Europarl
My “game” here is not paid by taxes. And the company I work for would take a very dim view of paying for any gaming.

And what would you know where ‘there’ is anyway? One should not jump to conclusions. ;)

BTW, I resent your fake know it all attitude, “you wouldn’t understand” is not only elitist, it reeks of pseudo intellectuality.

It’s a very different story, Amanda, take my word for it. It’s not the inability to learn Maltese that’s the problem, but the demotion of Maltese to 3rd or 4th Language (optional).

That means that officially, the Maltese students’ mother tongue is English (just like the Irish) and their second language is German or French.

The 2nd language is the one used for 3 important subjects in the third year. It’s not easy to sit for history exams in French when your actual second language is English and the school hasn’t taught you much French anyway…

This is highly discriminatory.

So don’t spew out comments when you don’t know the details.

Europarl – While fighting the system, please ask Sharon not to kick up a fuss about the kids not being able to learn Maltese at school. We Maltese should be thankful that many of our European counterparts can’t fully understand the ignorance that is spewed out on the Labour media …

Vanni, you wouldn’t understand. I’m fighting the system. Just keep focused on your game there, it’s more important than what I do.

From what I can gather from my hole in Brussels:

Word in the Labour camp is that PN won.

@ Europarl

So you will not resign your position? Why not?
Or are you waiting for some konvinzjoni morali to hit you first?

Your embarrassment is my embarrassment, Amanda. You all sound like petty squabblers to me, you, Dos Santos, Il-Gonz and all the lajinz and cikinnz and tajgerz and majs…

[Moderator – Fine, we’re all squabblers. Now please kiss and make up.]

Europarl – Don’t embarrass the Maltese further, please.
