People who want to move up to middle-class levels, need to help themselves.

Even if Dr Muscat &#039;helps&#039; out, rest assured they&#039;ll still be the type to want everything for free and the minute the Dottore fastens his belt tightly, would be the minute the so-called &#039;new mittle-cless&#039; will go down again.

In simple english, Mr Privitera, those who are &#039;sinking&#039; left themselves sink or they are sinking because they are going through psychological problems and had no other option - force of health circumstances -  no &#039;new labour&#039; will put this right.]]></description>

@ Eddy Privitera

Ahjar tikkkoncentra fuq dak li &#039;qed jghid&#039; li ser jaghmel il-partit tieghek, li sa issa, wieghdiet biss ta&#039; lil poplu. 

U bil-haqq lanqas huma weghdiet elettorali. M&#039;humiex wieghdiet serji. M&#039;humiex wieghdiet li jaghmlu sens konkret. M&#039;humiex wieghdet bis-sens komun. Huma biss Tama.

Misskom tifhu ghaqda u ssemmuha &#039;Dar Speranza&#039;.  Tmorru tajjeb zgur.

Qiskom Vanna Marchi. ]]></description>

Dal Gvern, Grazzi ghalih, ta&#039; lil poplu il-qasba. Min ra l-qasba mar jistaghad u rnexxielu.

Il-Partit tal-PL qed iwieghed il-huta. U n-nies iridu l-huta u mhux il-qasba. Dik hi r-realta.

Enlighten us, Eddie, does the PL have the means to help the people succeed? If it does, ghidilna l-pjaniet.

You seem to know what is on their agenda, so tell me how come nothing has been printed in black on white?

You know what happened to people who were promised, verbally, things they wished to have or see done hux? They got nothing. Just hope.
