Franco Debono can never be part of the solution, when he actually is part of the problem. No way.

Daphne is an easy scapegoat for people’s own failures, not least because such people fail to acknowledge that she is an independent journalist – maybe because, with their typical Maltese mindset, they find it hard to understand that somebody would do something so momentuous not for personal gain, but purely out of conviction, and to stand up for what is right even when the tide is against you. Thankfully, our parents brought us up to do and think differently to those people who think that a proper place for a head is below the parapet.

By the way, drop this positivity nonsense. It is a damaging concept. It is unsustainable.

Humans have a wide range of emotions that need to be experienced. No amount of haranguing can force a person change what they are feeling, when instinct tells them that they are in the right place at the right time.

Do you tell a grieving parent to be positive after the death of a beloved child? Of course an actor or cheat can overcome this natural instinct by pretending all is well. A normal person will find this pretence very difficult.

Success and prosperity DO NOT happen over a four-year period, Mallia. Ask any well respected businessman how long it takes to build a company and honest reputation. There are two reasons that this happened.

One, the proper groundwork was laid years before and the result began to be seen during the Muscat years. Lucky him, he didn’t need to lift a finger. The table was all ready set for a feast.

Two, no serious entity makes a success of an undertaking in four years unless elements of corruption are present.

I too have friends who work at Betsson and they all voted Labour. They just don’t care.

And Muscat, the ‘King’ of Malta, can give them untold millions from the public purse — just because the PM has the power — and nobody can stop him.

I can assure you that Muscat was summoned and the boss will make him smell the coffee first thing in the morning.

In reply to Gerd. Gerd, I was being sarcastic. However I like your sound arguments. Wish you a good night as well.
