In Monday’s programme on One, Joe Grima referred to my Talking Point regarding Air Malta (February 17).

He first said “they” had phoned me to participate in his programme. This is totally incorrect. There were two phone calls to my office from a Crista Caruana who said she was from One Productions and just asked to talk to me. No mention of participation in any programme was ever made. The calls were taken by the office secretary who stated that I was engaged all day in meetings, a correct fact which Mr Grima saw fit to remark sarcastically on. However, for the record, had I been asked to take part in his “show” my answer would have been a categoric “no thank you”.

Next Mr Grima stated that I had blamed former minister Wistin Abela for all the ills of Air Malta. Another totally incorrect statement. Then he proceeded to say that one certainly could not say I was a Labourite. Well he is free to say whatever he likes. I am, and have always been, just myself, with my own personal, as opposed to biased or convenient opinions.
