Will Alfred Sant threaten to bite other MEP’s noses off if contradicted ?

Lord help us all.

Even if the PM did not point out Malta’s economic success, relative to most other EU countries, statistics do not lie and are there for anyone to see.
No doubt. if the PM comes back (when an agreement is finally reached) with anything less than what Labour and Franco Debono will determine, he would be called to task.
The fact is that contrary to what the LP preaches, if Malta does so well as to become a net contributor, the standard of living, the wages, the GDP and other indicators would be at or better than the EU average.
Of course, it would be a much easier job for a Labour govt to sit easy and draw on EU funds than bust their butt to find meaningful, permanent and well paying jobs. Anything less would be going back to hiring thousands, digging ditches at ‘frozen’ minimum wages or ’16 year old early school leavers’ who were guaranteed a job by the 39 year old PM himself!

But we are not yet. Malta doesn’t get handouts but remains a net recipient until its economy gets to operate on an acceptable EU average. It is after all one of the main goals and missions of the EU.

We are eagerly hoping Malta becomes a net contributor. It would mean we have made the grade.

Why do we always have to expect handouts? If we were really grown up about this, we’d aspire to becoming net contributors.

With 300m less EU budget funds Malta may have a difficult task to sustain the economic growth we are now used to. The employment sector would be the first to be effected and a result other areas may follow.

Malta needs a strong, intelligent and dynamic leadership to guarantee continuity in the excellent economic performance and creation of wealth.

History has shown that the best option for continuity is definately a Nationalist party in government.

The bottom line is that no other party has ever had the foresight, capability and acumen to take Malta forward in such a meaningful and successful way.

I would think that this Alfred Sant thing is a climb-down for this man.

Or else he promised to give his salary to the Labour Party coffers – they need money badly.

It will not be very long now, for us to hear that KMB is thinking on similar lines. – Bless them.!! – Eddy Privitera, your comments, please

And we should all believe Eddy Privitera on the basis of John Dalli being squeaky clean and oh-so-credible, I guess.

If you put them all together in a Magimix you will get next to nothing Barroso and all.

HardTalk tonight has shown the world the mettle out of which world class politicians and statesmen are made.

Shimon Peres nearing ninety, bless him.

More than sixty years on centre stage.

Stephen Sackur pressed him to the limits of highly professional journalism.

What a performance.

What a man.

I wonder what he must think of the Brussels circus and its clowns.

I wonder.

I will now watch the epic interview all over again on line.

My adulation of real men (and women) knows no bounds.
