Anthony just hoping and praying won’t work wonders.

We all need to pull our weight and try to persuade even one person who is saying that he/she won’t vote because of something the PN did and which they did not like, to reconsider and for the larger picture and common good and vote Gonzi in again.

Kevin, you are a skid mark on the fabric of spacetime.

The number of graduates has been increasing for twenty years, but Labour has gone from strength to strength.

Oh for fuck’s sake Harry. You said it yourself. It’s a fine place for retirees, maybe – if they have enough money. But not for anyone trying to build a career.

Malta is an isolated rock. You can live well with an income above 50k p/a. Anything below that, and it’ll kill you.

I have just hosted Canadian in-laws who live in New Zealand. They were so impressed with our rock that are contemplating retiring here. They also now understand why I live here.

Who is Eurozone Hawks?

Can’t wait for the day when Malta becomes a net contributor because then Malta would be at par (economically) with the best performers within the EU.

If Labour gets the key to the Treasury, it will be déjà vu all over again and Joseph will be door knocking begging for alms.

We have to shed the entitlement mentality and stop asking “what’s in it for me”? When we stop thinking that way, we would show a bit of maturity.

I can vouch for what you wrote.

Thanks for providing a link, Gakki – I had to trawl it through a google search as their site is pre-millennial.

It’s mostly parochial talk, but “bailout rescue” is my pick. Ghal naqra mhux ‘bailout rescue aid’, and yet, it’s nothing of the sort: it is, instead, the act of adding to the debt of a debt-bankrupted nation pushing it into a downward spiral: higher debt servicing, austerity measures, unemployment, lower growth rates, less taxable gains, higher and more widespread taxation, deflation offset by monetary inflation, more unemployment… (Then Draghi saves us. And note: us, not the Greeks, but us European citizens, owned by the EU, played by the ECB)

‘We are able to borrow more, nationally, at better rates,’ is what Mifsud is saying.

‘And our citizens are not as indebted as in Spain, and the banks are full of dosh,’

Prosit Mifsud. So I gather our 5-billion-euro national debt can be stretched even further… And it will. Wait till the ESM starts functioning: just another half a billion euros to borrow – il-poplu ghandu, gib ix-xugaman…

Go figure, Taks Fors.

But the point is “ruled” by Gonzi or “ruled” by Joseph, we’re going to have fishcakes for dinner and you’re invited.
