  • The Road to Perdition

    The Road to Perdition

    One of the most repeated mantras under the last administration was that it was too arrogant. Arrogance had become the byword for Muscat’s opposition, stirring up the people’s hatred and chips until they could take no more. One would expect that after two years of Labour government we would have anything but an arrogant government.…

    A Chimney Sweep Movement

    Maltese politicians have no balls. Rather the few balls that might have existed in the political milieu seem to be held firmly in the grasp of the construction industry.

We are told that…

    American Lie

    Gullible. That is the only word I can find that describes the citizens of this nation. The question really is whether the immediate entourage surrounding Prime Minister Muscat are also equally prone to swallow his tales hook, line and sinker or whether they are in on the scam. The sparkle in their eyes when they…
