While Labour talks rot about Gay Pride, the Nationalist Party understands that death by racism is the real issue here
Joseph Muscat would rather talk about gay sex (demonstrating that he believes all gay men do is hump each other) than racist murders. I wonder why. I guess he knows that racists and bigots tend to vote for Labour, the right-wing, illiberal, xenophobic party.
The Nationalist Party has just released this statement. Thank God (or Frank Psaila) for that.

Filwaqt li l-Partit Nazzjonalista jistenna l-eżitu tal-investigazzjonijiet dwar il-mewt ta’ persuna mill-Mali, u jinsab fiduċjuż li se ssir ġustizzja ma ddumx, jesprimi l-inkwiet tiegħu dwar sentimenti razzisti li nies irresponsabbli u populisti, fil-media u anke fil-politika, qed irewwħu f’pajjiżna.
Il-Partit Nazzjonalista jemmen, bil-fatti, mhux bil-paroli, f’soċjeta’ ġusta, ħanina u li tilqa u tagħti kenn lil min hu fil-bżonn – filwaqt li mill-Gvern jaħdem biex il-piż tal-immigrazzjoni jinqasam b’mod ġust bejn il-pajjiżi kollha tal-UE.
Il-Partit Nazzjonalista fil-Gvern salva eluf ta’ persuni minn ħalq il-mewt meta kienu qed jegħrqu wara li ħarbu minn pajjiżhom – u qatt ma għamel bħal ħaddieħor li nsista li Malta għandha tirrifjuta li tgħinhom kif għamlu pajjiżi oħra.
Il-Partit Nazzjonalista jiddefendi d-drittijiet tal-immigranti u meta jitkellem dwar soċjeta’ ġusta ma jħarisx lejn il-voti – kif sfortunatament jagħmel ħaddieħor.
Sfortunatament, politiċi populisti u esponenti irresponsabbli fil-media, qed ikomplu jrewħu sentimenti razzisti li jwasslu għal inċidenti li f’pajjiżna ma għandhom QATT ikunu tollerati”.

That’s a great statement from the PN. Keep up the good work.
Well done, Frank.
Well done, Frank.
Has anyone heard a word from the Partit Laburista?
And I bet you anything that Labour bigots such as that fool Eddy Privitera will come out and duly condemn this statement by the PN.
Liberal and progressive, my foot.
Kudos to Frank for such a frank statement.
The government had better do something about the untimely death of this African. It stains Malta’s reputation and plunges the nation below the line of civility.
I am sure there are those who think that this African ‘deserved’ what he got, without pondering on the possibility that the next victim of police/military brutality may be themselves of their kin.
By the way, what has the PL to say about this?
@ Randon
The dead man is from Mali. Read my lips M-A-L-I. All Malians are Africans but not all Africans are Malians. What is this fixation of labelling all dark-skinned individuals as African.
I take it that you are from Malta, which also makes you European, so…….Do you get my drift?
[Daphne – Hang on. The problem is actually with BLACK AFRICANS, wherever they are from.]
They are both very real issues, and because we are not single brain cell organisms we shouldn’t have to choose one over the other.
[Daphne – I disagree with you totally on this, Alison (though not on many other things). It is absurd to suggest that homosexuals are imperilled in Malta in the same way that African people are, or that people in general feel towards gay men/women in the same way they do towards Africans. Nobody’s ever tried to burn my house down with me and my family asleep inside just because I write about gay issues, that’s for sure. It was kind of different when I wrote about racism.]
:) I didn’t say that homosexuals are imperilled in the same way that African people are…and thank goodness for that.
What I said was that they are both real issues that need addressing and that they don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
It seems this isn’t something the people he speaks to are concerned about.
But then he didn’t once visit the open centres either, not when Justyne’s better half had declared it a no-go area.
His ‘indignation’ provides good commentary for a particular type of video belonging to the weird end of youtube. I suppose if the ixxjuw had the vote, the video would be officially endorsed.
Or maybe not, one of his MP’s proposed the segregation of these people to their own bus, in the name of our peace of mind.
Joseph never said anything about that either.

Note how he has to correct himself everytime he mentions them. Then he gives us that flag in the name of Gay Pride. Please.
Image-wise, it’s uphill for the PN, for there isn’t one single ‘nationalist party’ in Europe that is not ‘far right’. So at the European level they will always need to emphasise their political correctness, even if the corporate media know who they are.
Indeed, some ‘populist’ movements are shunning names like ‘national party’ to avoid the negative ‘far right’ label with which the corporate media brand any freedom-leaning movement that’s not ‘politically correct’ – i.e. not within the defined left-right paradigm (it is of course the corporate media that decide what is politically correct, with the world’s mainstream media following suit, including tat-Tajmz, GahanToday, TVM, Maltastar and the rest of the Daphne-type mainstreamers who never dig beneath the scratched surface they’re offered).
In any case, the brave PN persists in being called Partit Nazzjonalista. For what choice have they got?
Partit Demokristjan Malti? Partit Konservattiv? Partit Popolari Malti? Partit Liberali? Partit Nepotetiku? Partit tal-Maduma?
Who knows! If the party experiences huge upheaval while Joseph plays PM, they might choose to drop the ‘partit’ and come up with something new age – a name that sounds like a slogan, such as Maghqudin Fl-Ewropa, or, to keep the PN acro, Poplu Newwiehi.
Here are some other possible PN acronyms:
1. Pensjoni Nassigurawlek (in case we go bust)
2. Poplu Nisrani! (in case Roman Catholicism starts losing ground to other religions)
3. Pane e Nutrimenti! (in case of widespread hunger)
4. Pene, e Nemmeno! (in case Joseph… never mind.)
5. Paci Nirvanika (in case we’re hit by one of the ever-increasing wars)
6. Pajjizna Newtrali (naaaah! Been there, ask Eddie)
7. Perpendikolarment Nirbhu! (in case everyone falls perpetually asleep)
8. Pashli Na-huy (if attracting the Russian vote becomes crucial)
9. Pitirrossi Nassaba (in the unlikely scenario that everyone goes green)
10. Pee-Nuts (PN goes hip-hop)
