Kev, int donnhok ghandek grudge kontra d-dinja, u dan Ivan Camilleri tal-cut and paste min ix-xjafek hu? Kun dasxejn izjed gentili siehbi, irrispetta l-opinjoni ta’ hadd iehor, jien dejjem bir-rispett irrispondejtek.

Predictably, Hollande is blaming the previous president, Nicolas Sarkozy. We can just imagine Joseph’s excuses and U-turns down the line when he becomes our Prim Ministru!

Hollande promised all to everybody much like The Movement, pledging to revive France’s economy, reduce unemployment, and reverse the outflux of industries from the country. Yet the latter are fleeing the crippling taxation where the high earners (the industrialists actually creating jobs!) are expected to pay up to 75% in tax!

Since the Socialists won the election, many major companies have announced thousands of layoffs, including Peugeot, and Air France-KLM.

Replace Hollande with Joseph and Air France with Air Malta and you don’t need to wait for the coming months to know what our future will look like if we hand our destiny and livelihoods to the boy politician from Burmarrad.

Jozef, thawwadx, please – I do not work with Sharon’s party.

Int x’inhu xogholok? Taghlef it-tigieg?

Or maybe your job is to manage the funds provided by the EU to Sharon’s improvised ‘alliance for freedom’ into one of Joe Sammut’s investment schemes.

Let’s see, Le Pen, Hungarian fascists, Belsito’s Lega, (who did say he got his degree from a Maltese private university).

Swell.

Etil, let your mind boggle no futher. I will make it very, very simple for you:

Parliament = representation
Representation = red, blue, yellow, green… MEPs, which may roughly be categorised as totalitarians, eurofanatics, pollyannas, nationalists, libertarians and so-called eurosceptics/eurorealists.

My job is to help those Members representing libertarian and eurosceptic voters. And since ‘eurosceptism’ denotes doubt, I wouldn’t really call myself a eurosceptic, but a libertarian.

So which part of the term ‘democratic representation’ don’t you understand?

Joethemaltaman – “unjoni ta’ stati sovrani”?

Iddahhaqx nies bik. Qas Barroso, dak il-giddieb, ghax wasal sa “federation of nation states”. Trid tara x’jghidu it-trattati (u l-ligijiet) il-godda biex tkun taf x’direzzjoni mexjin fiha. Jekk tibqa’ taqra l-copy & paste jobs ta’ Ivan Camilleri, cuc kont u hekk se tibqa.

Ara is-sur Pepso kemm ili ma narah! X’minnek ras? Ghadek ma ddejjaqtx fost in-nejxin of cindrins, jew qed tistenna lil tal-Arriva jehduk x’imkien ghall-kwiet?

Do not quite understand you Kev. If you are so keen anti-EU why are you still esconsed in Brussels, having it good at our expense – in the sense that we voted to be part of the EU whilst your better half and you voted against – the mind boggles.

If you are so sure of your convictions, then come back to Malta and enlighten us with your intelligent solutions to the world’s problems and contribute accordingly.

Yes, canon, interestingly enough it did. It is amazing what people will do to get themselves into power and how they will change tack at a moment’s notice.

I was always under the impression that a significant number of households (I seem to recall an amount of 30,000 being bandied about at some point in time) already receive subsidised bills, and children’s allowance and probably already live in government housing.

Will these receive further subsidies and if so what would the quantum be. Would it be more than the famous increase in ‘living wage’ that was discussed and valued by Caritas at Euro 1,600 per annum?

But, I forget, Joseph promised it, so it must be achievable

Just read your piece Kev, now off to bed. yawn yawn.
