Labour's cost estimates 'an insult to intelligence' - Busuttil

Mary Borg

Feb 10th, 22:50

"I did not insult Deborah Schembri. If Deborah felt offended I apologise, but I simply noted that once you remove the PL's glossy wrapper you'll find the Labour of old.

Really? So a couple has two kids. You're telling us that if you 'remove' the new members, you end up with the same people? Don't you think that at some point there is an evolution in their dynamics as adults, couple and parents?

The Labour Party is setting European standards in the local political debate. For the first time ever, a major infrastructure in energy production, was costed. This week we also had the costings of a whole political program. This is a step forward towards political maturity. Do let anyone degenerate these modern financial procedures into pique or stupid remarks as those uttered Simon and Fenech!

Labour's cost estimates 'an insult to intelligence' - Busuttil

Dr Busuttil do you know what you are saying, because it is YOU who is insulting our intelligence now..!! The general strong opinion is that the PL has the MOST strong team of candidates a political party ever had so far.. And You Know that TOO..!!

Wally Vella-Zarb

Feb 8th, 18:00

The claim of "insulting people's intelligence" is better applied to Dr Busuttil himself although, truth be told, he might just be conducting a damage control exercise and addressing only the converted in an attempt to stanch the haemorrhage of disgruntled PN voters. He certainly is not impressing anybody else so far.

VINCENT WILLIAMS

Feb 8th, 17:15

Without any doubt the election result will show which political party insulted the intelligence of the people. At least during the last 5 years and during the present election campaign.

Also after the election be sure that even the vast majority of the PN Councillors will clearly show who are those party officials who insulted the Councillors' own intelligence.

Doreen Attard

Feb 8th, 16:41

"an insult to intelligence" says Dr Busuttil. Can't understand how anyone connected to the PN can say such a thing when their party has been insulting the intelligence of the people for at least five years. You only have to read what one of their own MP's wrote about it to be convinced.

M Grima

Feb 8th, 16:36

Simon has forgot that his PN did not get the costings of one single project during the past 5 years not only corrrect, but way of target by millions upon millions. But, am I surprised when for these spend-drifts, €49 million is just a drop in the ocean!!!!

Julian Grech

Feb 8th, 16:32

jaf jghidlilna kemm ghandu proposti l-pl, simon? nahseb aktar min 125 hargu le? kollha kkumpjati kienu?

M Grima

Feb 8th, 16:24

More of the same. The PN thinks they are always right and everyone else is wrong. But, now with Dr. Busuttil on the bandwagon, the twists and half-truths are getting bolder and dramatic. This is the PN's campaign, one built on scaremongering, negativeness and arrogance. This will all disappear after the 9th March.

Joseph Sammut

Feb 8th, 16:01

Labour was "insulting people's intelligence". I do not dispute this statement, but it's the kettle calling the pot black. In the past five years the people's intelligence has been insulted by having their cry go unheeded and them called "cwiec". This cannot be excused as election fever: what is unacceptable remains unacceptable during election mode. I thought both parties agreed to stay clean.

Peppi Borg

Feb 8th, 15:52

Many thought (including me) that Simon Busuttil was going to bring a new style to politics but his comment on Deborah Schembri clearly shows that he learnt nothing in Brussels but is part of an oligarchy whose trademark is old style of politics.

Peppi Borg

Feb 8th, 15:50

It is enough to review the failures of Gonzipn to realise for how long the Maltese people have been taken on a ride. Tonio Fenech made several costing exercises prior to budgets but every time he failed widely.

John Cole Smith

Feb 8th, 15:29

Gonzi and GonziPN, made a big mistake, they should have anointed Toni Fenech (b'tant vizjoni u direzjoni), not this Xmun (bla tmun).

Michael McCharty

Feb 8th, 15:29

An insult to intelligence are the recent comments you have made on the media dear Dr. Busutil. Being an ex pn supprter for the very first time in my life, I thought that, after a PN defeat in the next general election and with you at the helm replacing the clique Dr. Gonzi surrounded himself with, I for first would have joined again the party I always beleived in, but I'm also loosing faith in you

C Muscat

Feb 8th, 15:28

Jien dejjem tkellimt ghaija; u meta nintrabat b somma ghax kapaci nilhaqha. Il-PN dejjem irid izid ghal commissions li haddiehor forsi ma ghandux bzonnhom.
Imbaghad Simon Busutil ahjar jghidilna minn fejn igib il-figuri ghax jigrilu bhal Germaniza li hadulha l-grad ghax meta ikkupjat ma qalitx minn fejn.

pat muscat

Feb 8th, 15:26

In the absence of a credible program, Busuttil is putting up a wall of empty words!Perhaps he is hoping that by keeping busy, with his daily dose of empty remarks,he will persuade the electorate that Gonzi/Simon PN will not renegade on promises this time, and that his party will act decisively on balanced deficits and and control debt. Such self-delusion would be funny, if it were not so scary!

Peter Simpson

Feb 8th, 15:03

Is Dr Simon Busuttil trying to convince Minister Pullicino-seen in the picture- how to stick to the waste serve targets after budgeting one million euro and went on to squander 28 million instead? Stop insulting the intelligence of the majority of the Maltese: m'ghadniex 'cwiec' ghalkemm ta cwiec qed tkellmuna!

James Grech

Feb 8th, 14:40

PN's continuous gaffes are turning this election campaign into a joke. PBO stated on fb about the women campaigning on the PN ticket that theirs are "all women of substance when compared to the weak female Labour team". Has the promotion of homophobic sentiment also become part of PBO's work to sow hatred and division in this country? Definitely need a change in direction!!

Joseph Micallef

Feb 8th, 14:30

Is it because Simon Busuttil is so bad and overrated, as described by some, that Labour hurriedly got rid of Anglu Farrugia?

Doreen Attard

Feb 8th, 14:30

Dr Busuttil I have stopped looking forward to hearing what you have to say. You have become so quickly hackned. You repeat, in different words, what your big daddy says, however your repeats have some things that Dr Gonzi does not include in his speeches and that is stupidities.

John Cole Smith

Feb 8th, 14:29

Dr Busuttil should be an expert at insulting peoples intelligence. His Party has been doing it for the last five years.

Paul Cassar

if ESTIATES are an insult to u,s just imagine what your SPENDING in the last years was ESPECIALLY THE

600/500e weekly raise YOU secretly took.......................that was NOT AN INSULT BY PLAIN ROBBERY..........not to mention the continual overruns on practically all projects especially wasteserve where a 1 million contract ended up 29 million....................those WE CONSIDER INSULTS.

Charlot Vella

Feb 8th, 14:01

Did you know that the only difference between the main parties' manifesto is the fact that the PL manifesto mentions their proposals while the PN manifesto mentions the 'labour' government fifteen (15) times.
Insulting to the reader.

Joe Busuttil

Feb 8th, 14:00

So the Nats' new hope derides Karmenu Vella for entering politics when at the time the new hope himself was just seven! Just shows how much he still has to go to reach Karmenu's level,if ever. Keep it up Simon. .You have been a great help to the PL's cause.

Jane Schembri

Feb 8th, 13:58

James Grech

Feb 8th, 13:49

Simon, spicca zmien il buzullotti, as someone said, where's the beef? which many were promised when you were elected deputy leader? Are these the EU principals that you want to instill in our lives? The EU is all about sharing & unity, while yours is the politics of division & bad-mouthing. You've already lost your credibility and have fallen into a political limbo, you're neither here nor there.

John Zammit

Feb 8th, 13:49

Looking at the goals that this government failed to reach and deliver I don't know how he is going to reach what is promised in the manifesto

J Mifsud

Feb 8th, 13:44

Simon, I really thought that you'll be changing something in your party but you're more of the same. the more you talk, the more fool you're making out of yourself.

A Simon a day, keeps the PN away!

Simon's world is so perfect and he is so intelligent that seems that for him all PL people are an insult to intelligence. So may I ask Simon why he is not criticising his government for not demolishing JERMA at M'Scala.

James Grech

Feb 8th, 13:38

If I were a PN supporter, I would be ashamed of the way that Simon addressed Deborah, just because she chose to contribute to another party, of her own free will & because she felt that the PN has changed so much that it is irrecognizable. The PN has infact been turned into a political black-hole & managed to remove Simon's luster in just two months, let alone that of the old guard.

James Grech

Feb 8th, 13:30

The PN's costings amount to €1.1Billion, yet they fail to explain from where they will be getting the money. Now is this the responsible, solid economy that Dr.Gonzi has been promising? Furthermore, having experienced the PN for so long, we all know that their costings will most definitely overrun & that these would eventually explode into somewhere between €1.5 to €2Billion.

M. Baron

Feb 8th, 13:30

Simon SAID that he is not prepared to take on the Maltese 21st Century hero, Dr Franco Debono.
But to him an honest woman, driven only by her conscience, Deborah Schembri, was fair game.
Simon...Say something else...it can only help the PL getting elected.

Joe Muscat

Feb 8th, 13:28

The PN campaign has sunk to the lowest of all levels, delivered very abley by the new KID on the block, Simple Simon. Do they give you special arrogance training before you join the PN?

Terence Zammit

Feb 8th, 13:28

bomba busuttil ibqa izloq kuljum!!... kompli wesalna it triq!!!

M. Baron

Feb 8th, 13:26

Deborah Schembri passed judgment on an expired, compromised, menopaused PN. The best that could be gleaned from Europe chose to attach her for exercising her free will. Shame Shame Shame !

John Holmes

Feb 8th, 13:24

Oh C'mon guys, sweet faced Deb does look like a bit like a Nat, but in one of the early billboards, what does Simon's Busutill's face look like?

James Grech

Feb 8th, 13:22

The PN's track record of keeping promises is quite bad. I'm curious to know which of those promises made pre-2008 election were actually maintained. Simon is a newbie to PN politics & he fails to see what many have been seeing all along. His ineptness to spin and bad-mouthing is transpiring with each passing day. His once luster personality has already been tarnished & is now part of the old PN.

twanny borg

Feb 8th, 13:19

Li nixtieq nistaqsi jekk fl-ammont totali tal-pl hemmx inklus 80 miljun ghal licenzji li kienu thalsu u 80 miljun ohra ghal pulizija? Jista' xi hadd jikkonferma jew jistaqsi? L-ahjar jghidu kemm tigi proposta proposta bhal ma talbu u ghamel il-pn. Isa kuragg!!

John Cole Smith

Feb 8th, 13:17

Deborah Schembri has "the face of a Nationalist". Is this the man that served Malta in Europe?, Busutill has shown to what low levels he can go. Almost in all TV shows, most of his deliveries were, without any substance and lacked punch. He reminds me of old times , when neighbors used to hold shouting and offending sessions from their balconies! Not statesman like.

C Falzon

Feb 8th, 13:15

Qieghed sew dan Simon ukoll....daqqa jghid i l proposti ikkupjati..umbghad li l costings li qal il LP huma isult ghal intelligenza tal poplu. Imma jekk huma ikkupjati mhux l istess costings ghandhom? Dan li jghid hu u GonziPN biss tajjeb??? Bdw nahseb int ir wrapping paper tal PN ghax pruvaw jonfuk izzejjed taparsi partit mibdul u diga' nfqajt!!!!

Alfred Vassallo

Feb 8th, 13:15

I am more than ever convinced now that the advice from the pn gurus to their minions, especially Simon, is SIMPLY to attack their opponents without giving any thoughts to whether they (the pn) out bursts hold any water or not. And THAT actually constitutes an insult to the citizens intelligence!

Ronnie Callus

Feb 8th, 13:13

Simon your party PN always see PL projects impossible to be achieved.This is the same when Dom Mintoff projected our National Airline - 'AIR MALTA' where you called them 'Lead birds' (Ghasafar tac-comb). Instead they meant profits and an asset to our island -MALTA. Your Party brought the Airline nearly lead ones by your mismanegment. Management which your Party put in place. Those were the Cwiec.

George Cassar

Feb 8th, 13:13

Dr. Busuttil should really deliver his beef by accepting to debate with Dr. Franco Debono. He should also aim not to shoot PL's proposals but to continue glorifying his handiwork. And about Dr. Schembri's remark; will you be taking that stance in the future - of first trying to vilify someone and then as to be apologized? Just shows how your mentality is much older than you are.

Mario Aquilina

Feb 8th, 13:09

Araw ftit kif iriedu juru li huma kreddibli dawn nies? Intom gonzi Pn fallejtu f'kollox , u issa kif tridu tippruvaw tbellaw li nies li cifra imsemmija ta proposti ta Pl mhux kreddible. Zmien ta din il-klikka ghada u mhux lil deborah tridu taghmlu appologija imma ukoll lil dawk kollha li hallewkhom. Proposti tal - Pl se ikunu ghal poplu fi ftit granet ohra biex b'hekk MALTA TKUN TAGHNA LKOLL.

Bratwurst Wellin

Feb 8th, 13:09

Simon, it may be true that the PL could be taking the country for a ride and insulting the intelligence of voters, but I find it immensely offending to hear you and the head of the supposed clique preach 'Finanzi fis-Sod', with €5,000,000,000 (Five Billion Euros is Five Thousand Million) in debt. Logically with your logic, we should double it, to be twice secure?

A.Felix Busuttil

Dr. Simon Busuttil kemm kellek zmien meta Gonzi hareg thall-ewwel darba ghall-elezzjoni. And, by the way, now that probably the EU budget is going to be reduced, what is going to happen to the 'money no problem' theory and all the glitters you promised us when you were an advisor about the EU to the PN? Are we going to receive less? To contribute more? To remain static? Who is going to suffer?

Eddy Privitera

Mr Stephen Borg

Feb 8th, 12:49

Dr Simon Busutill was expected to bring a long awaited breath of fresh air into the Nationalist Party but by his daily comments he quickly dispelled that and has showed that in the end he is more of the same, I still cannot understand how he cannot stay with Austin Gatt for longer then five minutes in a room because his comments seem to hold the same arrogance as those of Gatt.

Pierre Fenech

Feb 8th, 12:48

Simon you are not realising that by continuing like this it is not the traditional labourites you are insulting but the people who decide whom to elect in government. People who think with their heads and do not want you to think for them. You are getting claps from the blinkered Blue eyed boys but out here your voice is getting fader and fader. I am sorry to say but you lost your credibility ..

James Grech

Feb 8th, 12:31

Simon was presented as a glossy & shiny alternative to an old & demotivated government. Yet in just two months everyone & sundry knows what he's made up off & what qualities he harbour. His continuous gaffes & lack of tact in his replies, offend the intelligence of the ppl. How can it be that the once glorious PN of Fenech Adami, DeMarco & others, be represented by such a low quality politician?

Dr. Busutil, stop making an issue of age. Look at all the people employed by iGaming companies. Nobody over 35 stands a decent chance of being employed in this sector.

Does that make older people with experience ineligible?
Let's talk about your mistakes. Should we ? or are they part of finding yourself or the day we live in.

Ethelbert Schembri

Feb 8th, 12:21

Simon, that comment about Dr Deborah Schembri wasn't only an insult directed to her but to all those that are running away your party. Stop showing to everyone that you learnt nothing from your EU experience by instigating and dividing people. That goes to show who really was wrapped in a glossy wrapper but now it is all gone and you are showing your true nature !!

It seems that the PN don't want to understand what is it to be careful with our taxes, as they showed us in these past years, they made debt by BILLIONS yet they are representing the same proposals yet again. Simon, that is how you are insulting our intelligence.
The PL will change this by being very carful with our taxes and not fail like the PN did in every single economic target.

M. Spiteri

Feb 8th, 12:16

It is not a matter of how old or young a politician is, but his capabilities to deliver, his integrity and honesty. Karmenu Vella has over and over again showed these qualities, unlike some of the current govs cohort and minions. What is surprising is that the newly paraded figure of Simon by the PN to instigate change is nothing more than a gimmick, as he's sowing more divisions than unity.

Donna Parnis

Feb 8th, 12:00

Whats wrong Simon, is Labour showing the NP for what it really is? Its a bit rich you saying they copied your proposals when you gave out 125 and they gave out over 800. You have become such a whiner simon all you do is moan, moan and moan some more.

Feb 8th, 11:54

Dr Busutil fails to point out that the 732m either includes or does not include the investment of 600m in the new energy. If it includes it, then LP are promising economic growth on the basis of only 132m investment over 5 years. If it does not include, then the actual cost of Labour promises is 1.3 bn. Again it does not make sense because it would mean a wider deficit than what PN offer

Therese Palmer

Feb 8th, 11:50

Of course they cost less Dr.Busuttil.. yours include extra paying outs to the selected few!!! you insult people's intellingence!

Mr Andrew Camilleri

What's wrong with Karmenu Vella? He has so much more experience than SB in government; he was a successul tourisim minister. Typical GonziPN scaremongering, bla sugu.
