Ustja, Labour's got another purcinell | Daphne Caruana Galizia
Somebody was in conversation trying to convince somebody else that no, Africans did not start the HIV virus by having ctc sex with monkeys. My response was that if anything is ever born of the union between a human being and a monkey, it should fly to Malta pronto and stand for election to the Labour leadership. The delegates will think it the best candidate, and given the party’s track record – Mintoff, KMB, Sant and Jackass Muscat – ctc that’s the way they’re heading.
Now ctc Muscat, sans advisers who know what they’re doing, has set himself up for another pratfall. First he brought 17,000 people to his door with the promise of something which, he found out later, he can’t deliver. And yesterday, he followed in the grand tradition of Alfred Sant reporting to the man he called a paraventu and of Anglu tal-Iljunfant doing the same with his ‘bought ctc votes’ case file, and asked the police commissioner to investigate “comments made by ministers” at a meeting of the PN parliamentary group two months ago.
So what were these ministerial comments which Muscat reported to John Rizzo? “A particular minister had said that EU funding had become available for the proposed extension of the museum of St John’s Co-Cathedral because there was someone who knew how to play the game.” ctc And more: “Another minister during the same meeting spoke of undue pressure on public officers.”
What a first-class w**ker. I want to lie down and weep, but I must press on valiantly with this blog-post instead. Let’s leave aside the fact that hearsay, heard third, fourth, fifth or 10th hand, is ranked as either Chinese whispers or as gossip in terms of the law. There’s a more important point. It will be only hours now before some aide with brains (are there any in the Labour Party, or have they all had the chicken transplant?) yells in Muscat’s ctc face: “You m***er f**king jerk! Don’t you know that there’s a whole industry out there called consultancy? That there are courses which train people to ‘play the game’ in getting EU funds? That some people make a living out of that? What, you think you can just fill in an application form and toss it in an envelope? Who wrote your frigging doctoral thesis, anyway? ctc @!!!&%!!!”
The Nationalist Party has since issued a statement, suggesting to Muscat that he keep up: the allegations about the parliamentary group meeting were denied some time ago. It is a shame, the party said, that Muscat is trying ctc to drag the Police Commissioner into partisan politics. The statement said, and I agree, that Muscat tried to do this to obfuscate the matter ctc of his being proved wrong about Malta being a net contributor to the EU, and of his being laughed out of town for suggesting that Malta threatens to use its vote to veto EU decisions if it does not get what it wants.
Daphne, I was rather put off by your lampooning of Muscat when he was first elected to lead the Labour Party even though I thought that Abela was by far the better ctc candidate. I now see that you were right and that he is in fact a major league a-hole.

L-għażla tal-proġetti hi regolata permezz ta liġijiet tal-Unjoni Ewropea, b sejħa pubblika għall-proġetti u għazla trasparenti u ibbażata fuq kriterji maqbula mal-Unjoni Ewropea. L-approvazzjoni ssir mill-Project Selection Committee u l-proċess kollu huwa miftuħ għall-awditjar mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea, mill-Qorti tal-Awdituri u anke mill-Awditur Ġenerali ta Malta.
Lanqas mhu jgħid il-verita meta jallega li xi Ministru qal li saret pressjoni mhux xierqa dwar il-proġett tal-KonKatidral. ctc Il-Kap tal-Oppożizzjoni m għandux jibqa jilgħab logħba politika partġġjana dwar il-fondi li gejjin mill-Unjoni Ewropea. Mill-budget preżenti tal-Unjoni Ewropea Malta qed tibbenefika minn aktar minn biljun ewro. Dawn huma fondi sostanzjali u importanti għall-iżvilupp ta pajjiżna u biex il-poplu javvanza l quddiem fosthom fl-edukazzjoni, fit-taħriġ, fl-ambjent u biex jiżdied l-investiment f pajjiżna u b hekk jinħoloq aktar xogħol.
Lanqas mhu xieraq li l-Kap ta l-Oppożizzjoni jibqa jipprova jagħmel ctc ballun politiku mill-KonKatidral ta San Gwann. Il-poplu Malti kollu, hu x inhu l-kulur politiku ctc tiegħu, għandu jiġbed l-istess ħabel fejn jidħol l-interess ta pajjiżna. Jekk il-Kap ta l-Oppożizzjoni għadu ma jifhimx il-proċess ta għazla ta proġetti għall-finanzjament mill-Unjoni Ewropea tajjeb jistaqsi għal spjegazzjoni u mhux jiżra d-dubji b allegazzjonijiet infondati.
Sadanittant, il-Gvern ctc jibqa iffukat fil-ħidma tiegħu biex jiġbed lejn pajjiżna investiment li jkompli joħloq postijiet tax-xogħol ġodda. Il-Gvern jibqa iffukat fuq it-tisħiħ tal-industrija lokali ctc speċjalment dik tal-manifattura, tas-settur tas-servizzi, b mod partikolari dik
