgar Gatt. That's because it's Labour governments which cause the crises.

I met an old man at the demonstration yesterday who told me these words which are very true. ”When the country is passing through dangerous crises the PN is always elected and when the country is doing well the PL are elected.”

In reply to La Redoute.

Singapore beckons, will it be the new riches and an all encompassing state or that thing called liberty with its mundane consequences.

Muscat was adamant yesterday; if Busuttil came up with the notion of a metro, his will be bigger, faster and delivered in half the time.

The war is cultural, spiritual and one of pure style. Yes, it is a war.

I really liked reading Ryan Murdock’s blog until he left Malta earlier this year. As a Maltese who lived away from Malta for 14 years and came back to witness this mess, I understand and identify with his views about Malta. I wish you luck and happiness in Berlin and wherever your journey may take you.
