Over the past 15 years, DESPITE THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DEPRESSION IN LIVING MEMORY, people have been living so well that they have been lulled into thinking that protests, demonstrations and problems are an alien concept to Malta.

This is particularly true for the first time voters who don’t even remember these events.

Yes, the demonstrations you see taking place in Spain, Greece and other countries every day on the news can very well take place in Malta too. You just need the volatile mix of Labour’s bad governance and their awful policies.

Dan hu l-kuntest li fih jien fhimt lil Simon Busuttil meta, biex jispjega l-qerq ta’ JM, iddeskriviha b’wiċċ ta’ nazzjonalista. U bħas-soltu l-labour qala’ l-frażi mill-kuntest tagħha u mmanipulaha għall-iskopijiet tiegħu.

Aktar il-fuq, Lomax ma kienx sorpriż bil-mossa ta’ Schembri. Il-mara mhix injoranta (kienet tidher fuq kazi ta’ annullament quddiem it-tribunal tal-kurja), imma naħseb li l-pożizzjoni ġdida tagħha tirrifletti wkoll il-karattru u għalhekk naqbel mal-analisi ta’ Daphne li certa nies ma jitgħallmux….

“Once bitten, twice shy” ma tgħoddx għalihom.

Now, the students at the university and MCAST were protesting and booing at the prime minister and no one stopped them.

Can you imagine under a Labour goverment, having students booing the prime minister?

Perhaps on another level, what Labour wants is to keep us students and young people ignorant so that they follow rather than think and decide (just like what we had in the 80s).

Those people booing the prime minister today are almost certainly the children of Mintoff’s Generazzjoni Socjalista, which has now become Malta Taghna Lkoll.

Will this apply for us Maltese? Or must we be twice bitten to learn?
