[Daphne – Jimmy, why aren’t you using your full name? Yes, Angus Black is a real person. I have his real name and his real email address. I also recall that he used to post the exact same sort of comments using his real name on timesofmalta.com. Something must have happened. Who knows what? So many people are scared of your Labour Party.]

We would not be EU members since AS froze our application.
We would still be using the Maltese lira, devalued 15% and probably heading for yet another devaluation.
We would still have massive unemployment and the best jobs would still be in low paying textile mills.
We would not have smelled a euro, let alone adopt it as our currency.
We would still be begging, scraping and letting our infrastructure and heritage buildings crumble to dust.
We would not have an e855 million injection from the EU since, we would have been after something called ‘Partnership’ which the EU has denied its existence repeatedly.
We would be paying for electricity many times over what AS had planned to charge when oil was selling for $12.00 as opposed to today’s price of $120.00 a barrel.

Where would we be without a billion euro EU grant? Back to the old days of Labour when Foreign Affairs meant organizing trips for Labour leaders to go begging funds door to door and make secret deals with Communist countries. Gaddafi would have the only monument in the world, in his memory.

Il-Malti jghid, “Mill mitluf hu li jista”, but as far as the Labour Party goes, it never learns and keeps repeating mistakes even kids in reception classes would not make. Joseph is a perfect example.

That’s what Yana Mintoff Bland and Labour elves should be pondering on and not about Dumink’s bocci.
