Former Labour prime minister thinks the Maltese should seize 'foreigners' businesses' in Libya
Who would have thought, back then, that these two would still be around and trying to tell us what to do in 2011?
So Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici tells us that it is safe to go back to Tripoli and work now. Better still, he says that we should seize the day and rush to take over the businesses that have been abandoned by ‘foreigners’.
Some things never change. Dr Zero’s blindness about Muammar Gaddafi is one of them. Another is his inability to grasp the meaning of ‘rule of law’.
Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition has told The Times – which questioned him about Mifsud Bonnici’s whacko comments – that he will not say anything at all about Libya, because “we should be prudent”.
Unbelievable. A certified prat.
I suspect that the real reason Muscat won’t say anything about Libya is that he hasn’t got what it takes to form a sensible opinion and let us know it.
Every time he moves out of his comfort zone of glorified bandclub politics, he makes a hash of things. Look what happened when he pronounced himself on Tunisia (universal derision), and on how he thinks Malta should behave on the matter of boat-people (Norman Lowell’s certificate of approval).

KMB is always looking for an opportunity to grab the property of others.
In the 1980s, it was the Church property.
Now it’s the assets of foreigners in Libya.
I don’t think you are being fair to KMB. He never said that the Maltese should go and take over the buisnesses that have been abandoned by foreigners… What he said was that we should go over and continue the work on the projects……of course i don’t agree, but fair is fair
When it comes to Dr.Muscat, I find he is proving himself a formidable chess player and playing his pieces well and continuously check. mating the P.N.
Hallina Johnny, Joseph Muscat can’t even spell checkmate.
He has no opinion on anything, and his only effort to play politics is to sit on the fence.
The only people checkmating the PN are people like Tonio ‘fundamentalist’ Fenech. He has become an embarrassment to most of his colleagues. He should stop writing stupid, patronising articles about divorce, when his job is to organise the nation’s finances, and possibly address the VAT fraud cases, and the bribery conviction of his former aide.
That is exactly what J oseph Muscat is doing, giving them enough rope to hang themselves, and they are swallowing the bait everytime, while he sits back and watches them make a mess of it.
Tonio Fenech is the most obvious target owing to his immaturity and to the many media stories in which he has featured. He has become an embarrassment to the P.N. and the sooner they get rid of him, the better their chances of winning the next election will be.
That’s a great idea of Karmenu’s. I’ll take the first plane that can get me to Libya, even a Mirage, and take over that glass products factory owned by somebody called Dalli from Portomaso.
Actually a few days ago the local rags reported a considerable increase in tourism to Southern Mediterranean destinations due to the unrest in Tunisia and Egypt.
[Daphne – Tunisia is a southern Mediterranean destination.]
Apologies, should have read “Southern European”. Comes out of doing 12 things at once when posting on your blog.
We humans all have weird ideas sometimes, I guess. The truth is that Muammar is on the way out.
‘Every time he moves out of his comfort zone of glorified bandclub politics, he makes a hash of things.’
To be fair he also makes a hash of things in bandclub politics. Whatever happened to the living wage?
I admire Joey for one thing.
He is aware of his limitations. He knows he is completely out of his depth in matters concerning foreign affairs (and most other affairs for that matter) and opts to keep his mouth shut.
I must concede it to the guy. At least he has some insight.
KMB: if it is safe in Libya now, it means that everything is back to normal. If it was, my 70-year old mother-in-law would have found the Maltese Embassy in Libya opened and be issued with a visa to visit us in Malta. She found closed doors everywhere.
She didn’t know which number to phone for a visa to be issued en route, like the ex-Libyan minister who escaped on a ‘fishing boat’ .
