Labour: can't run a website but wants to run the country
I don’t think the Labour Party has fully understood that in 18 months it will be running the country. It continues to speak and behave as though it is the natural party of Opposition while gONzIpN is the natural party of government.
It is so well settled on the Opposition benches that it just can’t think ‘government’.
Why else would it run a story like this on its news website, Maltastar, if not because it’s still thinking that the Nationalists will be running the show in three years’ time?
If they understand they will be the ones in government when this happens, and still ran the story as is, then whoever is responsible should be lined up against a wall and shot (with rubber bullets). But if they can’t get hold of a midget firing squad, they’ll have to tell the ordinary-sized ones to angle their guns at 30 degrees.
MALTASTAR’S TOP STORY TODAY
80% OF BUSINESSES SEE BLEAK FUTURE
As much as 80% of the businesses in Malta believe that in three years’ time the economic climate will be the major growth limitation for their businesses. This came out through a survey conducted by the National Office of Statistics among business enterprises.
The economic climate, decrease in profits and weak consumer demands are the three factors which businesses see as limiting their growth in the next three years. Eight out of every ten business view the economic climate as the greatest threat.

I do not know if you have noticed, but maltastar have long ago abandoned the Jokes section.
It must be the sad admission that the whole website is just that.
“in three years’ time the economic climate will be the major growth limitation for their businesses.”
“The economic climate, decrease in profits and weak consumer demands are the three factors which businesses see as limiting their growth in the next three years. Eight out of every ten business view the economic climate as the greatest threat. ”
It’s a pity that Nakita’s blog has been dumped by The Times. We might have seen a plagiarised article about “Labour’s 20 measures to combat the toxic cocktail of Climate Change.”
Haven’t got anything better to do this evening, I came across some nostalgic videos and images from 2008. See Cyrus Engerer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnXPECTNgUk at 5.17-5.34 and 6.21
Hi you ” do gooders” do you want us to end up like Britain with immigrants ?
Enoch Powell in the 70’s warned Britain of future’rivers of blood” The do gooders called him racist !
There are people in Malta who want us to end the same way. We learn from other countries ..and why not…
Maybe Britain was a bad colonialist to these kids ‘parents but we who did we exploit ?
X’ghandu x’jaqsam?
When was the last time anyone who is not Maltese went on a rampage here, smashing shop windows and wrecking everything they could lay their hands on?
Well said, Not Sandy :P.
I can recall at least three instances when such instances happened here, and involved MALTESE people:
1) Valletta in the 1970s, when a group of rioters wrecked windows and more on their way to The Times’ building, led by a notorious Labour thug
2) Valletta in September 1984, when the lawcourts (and, later, the Curia) were smashed by Labour thugs, with our then prime minister, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, atop a truck accompanying the “heavies”
3) Sliema, around 1996, when some Labour thugs let loose at the Ferries, smashing a couple of shops.
What did they have in common? Oh yes, they all did it in the name of Labour, even if they were not officially sanctioned by the Labour Party – though what does one call a prime minister accompanying them on their rampage?
Go back to VivaMalta.
Mortx il-quddies ukoll illum? Razzist.
Ah, so thought provoking.
These idiots say Labour will be running the country in two years’ time, however, one year later, we’ll be in the dumper? These incompetents.will never remove their heads from their a**holes.
Trust me, if the Maltese electorate votes these scary people into power, they’d better get a gigantic dumper. Something like ‘Soylent Green’?
The economic climate, decrease in profits and weak consumer demands are the three factors which businesses see as limiting their growth in the next three years. Eight out of every ten business view the economic climate as the greatest threat.
Very obvious: they anticipate a Labour government.

People in business look ahead because they invest their own money to reap returns in the future.
The results of this survey show that the negative impact of a change in government has already been factored in by Maltese entrepreneurs.
At least they are in a position to limit their exposure.
We, ordinary citizens, can only grin and bear it.
Ang, Joey and Wenzu will deliver us from evil.
Where to? I dread to think!
Apart from grinning and bearing, all should put in an effort to try and persuade those whose pavement has not yet received council treatment and those who do not bother to go out to the polling station what a pitiful state Malta will be in with PL in power especially with the incompetent leader they have and the moth-rodden cabinet of old fogeys.
Precisely that Anthony – I agree wholeheartedly. Factoring in the cost of what having Labour run the show will mean to business and to the country as a whole … unbelievable but true.
What makes you so sure that Labour will be soon in power?
Is this the reason for this hysterical spate of blogs?

[Daphne – Oh, you mean I have readers in Gozo? Who would have thought it.]
Let me whisper a little secret; You don’t have to be in Gozo to read about Gozo. You didn’t expect that, did you?
[Daphne – Bit slow, aren’t you? If I’m going to be influencing people in Gozo, as you suggest above, then they’ve got to be in Gozo. Unless, of course, being a Labour voter you would suggest that they take the ferry to Malta to read me here. You’re my favourite kind of whipping-boy, Chavs: a slow smart-ass.]
This survey – if true – is actually worrying for the PL. Apart from the fact that, in spite of everything, Gonzi is more trusted than Muscat, I’d have expected the PL to be ahead by a lot more than a whisker – a whole goatee at least.
On Sunday, Maltatoday was telling us that Giovanna Debono and Chris Said have 46% of the Gozitan vote between them. Now the same paper is saying that only 23.6% would vote for the PN.
“A MaltaToday survey shows Labour leading WITH a whisker in the strategic Gozo electoral district”
Toni Abela leads with whiskers too.
ChavsR(YOU) it may have escaped your notice that most people commenting here are not surprised by such news.
Question – are you surprised?
Has everyone missed this?

I like it how one sided your blog is Daphne, I think that you have a bunch of commentators who you just whistle to so that they can come and comment on your articles.
Ok yor anti PL point has been made ages ago, so I do not see the point of people coming here to waste a few minutes of their lives to read your blog.
I also do not understand how you portray the P.N as a utopian government and fail to blog on any of it’s failures.
[Daphne – I never learned how to whistle. Some words of advice, Ramon: don’t lock yourself up in your Labour Facebook bubble and convince yourselves that everyone thinks like Nakita Zammit Alamango, Dr and Mrs Chav Muscat and Astrid Vella, because believe me, they don’t.]
