To all the English-speaking-only people on this blog, I’m sorry but this had to be written in Maltese to have the desired effect, and believe us, “you don’t wanna know”.

Maybe the supermarkets will have certain products with a little sticker saying “Imported by your friendly government”.

Speaking in a radio interview conducted by Times journalist Matthew Xuereb, Dr Gonzi noted that inflation stood at 2.8 percent in Malta compared to 0.5 percent in the EU. However, between May and June inflation here had dropped by 0.6 percent he said, and it was expected to continue to drop in the coming months. Dr Gonzi said the government was working in line with its electoral promise to strengthen the institutions which monitored prices, and an organisation would be focused exclusively on alerting the government over irregular price movements. The Prime Minister said there would not be a return to price fixing and price orders except in particular exceptional circumstances as in the case of medicines, where the government might even import some products itself.

2. Your article, Daphne: “I especially loved proposta numru tlieta, which tells us that the government should import products and services huwa stess and then sell these b’mod differenti. Are these people for real? So a Labour government is going to be one that goes into the importation business (been there, done that, never want to relive the experience), distorting the market and competing with the private sector, while distracting itself from what it really should be doing, which is looking after matters of government.”

I discovered that they’re actually “ladies’ Y-fronts”.

That’s why have a Monti, Joseph. We can buy our commie rubbish there, when we CHOOSE to.
