Comment of the evening (with scoop photograph)
What’s Karmenu Vella doing here, in this paparazzi shot at the Hilton? I can identify Oliver Said, who worked in financial services in Dubai for some years and is probably there still. But who are the Middle Eastern gentlemen?

It always struck me as odd that, this time round, the PL telethon churned up a sum well in excess of that generated by the PN telethon, when the reverse result was the always the norm in all similar events over the years.
It now looks like the oil scandal syndicate might have already gone environmentally friendly and put its finger into the gas supply set up.
That would explain the illogical and economically senseless insistence by the PL on a new power station fed by gas tankers when an EU funded natural gas pipeline to the EU supply grid and the interconnector cable are now realities.
It also puts the PL insistence on a ten-year gas supply contact in a whole new light.
If Joseph Muscat was aware of all this, he should resign.
If Joseph Muscat was acting in good faith he should resign in order to retain whatever shreds of credibility he might still enjoy.
If Joseph Muscat, as party leader, never picked up any clue as to what the party financial controller was involved in, he should also resign as he is an incompetent party leader and certainly even less fit to lead the nation as prime minister.

Muscat was caught lying, so he should resign.
Farrugia Sacco was caught lying, so he should resign.
Mallia was caught lying, so he should resign.
Chris Cardona was caught lying, so he should resign. If he wasn’t lying about seeing George Farrugia’s police statement, then he should resign.
Evarist Bartolo was caught lying, so he should resign.
Karmenu Vella, Marie Louise Coleiro, Leo Brincat, Joe Debono Grech, and the rest of the Golden Years racanc shouldn’t be there anyway, so they should resign.
Erm, who’s left?
Jason!
Debbie tad-divorzju :D
Oliver Said still works in the Middle East. Not sure if it is Dubai or Bahrain
Oliver works in Saudi but commutes to Dubai ( owns an apartment there )
Could be discussing a hedging agreement with Qatar. They’ve got lots of gas…and love Labour to bits. Who knows?
My question now, at this point in time, is also whether the monies that Cordina was pocketing were being channelled into the PL’s bank accounts.
We know that Joseph and the rest of the clan are lying when they say that they had no idea of this happening. So it would be all too easy for Joseph to say, “Look, continue what you’re doing, and we’ll do our best to continue covering up your actions and defending you, but give us a significant cut of your commission.” It’s all too plausible.
It would definitely explain the elaborate use of funding on their part during this electoral campaign.
