PBO hit the local headlines a little under a year ago for making allegations about a crisis around the appointment of an adviser to the Labour leader.

It appears that he can't perhaps even afford his own holiday, so has accepted an invite to go aboard, and abroad possibly, with Zaren Vassallo, the man with the magic Midas touch who coincidentally wins so many government tenders under Gonzi PN. It is also surely a crisis of judgement to have made the same gaffe Joe Saliba made years ago.

These are the kind of gaffes you might make if you are very arrogant, or have no sensitivity, or believe you have a moral right to govern for ever.Or a combination of all three even.

He is apparently as blind as his party to this crisis in judgement.

It's hardly conduct becoming for such a high ranking PN figure is it,a representative of the Party that runs this government no less?
