Just pay those ministers a proper salary, eat your hat about those Eur500, and have done with this farce

    Muscat’s cornered on this one, unless he’ll take to musical chairs.

    Backbenchers galore and mutiny’s just harmless with all those seats.

    No way, they should not take a pay rise of €500 a week while we get only €3.89 !

    The next thing you’ll be writing is “Just forget about the 25% cheaper tariffs promise and eat the proverbial humble pie in the sky €500,000,000 power station and get that gas pipeline installed.

    Don’t forget that they have a road map and everything is ‘costed’ and planned to the minutest detail.Let them show us that they are better than the GonziPN lot, while they keep ALL their promises .

        Daphne reads people’s minds better than you do, Baxx, and if you disagree, then I have to congratulate you with an “It takes one to know one.”

        Pick and choose.

        Huh?

        It’s just that sarcasm is so rare among comments on this blog that I assumed you were dead earnest.

    I like this man; he’s assertive…like his wife, Ann Fenech.

    No beating about the bush.

    He won’t let his department’s reputation to be tainted; he’s got no indispensable “prima donnas” in his department.

    He managed without Franco Mercieca’s services for the whole three months of the electoral campaign.

    He’s a breath of fresh air, may I add.

      Jos. Muscat ‘bi zvista’ asked members of the Broadcasting Authority to resign. In like manner, ‘bi zvista’, he asked those persons entrusted to represent Maltese citizens living abroad to resign from their post. I do not think that Franco Mercieca can possibly abandon his profession. He will be needed in Parliament checking the P.L.’s members’ eyesight.

    That’s probably why only one of the Farrugias was appointed Minister – they would certainly not afford to live on two ministerial salaries.

    Dal-każ ifakkarni f’Alfred Sant meta qal “tbażwar minn hawn u tbażwar minn hemm”.

    Jidher ċar li l-unika intenzjoni ta’ Joseph Muscat hi li jakkomoda lil Franco Mercieca li fil-perjodu ta’ bejn it-tħabbir tar-riżultat elettorali u l-ħatra tal-kabinett kien stqarr li Muscat kien avviċinah, imma Mercieca kien għadu qed jevalwa u jikkonsidra għax il-professjoni kien iħobbha.

    Mela wieħed jista’ jobsor li FM qabel aċċetta għamel kundizzjoni u forsi għalhekk li tah Segretarjat ‘lean’ tal-anzjani, li minnu neħħielu l-ikbar istituzzjoni tal-anzjani i.e. St Vincent de Paule.

    Ċertament li Franco Mercieca mhux indispensabbli fil-qasam tal-anzjani. Il-Prim Ministru seta’ ċertament, kieku ried, sab lil xi ħadd ieħor f’dan il-qasam.

    Jekk verament, kif nemmen li hu, dan Franco Mercieca ghandu tant ghal qalbu lil pazjenti tieghu u dawk ohrajn li jista jkollu ‘l quddiem, jista facilment isolvi l-basla li dahal fiha.

    Jista llum qabel ghada jitlaq il-post ta’ Segretarju Parlamentari u jkompli x-xoghol tajjeb tieghu fost il-pazjenti u xorta jibqa membru parlamentari.

    Fid-dinja kultant trid taghzel bejn haga u ohra. Ma tistax tahtaf kollox f’salt.

    Imma wisq nahseb li l-flus jitilghu ghal rashom dawn in-nies. Mhux hekk?
