Joseph Muscat says that social mobility is a priority for Labour
Yippee! Joseph and Il-Guy are going to make up upwardly mobile, ghax GonziPN m’ghamel xejn and we’re still sleeping on stable floors and earning the minimum wage.
Ah, I see. So that’s why he campaigned to keep Malta out of Europe, then: because without EU membership, the Maltese would have been more socially mobile, by which I take it he means UPWARDLY mobile.
What a false prat, honestly.
His own and his wife’s socially upward mobility has taken place entirely on the back of Labour’s failure and of EU membership. Kieku hu ghadu skrivan ma’ Alfred Mifsud u hi PA ta’ Sant u part-time PR girl ma’ agenzija tar-reklamar, minflok Mr and Mrs Prattikament Prim Ministru.
These people are so unbelievable. There has been massive upward mobility in the last couple of decades, but most particularly the last 10 years, and it’s all thanks to the Nationalist Party’s policies which were constantly contradicted, undermined and naysayed by Labour, with Joseph Muscat himself as a Super One frontman leading the protests against.
The Malta Independent reports today:
Social mobility is the main aim of Labour’s movement, according to party leader Joseph Muscat
Speaking at a political activity in Tarxien yesterday, Dr Muscat said that this aim involved wanting one’s children to be able to be more successful than oneself.
A Labour government, he explained, would strive to give everyone an opportunity to succeed by ensuring that there were no obstacles to doing so, while those who fell behind would be helped by the state to progress.
He said that social mobility was key to battling poverty, and that Labour aimed to ensure that Malta’s middle class would continue to be strengthened.
I have had it up to here with Joseph Muscat and his party of freaks trying to create fake reality. Can people in Malta have more opportunities than they do already? Can people be more upwardly mobile than they are now?
Are they waiting for Labour in 2013 to make the transition from nannu selling goods off a cart, nanna selling kappar out of a bucket, mummy sleeping five to a bed with her siblings, daddy sleeping on the stable floor, to son working in IT and daughter high-flying in the tourism industry?
It has happened already.
And who’s going to lead Joseph’s Crack Team of Mittilkless Creators? Karmenu Vella, who made damned sure that nobody except a couple of Lady Jo/Tunny Net smugglers were upwardly mobile.
The notion that Karmenu Vella, who did so much to wreck my generation’s chances when he was minister in the worst of it, 1980 to 1987, will now be helping us to become upwardly mobile with his Megik Elektril Progrem is so deeply insulting that I am at a loss where to begin.

Social mobility can also be in the downward direction rather then up – it is still mobility. And I believe that this is what shall happen under Joseph Muscat and his merry men.
Someone direct me to the emergency exit.
The more I read about the nonsense spewing out of ‘motor mouth’ Joseph, the more convinced I am that Malta does need a Labour government in 2013.
That ought to teach the ‘abstainers’ and the ‘disgruntled Nationalists’ another nasty lesson.
The problem with that, of course, is that such punishment would cut across the board including for those who have enough grey matter to figure things out much ahead of voting day.
Nail on head
Social mobility under a Labour government is like a game of snakes and ladders. Without the ladders.
But plenty pf snakes.
And loaded dice.
About 35 years ago I had a traffic accident (3 months after the start of the marathon strike by the doctors at St. Luke’s hospital).
I was sent, by the insurance of the other person’s company, to an orthopaedic hospital in the UK.
One day the head of the hospital consultants came into my room and told me that when I return to Malta I should tell Mintoff that the British medical establishment is very happy because they have inherited, free of charge to the British taxpayers, the best doctors on the market.
Now, is this the type of mobility that Muscat has in mind?
sowxjal mobility i take it.
Gonzi PN practically wrote the manual about it, falling short only in compulsory classes about manners.
Perhaps we should have started with those first and foremost. What we have now is a bunch of ‘professionals’ without basic manners or any notion of etiquette or appropriate behaviour.
You can have the money but that’s as far as it gets with some. And you know what, they feel happy and I am happy to let them live their own life. ‘Kuntent int, kuntent kulhadd’.
What cheek.

We could all go to Valletta to St. George’s Square for our water: reduction of individual utilitity espenses is achieved (which of 51 promises was this?), while of course the “collective pays principle” is enforced.
