They’re called ‘political fans’. There was a good article about this phenomenon, in the Financial Times. I’ll try to find it.

In reply to Joanne Pace.

I’m not interested in ‘some bones’. If I had to go to town on the random bones of Frank Portelli and Adrian Delia, I would be glued to my laptop and phone from now until next year.

You will notice that I only stuck to the main stuff.

Good, that’s what I wanted, some feed back. But remember if you dig deep enough all have a few bones here and there, gone are the days of Eddie Fenech Adami, whom I hold in high esteem.

In the absence of a decent, upright and truly honest candidate with leadership skills but without any baggage for the post of Nationalist Party leader ( none of the four current candidates seem to qualify for the above) I would still prefer having another Simon Busuttil leading the PN even though another defeat at the polls would be anticipated.

Power at all costs, even at the cost of abandoning one’s principles and debasing oneself to the gutter of most of our current politicians is not for me. If the majority so decide, so be it but I will not have any part in it.

In reply to nobody new.

I hate to break this to you, but if you are five years younger than I am, we’re the same generation. If people five years apart are not the same generation, then siblings wouldn’t belong to the same generation, but they obviously do.

Five years make a lot of difference when you are a teenager, but by the time you’re in your 20s, it doesn’t. In fact, Georg and I were friends back in our 20s.

Every generation has high hopes in youth, but all kinds of high hopes tend to be dashed by middle age anyway.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Remember the film where Michael Douglas says "Greed is good" and its sequel where referring to this same phrase he says "Greed is not only good, it has become legal"?
