Not so Smart anymore

Joseph Camilleri, Mtarfa

Has anyone of late seen any billboard or lamppost advert about Smart Island, Smart People, Smart Women etc...?

The campaign was either part and parcel of the "power of incumbency" tool used by the government/gonzipn party to instil a feel good factor among the people pre-election or else we've all turned dumb since and there's nothing any longer to flaunt.

Mr. Camilleri, please note that billboards alone do not produce any work. Work is being done where it should be done at this point in time. People are being employed by SmartCity and other companies. For more information see the Top Stories in the following link: http://www.smartcity.ae/malta/index.html

Charles, If it were you I'd go to grade 1 and restart math all over, as from when has 3 become 5? Or have you nationalists forgotten your 1996 Defeat, which by the way was not marginal!! and by no means a victory of 1500/ 0.5%!!!!

Speaking as a student i think the campaign was a huge success; i've benefited from the blue skies offer, many fellow students have been able to purchase much-needed laptops a bit cheaper while parents and the older generation have benefited from the free courses offered in I.T and computing.

What was Labour's policy on the matter? Oh wait thats right....there wasn't any.

Please Joseph we have had enough of this rubbish. It seems that you are of those who cannot stomach the fact that your party lost the election for the 5th time. Pls be patient you will have an other chance in five yrs time. In the meantime i suggest you try to occupy yourself with something else.
