GALLIZZA !!!!….. SOUNDS LIKE AN EMPTY VESSELS

Prof. Scicluna JUDGEMENTS ARE CORRECT irrespective of how DEAF KNEE looks at them. Some reactions to his writings made reference to the Malta Labour Party era. All the writings about the previous Labour Governments should be looked at with a professional and realistic eye. When the Labour Party was elected to Govern Malta in 1971 the Maltese Nation was drowning in poverty and the so-called Independence of Malta was a mere illusion. At that time the Independence of Malta was synonymous with a tale scribbled on a tissue paper and celebrated yearly just as some people celebrate Halloween year in, year out.
In the year 1987 things were exceedingly different. The Labour Party Government gave MALTA the shape of a REAL COUNTRY. The Maltese ran their own BANKS; their own AIRPORT; their own CIVIL AIRCRAFTS, their own SHIPS; their own UNIVERSITY; their own PORTS, their own FOREIGN POLICY; their own FREE-HEALTH SCHEMES AND VARIOUS OTHER FREE SOCIAL SCHEMES.
During the 1960’s our prosperity rested in GOD’S HANDS. When ever crisis struck Malta, we used to be told to pray to God and keep in mind the fact THAT EVEN A WORM TRAPPED INSIDE A ROCK SURVIVES.

Don’t keep on harping on it Mario, or Daphne will change her mind once again. Oqghod kwiet.

I was not around in the 1980s so I don’t give a hoot but I can tell you it’s not easy being young today either. I was always in favour of the EU but this does not mean that we are living in a rosy world. Opportunities exist today but they are somewhat limited. Living in a small state means that you have to maintain main stream professions like becoming an accountant, doctor, architect etc…..Once you specialise or venture into a different path then jobs become difficult and you will have to adapt into something you never wanted or dreamed of. Living in a small state isn’t always a dream. Our political landscape of two states in one nation (as is clearly visible from this website) makes matters even worse. Maybe we ought to change our political system forever and adopt something similar to what goes on in the Channel Islands. In this micro English island political parties exist but once elected in parliament everyone has the right to act independently. Since all MP have the right to think without the constraints and shackles of political parties, laws are reached through consensus. No matter they are one of the richest islands in the world! They make things happen for the best of all citizens. Here we fight every inch to gain what?

What you’re missing is what most of the self-styled poor are missing. Most of the truly poor living here don’t have a vote and are corralled in camps. They’re not carping and whingeing on timesofmalta.com because they’re too busy trying to scrape together some sort of living.

Wow! Thanks for those clips, Daph! You have reminded me of times that my brain (for some reason…) has selectively chosen to forget.

And to maybe set your mind at rest, some (but not all) of the characters shown in those vids have turned out to be decent men and women in their 40s (minkejja dak l-ismoke kollhu…)

It’s the latest “Mrs Bucket” thing – one up from the property in Gozo

He deserves better than snide remarks about wigs.
