The White Rocks project is yet another symbol of why governments must change, why power needs to alternate and how leaders can even start to believe their own spin?

We have just heard months of explanation from Joseph Muscat and Evarist Bartolo primarily, on how we are not getting the cleanest possible power station at the best possible price, which our children and our children's children can rely on in years to come. This government has chosen to use a twentieth century form of fuel via a company that has contacts with others who are blacklisted and more.

Still the government paid for full page ads ignoring all these worrying facts and saying the opposite. Ads we had to pay for even if we didn't believe them.

Now under the guise of needing more sports facilities, at a time when it is hot, very hot, and we are watching the World Cup with ac's blaring comes the White Rocks project.

Anyone who questions it is anti Malta and even anti sports according to P.M. Gonzi and some of the bloggers.

Lino Spiteri in The Times today though was having none of it and summarised the whole way government has operated so far on The White Rocks project thus.

"Does the government recognise that it is bound by its own and E.U. rules as much as any common citizen?.....That is not the way a government answerable to the people should operate."

It seems this governement refuses to stop its heavy fuel oil style of delivery, hoping that with an election years away and with so much of the media machine in its hands that all will be forgotten.

Is this a case of making hay while the heavy fuel oil shines? The people surely deserve more humility, accountability and management of our few but precious resources, not least our land.
