“How can Mr. Muscat build a Maltese case against immigration with Mr. Red Ed without sounding stupid?”

Isn’t it quite normal for Joseph Muscat to sound stupid?

There is also Greece with a left wing government. This is the problem with PL you can’t even trust them with some basic info. How can Malta help Malta with immigration??

This is David Miliband.

Joseph: Ed, about this immigration thing… Why was it that you opened your borders and allowed ‘illegals’ for so many years when we all know what control freaks you Brits are?

Ed: The people, Joseph. From the 60s through the 90s and beyond, the people rallied for open borders, multiculturalism, diversity – a Fabian society where all values come from the state… We social democrats listen to the people.

Joseph (confused): The people rallied for open borders?

Ed: Sure! Where else could our marching orders come from?

Under the 1997-2010 Labour governments of B&B (Blair and Brown), immigration exploded in the UK, to the point that it became a hot issue in the last general elections. And when she complained about it with the British Labour leader, Ms. Gillian Duffy was called a bigoted woman by the same leader who was also her Prime Minister.

Of course, unlike with the Brown-Duffy episode, we will never know what Mr. Red Ed said after he met Mr. Muscat.

[Daphne – The Labour leader is called Ed, not David. David is his brother, who lost the leadership battle to Ed.]

Zapatero’s government has an anti-immigration policy and is paying jobless immigrants so that they leave Spain. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2008/0807/p04s01-woeu.html

Oh, I forgot Miliband and Zapatero are right wing.

[Daphne – I repeat that David Miliband is not the Labour leader. Managing immigration is not the same thing as being anti-immigrants. Learn the difference.]

Talk of the PN going bananas policy-wise, the LP always ignores the true values of the European left and gets away with it.

Speaking on One Radio this morning in a telephone link from London.

Does it not sound terribly late 80s or early 90s? You have telephone links from news reporters in the middle of Afghanistan or Zimbabwe not London.
