How progressive and liberal is that
This comment was sent in by a Maltese woman of non-European extraction, and vividly describes Leo Brincat’s ingrained prejudices:
Talking about Leo Brincat, I know that he only wants my vote but does not really care about my country, Malta.
Before the last election, his minders knocked on every door in our street and we all waited for him to turn up.
I wanted to ask him about education, health, and especially the EU which he and his colleagues fought to keep Malta from joining.
But he walked into my home, looked past me as if I didn’t exist, stood in the middle of my drawing-room, looked around to see if there was a voter in the house, then turned and left without uttering a single syllable.
Because I obviously do not look Maltese, he saw me as a waste of his time.
If he had good manners, if he was not so transparently vote-searching, I might have given him the benefit of doubt and believed that he wanted my vote because he cared and wanted Malta to be a better country.
I might have given more thoughts about whether he deserved my vote and the votes of my family and friends.
His appalling behaviour convinced me that a vote was the only thing he cared about, to hell with the rest, including decency and good manners.
I would never trust anyone like that to look after my children, my children’s future and to run my country. Would you trust him?

Isn’t it time to treat politicians like Herr Flick in the same way they deal with ‘blocks of ice’ in the Labour Party clubs, and deposit him in the dustbin of history?
What do you expect from him? I chanced him on the box recently, and found him the most boorish and repulsive of politicians.
A cold fish.
You mean a barracuda, right?
At first I thought piranha, but remembered something special, that is known, amongst other things, as the Candiru:

Why is it that no Socialist politician comes knocking on my door. I promise that I shall let him/her in. Shall also offer a whisky on the rocks. No ice however.
Shocking, truly shocking. Then again, what can one expect from a dinosaur of the Mintoff era?
