This reminds me of Joe Mifsud saying on Super One media way back in the late 90s that Labour should thank God for sending them Dokter Alfred Sant ghax dak” jiccivilizzhom fl-ahhar”.
No kidding.
Dawk is-siggijiet tal-plastikk lesti ghal coffee morning? Jew ghal high tea?
Edward had better explain HOW he would do what he criticises here.
How would he pay for university stipends, the generous pensions, the free health service, or is he saying that he will stop all that?
These are very important benefits the Maltese enjoy today, including many Labour supporters.
And please, Edward, don’t tell us “through economic growth by lowering the water and electricity tariffs.” You know that is not sustainable and that subsidising tariffs does not bring economic growth but more deficit and hence more “tax and spend” or more borrowing.
“And this bad habit has grown and grown over time.
“You have a clearly unproductive shipyard. What do you do?
You borrow heavily to subsidise their wages and low productivity for two decades. You provide expensive university education for free with a small salary to the student to boot.
You provide the most generous pension scheme in Europe, free health for all, keep over-staffed ministries and government departments, and so on. And how do you do it? Tax and spend. And when you cannot tax, just borrow and borrow.”

And how about this for economic credibility:
“Without the EU and the euro, today our governance would have been in a shambles. That does not mean however we can sleep soundly just because we are in.” Only three years ago however, Scicluna had declared himself to be against Malta pegging the Maltese lira to the euro at a fixed rate upon entry into ERMII, the waiting stage for countries preparing to convert to the euro currency. He was also sceptical on whether Malta would pass the test to join the euro. Has history proved him wrong? Scicluna insists he had solid economic reasons for his doubts, insisting that it his duty to speak his mind as an economist. “As an economist I have an as-yet-unfulfilled wish to see our economy fly on its own through the principle of self-reliance, rather than through a series of well placed posts meant for the drunkard to hold onto,” Scicluna says, almost echoing Romano Prodi’s own description of Silvio Berlusconi in his management of the economy.”
“Edward ha jmur l-Ewropa biex igibilnha rispett”- Karma sabiha- what goes around comes around- and you got an A in your Maltese O-level, and you criticize those who make mistakes in English, better watch out your supposed to be primary language
BC, please translate that into English, would you? Only the part from ‘what goes…..’ onwards. if you don’t mind.
Ir-rispett tal-Ewropa gibulna tletin sena ilu Eddie Fenech Adami sur Chally Mangion.
Thanks just the same.
As usual, the PL missed the bus once again.
Did you see mizzimarlene’s promo? There’s a very revealing shot at 3.23. Along with all the others of course, such a variety of young and fresh socialites and entrepreneurs.

Interesting how Labour carries conflicts of interest to the fore.
Karm Farrugia mentioned medical importers as forming a cartel.

00:00:22 to 00:00:26: what dishonesty
“Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi presented a cheque for €10,000 for l-istrina. Dr Muscat also handed another donation of €1,000 and thanked the President for his work.”
Joseph’s Muscat looks more like Ebenezer Scrooge with that four hundred pound donation! Is that what we he calls Socialist generosity?
That’s all the Labour Party can afford.
Don’t forget, building a gallarija is by far more important than contributing to the under-privileged.
Not even here, the LP cannot get its priorities right. Just imagine how they are expected to manage the country’s economy well. Maybe with the help of magician Edward Scicluna? Charlie Mangion? Karmenu Vella? Leo Brincat?Joe Grima? AST ? Alfred Sant?
Jidher li qatt ma kellek lil xi hadd li kellu bzonn l ghajnuna. J alla ma jkollokx. Imma jekk ikollok bzonn,anki 1 euro donation tara hafna. Tghallem apprezza u ghid grazzi avolja 1000euros. Il 1000 ma tahomx lil laburisti,ima alaharea qatt, jista jghin lil xi hadd minn tal familja tieghek
Hekk hu, John. The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from Joseph Muscat’s brow.
Charles Mangion: “Mill-esperjenza li ghandi ta’ l-Unjoni Ewropea, meta nmur hemmhekk…”
There I was thinking that we have been part of the EU since 2004.
You can put lipstick on a pig…
Look at the awful way the audience is dressed and the average age of the audience. They look like a bunch of peasants from a remote area in Romania.
I noticed on this video clip that one of Professor Scicluna’s molars is missing.
With his MEP salary. I am sure he cannot afford a good dentist.
It is a premolar and any dentist worth his salt can have it replaced by an implant or bridge without any pain or discomfort. The aesthetic returns are very high for a person representing Malta in EP.
“Bhala Partit Laburista ahna tghallimna haga wahda li ghandna inkunu kburin li ahna Maltin ghax ahna kapaci daqs kulhadd.” – Charles Mangion, 0:15, video above.
Why does the word “Makku” come to mind?
IL-QALB KOLLOX.
He’s just exploiting that sentiment we all know too well. The “Maltese Hero” sentiment – the short, tanned, Libyan-looking man coming from a tiny island from the middle of nowhere, YET, he still manages to inspire and make people from abroad gasp at his brilliance – against all odds and all expectations. As all the spectators in the room try to regain their breath after the awe-inspiring presence of the “Maltese man”, he looks back and whispers “I wasn’t what you were expecting was I?” – winks at the camera, credits roll. From then on, the Maltese people were regarded as brilliant folk, thanks to the Maltese Labour Party who imported respect from abroad for the first time – causing people to suddenly notice that little black dot on a map of the Med. And they all lived happily ever after…..until they snapped out of it.
