Silvio, what you mean is that you don’t like Africans.

I thought Jason was one of those Parl. Sec. that had enough guts to put words into action….sad, but no.

U biex anke huma taparsi jemmnu (anke l-LP) li l-EU hija ekwivalenti ghal success fil-hajja anke s-slogan taghhom jghid ‘direzzjoni sucess -Malta fl-Unjoni Ewropeja’

Ghaziz Pierre,

Ser niktibha bil-Malti halli anke dawk l-imsieken laburisti li ma jafux jaqraw bl-Ingliz jifhmuni.

Qabel ma dhalna fl-EU il-laburisti kienu jahsbu li ahjar partnership. Wara li ghall-grazzja t’Alla dhalna, bdew jghidu li issa ahjar. Mela qabel kienu jahsbu kif riedhom jahsbu Sant, u wara bdew jahsbu kif riedhom Muscat.

DAWN IN-NIES L-ANQAS JAHSBU B’MOHHHOM MA JAFU, AHSEB U ARA KEMM JIRNEXXU (SUCCESS) FIL-HAJJA.

Ghal bniedem (insomma il-kelma ggib hekk) laburist jew dawk li kienu jigu jaqghu u jqumu jekk nidhlux fl-EU jew le zgur ma jqabblux l-EU mas-success, ghax m’hiex fid-DNA taghhom!!!!

FHIMT ISSA?

No problem

I wrote, how come you are voting for Vince when he was (like LP) anti EU before the referendum. Just read what he wrote:

Joholmu
Ghax hi holma, holma kbira nobis, dik li xi hadd qed jghid li l-Unjoni Ewropea ser tifthilna l-opportunitajiet ghal investiment u x-xoghol. Meta? Ghada? Is-sena d-diehla? Lil min? Lit-tarzna? Lill-bdiewa? Lil manifattura? Lill-kummercjanti? Lil-lukandi? Lil min? Fejnhom il-fatti? Fejnhom il-figuri? Jekk il-gvern jibqa jimla ras in-nies bil-holm nibqghu nezlin. Ninzlu dejjem iktar l-isfel, fin-nizla tar-rovina. Ghax mhux vera li l-ekonomija qed tissahhah. Mhux vera li nvestituri u mprendituri Maltin ghandhom opportunitajiet ahjar li ser isibuhom ghada. Mhux vera li l-finanzi tal-gvern qed jitrangaw. Mhux vera li qed jinstabu opportunitajiet godda ta’ xoghol produttiv. Mhux vera qed jizdiedu l-proffitti, li huma l-akbar garanzija ghal aktar investiment fil-futur.

No way will I vote for this man. Qed jaghmel ezatt bhal tal-lejber! No madam.

[Daphne – When it came to the crunch he voted Yes and then PN in 2003 and that’s enough for me to give him a 10.]

For your eyes only Daphne……why did you not publish my second bit about Vince? I’m wondering…….

[Daphne – I deleted it along with another one. That sometimes happens when I’m in a rush (I pressed the wrong button….). You can send it in again.]

[Daphne – Because I work with Standard Publications, not with Allied Newspapers….]

Like it or not that particular English language newspaper’s readership is too wide and influential to ignore. No disrespect meant to The Independent of-course, and they should really thank you on a Thursday and Sunday.

Mind you, one particular ”editor” does get up my nose, but then she’s so silly, she’s actually entertaining in a warped sort of way.

I think the problem with this argument is that success is very relative. The shop owner down the road may consider himself to be successful, and rightly so. He/she may still have been successful with or without membership, although this too is debatable. I, on the other hand, have different ambitions and my achievements over the past few years have resulted from Malta’s accession into the EU. So Pierre I beg to differ with your statement that ‘there is no relation between success and EU membership’. I was lucky enough to be in my early twenties when Malta joined the EU and, therefore, was able to choose a path many others were deprived of. Your reasoning is unfortunately very limited and in fact counter-productive. The success of some people may not depend on membership, but the success of others does. What’s more worrying is that many are aware of this and yet continue to vote selfishly and ignorantly purely because they can’t see beyond partisan politics. So basically, yes, all those who voted against EU membership, or for the Labour party in the election that followed, could have potentially ruined my future and that of many others like myself.
