I’m not sure you got the ‘tinda b’xejn’ clue, yor/malta, let alone having PL MEPs helping the PN with other people’s money… but we’ll leave it at that.

I AM dealing with children here, after all, and let’s not forget that.

I agree with you about Alfred Sant however I assumed that when you referred to ‘disturbing your well being’ you were referring to the violence and lack of human rights that existed back during Mintoff times. My point is that I do not recall such similarities under Alfred Sant.

[Daphne – My goodness, why does it have to be all about violence? Alfred Sant’s government – and let’s not forget that it includes many people who are trying to become ministers again now, including Karmenu Vella – did so very much damage, not just with that chaos in replacing VAT with CET, but primarily by withdrawing Malta from the EU membership process.]

Here are just a few typical ones.

The day after Joseph Muscat appears in the balcony at the Mile End, they will get a ‘New Labour Government’ with a ‘new’ cabinet starring George Vella, Karmenu Vella, Alex Sceberras Trigona, Joseph Debono Grech and Leo Brincat -the same people who ruined their youth. A 39-year old Super One hack takes over at Castille.

Then, they will learn that the word ‘moviment’ has been abolished from local politics and that it has been replaced by ‘Partit Laburista fil-Gvern,’ or ‘Gvern Gdid Laburista’ which is only the same old Mintoffian Malta Labour Party with a Maltese name that means ‘Gvern tal-Laburisti biss’ and ‘Gvern tal-vendikazzjonijiet man-Nazzjonalisti.’

A few days later, they will see bazuzli about their same age or even older taking positions of leadership in the Authorities, boards, and government owned enterprises and agencies. Names like Norman Hamilton, Godfrey Grima, Marlene Cat Siut Mizzi, Mario Vella…

Within one week, the PBS will be returned to Dardir Malta as Jason and his team will be installed there to stage-manage every government event, including the opening of a car-parks which are not yet ready.

Within a few weeks, Joseph Muscat will appear on a Xandira lin-Nazzjon to tell the public that he cannot reduce the water and electricity tariffs neither substantially nor sustainably because the international price of oil is going up and because of the ‘hofra’ and the ‘dejn nazzjonali.’

Within a few months, the labour market will start to wobble. Unemployment starts to rise, and there will be queues of jobless as predicted by the pre-election billboards.

In less than one year, in the first Labour budget, the bored ones will discover a whole list of new taxes and cuts in education, stipends, and charges on the health sector.

At this point, things start going wrong.

Attempts will be made to suppress the freedom of expression and the Prime Minister will reply with “no comment” about the situation in the country.

Fundamental human rights will be suspended so that the Labour government can handle the situation in the ‘national interest.’

The New Labour Government will try to blame the previous government and the EU.

Before we know it, the bored ones will see the country knocking on the doors of the IMF asking for a bailout.

Jekk tohrog ghall-elezzjoni int, Kev, lanqas Sharon ma tivvutalek.

Madonna x’ nit haqq!

Kev your sarcasm is reeking of self pity and envy for those that believe in a tangible system and do something with their lives that improves the lot of others .
