There is so much to write about these days: I will keep to the essentials.

Joseph Muscat says that a pension increase is in the pipeline. I hope the pipe will not get blocked.

Alfred Pisani, of the Corinthia Group, defends the planned project at St George’s Bay. This is a true howler. What does one expect, having seen Pisani nearly licking Muscat’s boots in a photograph on Facebook? Does the plans need defending? We have the planning thing approving the db Group scandal, so why should the Corinthia thing be treated differently?

Another point close to my selfish desires. Some time ago, we were told a scheme would be launched relating to the collection of plastic bottles and we were informed there would be payment for these bottles. As I need some money to feed my company in Panama, can I be told when this scheme will start because I need the cash badly? My Panama company cannot remain unfed much longer.

Happy New Year to all.
