Just to be objective, at times, political passion blinds. We need to reflect. This does not mean we have to change our political convictions - en passant Churchill did slip at times as well; he called Mahatma Gandhi “a mad demagogue dressed in shreds”.]]></description>

That is your opinion David. Respect mine.It has nothing to do with race but socio-economic, is it the right time.
Security wise. The Maltese Froga Way

pffff...
The anti-democratic attitude is growing. People can&#039;t have opinions without being investigated, watched, harassed, probably hacked into and phone tapped (who knows really). The civil liberties, unconstitutional methods, privacy, anonimity they are all being sacrificed. Call me whatever you like then. My opinion will always be based on what I research. Have we come to a time where talking amongst 4 people and saying something the state doesn&#039;t like you will risk prison. On the net we do the same thing we communicate, sometimes loosing ourselves into disattached personal opinion and feelings. Are we to crush that civil liberty to have an opinion about a politician, a policy, a law, a magistrate, a reporter, another person irrispective of who who is and let the state tap in our phones, our forum conversations, our youtube opinion, our &#039;tseksika&#039; round the corner. To me it sounds like big brother taking over.]]></description>

It was insults. Information? Hah! really rich coming from people who immediately prance on people calling them racists, trolls, pathetic losers and an ignorant excuse for a human being just because they can never understand their anti-immigrant sentiment. Don&#039;t you feel like hypocrites? Corinne I don&#039;t care any orchestrated information, I&#039;m not hysterical, but I&#039;m aware that it might seem hysteric to you. What&#039;s next do I need therapy simply because I wish that my countrymen/women remain Maltese and not a hodge podge of afro-maltese. I don&#039;t mind Europeans and I will tell you why, it has nothing to do with race. I voted for Eu so I was well aware of Europeans coming to Malta. I love Europe. But I nevr voted for an African Union and this is what you will all get. I hope you&#039;re proud of yourselfs, you sacrificed this country (sold), our soldiers(war), and now you&#039;re sacrificing the last thing you had, our people(promoting immigration from africa now). You couldn&#039;t be more treacherous and deceitful.]]></description>
