In reply to mandango70. When Joseph Muscat burns his bra and those of Karmenu Vella, Anglu Farrugia, Joe Galea Debono e 'la bella compania', then they can call themselves feminist.

In reply to Eddy Privitera.

Mr. Privitera, the great thing about writing is that it allows you to put thoughts into words. This implies that we can see the line of thought in one’s writing.

What is your point: should the opposition vote against the party in government because it is the norm to do so? Or is it because an election is ‘weeks away’? What do you understand by ‘democracy’? Is it not the will of the majority?

Fuzzy logic or plain LP?

Name one opposition in the democratic world when the opposition had voted in favour of the budget, when the budget in itself, is a vote of confidence in the government. This was confirmed by the prime minister. And when an election could be weeks away !

He did, and it was evidently a slip. You know what he meant, feminist rather than feminine.

[Daphne – No, I don’t know what he meant. If somebody says ‘feminine’, then I hear the meaning as ‘feminine’ not ‘feminist’. It’s not all the same to me, you know.]

But apart from that, you suggest that we stop playing with words. Actually what you should have said about the budget is that the Government should stop playing the game as if it were business as usual. The consultations with the unions and social partners intended to collate ideas for inclusion or otherwise in the budget is just a waste of time.

I cannot comprehend for the life of me why the unions bother to meet and put their ideas forward if the govt is already dead in the water.

Look at the mangled grammar and the ludicrousness of this statement:

“The PL has also become a more feminine movement, he added. This is one of the more serious problems of public life in Malta…”

They’re all wearing drag, what?
