Muscat's plagiarised whinge of "Oligarchy" was given the lie by his warm-up act yesterday.
Dr Robert Abela, who is not contesting the elections within Muscat's ranks, is the son of H.E. The President and a practising lawyer, whose firm holds the account of MEPA, reputed to be a lucrative one. I point these facts out not in denigration of Dr Abela but merely as a single, but one of many, instance of many where people of Muscat's political persuasion find themselves in positions about which they certainly shouldn't grumble.
They certainly shouldn't grumble about cliques and circles of friends, because they do so, in effect, while looking at the mirror.
Another instance I could mention is that of the just-recently ubiquitous Dr Konrad Mizzi. This learned young chap, who proves his erudition by slipping high-sounding gobbets of jargon in English into his spiel, generally when he is citing volumes of what he fondly believes are facts in support of his arguments.
Or when he is calling people "rude" in the manner of that particularly obnoxious young female in Richmal Compton's "William" series.
Mizzi, I'm told, has held high management positions in, amongst others, Enemalta and Malta...
