Bortex’s auditors are PWC.
Meaning? (It would be interesting to know who the auditors of Leisure Clothing are.)
Time for another name change: Slave Labour Party
In Malta in 2014, one Chinese national earns Euro 156,000 per annum. In Malta in 2014, 240 Chinese slave workers in Malta each earn an average of Euro 1000 per annum. The slave workers work in a sweatshop 15 hours a day while the other is living somewhere in China. Welcome to the Anti- Imperialist Malta Democratic Workers Party. Please enjoy your stay.
Mancava solo lui.
Evarist Bartolo, Jimmy Magro, Lino Spiteri, Leo Brincat: it’s the cashmere socialists.
The gauche caviar.
Very happy for everyone else to be socialist but they want yachts and champagne for themselves.
Cashmere items are what they used to produce some time back.

Chinese Minister at Leisure Clothing in 2010
Leo Brincat: bank teller becomes Finance Minister.
That’s what I call meritocracy.
Isthi, Tony Zarb – issa qed titpaxxa taht il-Labour u thalli l-haddiem skjav u bil-prekarjat. Issa sablek post fl-ahhar Joseph talli qdejtu mill-koxxa hux?
Traditur tal-haddiem. Hekk ser tibqa mnizzel fl-istorja trejdunjonistika Maltija.
Ramona Frendo used to work for Manuel Mallia for years.
[Daphne – Yes, I know. She was part of cocaine trafficker Meinrad Calleja’s defence team.]
She must have got the taste of easy money from there then.
What a bunch of painful hemorrhoids in Malta’s nether regions – the whole filthy, thieving, greedy, corrupt lot of Team PL.
Out of sheer curiosity, where there ever any PN officials in Leisure Clothing top management?
ARE THE USUALLY VOCAL WOMEN’S RIGHTS’ ACTIVISTS ASLEEP?
Another proof that you cannot trust anyone connected to Labour.
We can understand why Dr Ramona sticks up for the government so fervently when she is an ‘opinjonista’ on TV.
