@Vanni

Where did you drive along? Exactly the same words are written on a wall next to my house in Munich.

Was driving along this morning and saw this sticker on the car in front of me. Thought I’d share it with you:

KEIN MENSCH IST ILLEGAL!
Wir sind alle Ausländer – fast überall!
Faschos sind alle Arschlöcher – Überall!

Translation:
NO PERSON IS AN ILLEGAL!
We are all Foreigners – nearly everywhere!
Fascists are all Ar#h#les – Everywhere!

Of prayers and some,

Excellent. The ensuing is not to profane.

Let’s continue:

Harold’s kingdom come,
As it is in Harold’s land,
Give us this day Harold’s daily blessing,
As it is in Harold’s land.

No profanation, no disrespect to religious beliefs…but

Our Father, Who art in cuckoo land,
Harold be Thy Name.

Daphne, If many of us maltese, and I am happy to be one of them ta’ mentalita bazwija ,are to be replaced by hardworking/well-educated illegal immigrants as stated by you than you should fetch your citizen somewhere else. Take as an example a case of the smaller form the society,a typical maltese family. If a member of this family is not hardworking or ill-educated no one dreams of replacing this member with another one who is hardworking or well educated.

[Daphne – I love the way you people think in terms of parables and metaphors, comparing the family with the state and your house with state territory. I’ve noticed that a lot of people seem to have trouble grasping abstract concepts, but shouldn’t we have moved on from the days of Dom Mintoff and his hectoring from the backs of lorries? You can’t compare the family to the state, or your house to the state’s territory. They are two different constructs entirely.]

I though Harold was joking or quoting someone else. How many Harolds do we have in Malta? I’m beginning to think only about 5% of us are not anti immigrants, anti-Jews and anti commonsense, logic and normality.

[Daphne – No, he’s a real, live follower of Enoch Powell, except that he probably doesn’t know who he was.]

In my case (mostly girls in their early 20s) I might need an alphabet chart and an abacus too.

[Daphne – Quite frankly, if somebody could be found to ship out all the useless, ill-educated, mentalita bazwija Maltese and replace them with hard-working immigrants, this island would be in clover – and I would be happier. The average Maltese thinks out of the seat of his pants. Malta doesn’t survive because of ‘the skills of its workforce.’ It survives despite its workforce.]

Joseph Muscat when he was an MEP did vote in favour of giving the vote to immigrants. Wonder if the average Maltese was thinking from the back of his pants a year ago during general election time.

“Malta doesn’t survive because of ‘the skills of its workforce.’ It survives despite its workforce”

I really like this quote. Can I print it and stick it on my notice board?

[Daphne – Go ahead. And while you’re at it, tack up a dictionary so that they can use it.]
