They are not worthy of the paper they are written on and, if anything, they prove exactly the opposite – that tiny Malta with hardly any natural resources to speak of is holding its own within the EU and the rest of the world.

Huge financial institutions with massive assets that could have bought these islands lock, stock and barrel twenty times over have gone bust and many others survived by the skin of their teeth and a dose of quantitative easing. And yet our banking sector has no shortage of reserves and “registered profits five times higher than the 2005-7 period”.

So according to the Labour Party, families in Malta are feeling poor, the streets are deserted and nobody took any holidays this summer. Apart from the Muscats, of course.

I don’t see Maltese families doing cartwheels and living it up, that’s true, but compared with the growing unemployment in the rest of Europe it looks as though we have not done badly at all.
