latest comment from John, 09/06/2024 21:03:Get off your high horse Mr PM and start tackling corruption in your backyard and the rape of Malta’s natural and built environment by your henchmen. Make Evans a retirement home for Valletta and Floriana citizens not another jop for the kuntratturi boys. Half of Maltas citizens needed to appeal an PA decision in their neighbourhood since you took over and you expect people to be happy or satisfied? Introduce planning and invite the greens to help manage the environmental portfolio if you’re serious. They can work while you’re cruising.

latest comment from L F Cassar, 09/06/2024 17:33:Well done Arnold! Hopefully, you will secure a seat, athough potentially difficult. Fingers crossed however. The blame game within the PL has commenced; it may even turn into a witch-hunt, but the real evil lies very much within the corridors of power. I was naive to say in the past that developers had ministers and other high ranking officials in their pockets. Alas, I now suspect, as very many others do, that nobody is in anyone's pocket... they are merely silent partners!
