Witty, pungent yet, oh-so true! I’m incredulous at the fact that some people are willing to vote for Sant! I was 8 when he was elected, yet I remember what gloomy days they were. I remember my mother sitting at the kitchen table, crying over the tragedy that ha befallen us, my father coming home some 6 months later telling us the company he worked for had gone bankrupt but also the breath of fresh air Sant’s fall from grace was! Do people forget all these things; or do they just like to self-inflict pain? Sant came up with the most ridiculous things ever; I mean honestly, a FRONT DOOR tax? What’s next? Having to pay to walk on pavements or to breathe air? Now PN is once again elected, I can come here and say these things without fear and with ‘NO REGRETS’ but had MLP secured the throne, I would have probably been packing my life in a suitcase and emigrating to somewhere very, very far.

P.S. My friend who lives abroad thinks you’re “fab”!

Daphne,

I posted your url in elezjoni2008.com forum at 12.54pm today as shown below. Is it a coincidence that your site server was hacked at 13.15pm? I think not. This so called independent forum is loaded with mlp followers. I guess it is as independent as l-orrizont newspaper say they are. If we boo they insult us hamalli and kannoli bla krema, etc,, if we write they try to shut us down. Nice Mlp. Sometimes i get this feeling that we are not an eu country and that i’m not living in 2008

Carmel Scicluna ghamel osservazzjoni li l-intellettwali ma’ dehru imkien.Nahseb li intellettwali hawn, imma hafna minnhom jibzghu jghidu li “ir-re Gharwien”.Ma’ certu tip ta’ nies tiskanta kemm ma’ trid xejn biex issoddilhom hallqhom , bizzejjed twieghedhom wiehed wiehed li ghandhom chairmanship lest ghalihom mat-tali Awtorita jew mas-Central Bank jew posizzjoni fl-Universita , jekk nitilghu ahna. Filli tarahom ‘newtrali’ u filli tisma b’xi zball li qed jaghmel il-gvern zgur li m’humiex xi Vaclav Havel .Allura ried ikun tifel (jew ahjar IT-TFAL TAGHNA) biex jghidu lir-RE li kien gharwien, u r-re ha ghalih.L-unici “intellettwali li huma bla hajta fi lsienhom, huma qassisin li jghidu li jridu jghidu minghajr hafna dawrien mal-lewza Peter Seracino Inglott , Rene’ Camilleri , Joe Borg u Mark Montebello. Ma tantx ghandhom irbit.Ma tonqosx l-artikolista (kulltant bla brejkijiet) DCG.
Ta’ l-ahhar, in-naqra laham griza go rasna iccaqlaqulna sew u tnehhielna hafna inibizzjonijiet li gieli kellna.Mhux dejjem naqbel ma’ li tghid imma iggaghalni nahseb.Ghax nghid jien x’inhu xoghol l-intellettwali? Inutli li l-intellettwali ikollu hsibijiet sbieh u jhallihom ghal meta jaqbillu biex jghidhom.”Xemx li ma’ ssahhanx ahjar il-bard ta’ Jannar minnha”. Erba’ qassisin , mara irqieqa , u kocc studenti din id-darba ghamlu hafna xoghol li is-sppost intellettwali kellhom jaghmlu.
Minn part time lecturer fl-universita li kien jikteb nhar ta’ sibt kull ma’ qrajt kienu vavati li jghidu f’kazin politiku .L-ahhar wahda kienet twissija lil Sant biex joqghod attent ghal xi TERRINATA nahseb li Fredu fehmu bil-kontra ghax ghamel wahda lil JPO.Dalwaqt narawh head tal -fakulta. Jew?
Kellu jigi wiehed barrani tal Greens biex jghid lil MLP li s-surcharge bin -nofs huwa hazin?
Fejn kienu it-taparsi ekonomisti li dalwaqt narawhom jghidulna min se jirbah l-elezzjoni?
Ma trid xejn biex narawh Gvernatur!

Great work Daphne!

So MLP are watching this blog … know then that what convinced me to vote PN were hours of listening to your dumb, rude and aggressive members e.g. Manuel Cuschieri, Debono Grech, Micheal Falzon. You spread nothing but Hate for “the others” like we’re not all maltese and in the same boat!

And for Micheal Falzon I’m a christian too but I would be ashamed to be a christian and incite a crowd like you do; Filling them with anxiety, worry and hopelessness with your lies. You should try to convince with proposals, plans & vision!

AN have prepared for this election more than MLP!!! You disrespect the maltese people by thinking we are fools who can’t see through you’re empty “pjan”.

Obviously you will sweep this comment aside and classify me under “the others” and refuse to change! I wish Labour lose so that maybe by some miracle you will realise that this country needs to have a strong opposition with new ideas, a clear vision & with positivity so we will finally have a healthy choice!

I love the last line: We will continue to mock Chicken Sant as long as he leads the Labour Party, and if he becomes prime minister tomorrow, you can rest assured that we will have even more to say.

Great Work Daphne!!!

I got a scare this morning. I thought that we started to get a taste of what Labour means. No wonder that Sant spoke of Belarus last Thursday. Sant and his firend Mario Vella are stuck in the Leftist pseudo intellectual mentality of the 70s. The era where people used to listen to the pseudo intellectuals, who never worked in their lives, never did anything tangible, never worked for the private sector etc., is long gone.

Today we are in 2008, where people need to work and get real with their lives.

Daph, innutajt kemm spikka s-silenzju ta’ l-intellettwali tul din il-kampanja elettorali? Ghalfejn ma jitkellmux f’mumenti kurcjali bhal dawn ghall-pajjizna? Ghadhom jezistu, kollox ma’ kollox, dawn l-ispeci ta’ nies hekk imsejha intellettwlai f’din l-era post post-moderna?
Int gurnalista, wahda mill-ahjar f’pajjizna. Ma tibzax mil-Lejber, tikxfilhom kull maskra li jilbsu u tibqa’ tikteb fuqhom, b’dahka zeblieha, kif jixirqilhom. Imn’alla kont int f’dawn iz-zminijiet biex tikkumenta u tikkritika ghax hafna mill-gurnalisti l-ohra bla bajd, bla sinsla. U jisghobbini nghid hemm minnhom, l-aktar in-nisa, jghiru ghalik ghax ghandek profil gholi u kapaci aktar minnhom.
Imbierek, bil-haqq, il-mument li ddecidejtu li taghmlu dan il-kummentarju elettroniku.
U xihaga ohra: Corinne Vella u Amanda Mallia jigu hutek? Minn kif jiktbu naqtaghhom nisa ta’ veru … bhalek! Narak, Daph. Imtela bil-kuragg! U jien fiducjuz, qalbi mimlija li l-PN se nergghu naraw hawn fuq! Il-bidu gdid sehh meta dhalna fl-Unjoni Ewropea. Il-bidu gdid se jsehh fil-Lejber la jtiru min-nofs il-Patrijarka tal-Vizjoni Moderna, l-Iljun tal-Bidla Li l-Poplu Ma Jridx, tad-DNA Tajjeb u Boob-Job Jason. Nissoponi se jkollhom jikkunsidraw anki jibdlux l-isem tal-partit la tithabbar ufficjalment it-telfa li se tkun tfissrilhom kwazi 25 sena fl-Oppozizzjoni! Issa jgibuhom l-20,000 li webblu l-boloh li ghandhom li se jgibu! Just wait and see!
