The massacre in Norway is the result of Nazi scum, and not of any immigration.

“However, let’s not forget the massacre in Norway which is the result of the unchecked influx of immigrants from Muslim countries who refuse to integrate and prefer to live in the Middle Ages”

This statement from Paul Bonnici is shocking and disgusting. The massacre was NOT the result of the influx of immigrants. It was the result of the action of a criminal. Full stop.

No amount of compromising with one’s conscience can ever justify the murder of another person, let alone of so many young lives.

My middle finger goes out to those pea brains who wrote such sick comments.

Most Eritreans and Ethiopians I know would have done what Hailie did.

We are very far from the developed sense of community and sharing that they have. It’s in their social culture, but not in ours in Malta, where ‘the family’ is all. But of course, who cares! They take our jobs (which jobs?).

However when cruelty comes from the mouths or keyboards of intelligent people I find it despicable beyond words.

I don’t know Wayne Hewitt but the little I’ve seen of him makes me despise his self assured Rolex-flashing self. He fits into the second category – people whose cruel comments do not arise out of ignorance.

If there is one thing I admire about Lawrence Gonzi it is the way he has handled the refugee crisis and his assurance that he will never willingly allow anybody to die a cruel death at sea. Dr. Gonzi, people who have both a mind and a heart are behind you on this and certainly not behind Dr. Muscat.

How someone can spew so much venom and have such hatred for another human being is beyond me. It utterly disgusts me. If one happens to scroll down on that same page/fb wall there’s more venom posted by the same person.

Oh and Tonio Borg also addressed the audience.

A sad jerk he may very well be, but that Edric Micallef Figallo was the founder of the ridiculously-named “Gioventu Democratica Nazionalista” (yes, in Italian), given the seal of approval by none other than President Emeritus Guido de Marco.

Now either de Marco was incredibly naive, or he actually supports Micallef Figallo’s brand of “crackpot” Casino Maltese nostalgia.

See this, and weep. Or scream.

One of Lou’s best shows ever.
