Just for the record. Mario Felice was never a minister. He was an MP when the Nationalist Party was in Oppostion between 1971 and 1986. He was a shadow minister during that period. It was his father Giovanni who was a minister.

The Libyan crisis is not our making and we had little that we could do.
The euro crisis I assume is caused by what an E.U. statesman said: ''We are now living in a German-dominated Europe - something that the European project was actually supposted to stop.'' Nigel Farage. Today not only Brussels is run by unelected elite technocrats but they are forcing other countries to have non elected elites who in turn they have no one to account too.
As for Divorce and Arriva I keep saying: ''The greatest miracle in this century is the fact that politicians are tolerated.

2011 in Malta is not over yet, by far. There are still two days to end 2011 and tomorrow might be the most significant day of the year for Malta and GonziPN. If Dr Gonzi agrees to the terms of Dr Franco Debono then the politics in Malta will be heavily effected. If Dr Gonzi does not go along with the threats of Dr Debono and Dr Debono goes through with his promise then Dr Gonzi has a huge problem. Dr Franco Debono seems to be riding in the drivers seat. Quo Vadis Franco? This time abstaining is not an option, because if you back off, your word will not be worth much in the political world. You made the bed that you will lay on, you have to decide, what it is that you want. On the other hand I hope there is some kind of compromise between Dr Gonzi and yourself. A lot is at stake for the both of you and the whole country. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Time is passing.
We are not going to live forever.
We are not getting any younger.
Are we on the right track or are we off ?

Best wishes.

F'din is-sena tghallimt li l-politici huma l-iktar nies opportunisti li jezistu, minhabba l-fatt li dak li qal JPO qabel l-elezzjoni wara mhux talli mar kontra kelmtu imma talli ghamel private members bill bi tradiment ghal min ivvutalu. Tghallimt ukoll dwar l-ipokrezija ta' certu nies li jilghabuha ta nsara fejn jaqbililhom imma ma jsibux problema jghajjru lil isqfijiet taghna, biex jintghogbu mikk-partit taghhom. Tghallimt li l-ewwel kmandament mhux ma jkollokx Alla iehor ghajrek, imma li l-leader tal-partit huwa qabel Alla. L-ipokrezija politika tal-Maltin tisboqq kull talent iehor.

While mentioning all the good and bad news in 2011, I wonder how the best ever good news for Sports in Malta is missing. I am referring to the first ever GOLD MEDAL and the first ever OLYMPIC QUOTA PLACE won by Maltese shooter William Chetcuti in The ISSF World Cup 2011 Beijing. This sounds a little bit odd when considering other Nations are doing their best to promote their Olympic Athletes. A case in point is the airport in Sweden where their Olympic shooter Hakan Dahlby is prominently advertised in all over the place.
So let us all unite for once and support our Olympic Athlete William Chetcuti that will be representing all Maltese Nationals at The LONDON 2012 on the 2nd August 2012.
