In reply to Plotinus. Mark Cutajar is also a (maths) teacher at an independent school, and was absent from class for a couple of days post-election. Knowing what I do now (this blog is so informative!) about his appointment at KMS, it would be interesting to know the reasons for his absence, though I would prefer to assume that he was physically indisposed, rather than that he took leave (or otherwise) for political reasons.

In reply to P Shaw. You can report such offensive sites to the Facebook administration. I just did. If we all report similar offensive sites, there will be less of them around. Spread the word, and the reports. ;)

In reply to Harry Purdie. Actually, they were North Africans and told me to stay away from the Maltese.

In reply to Conservative.

Integration was a ridiculous Mintoffian idea. Impossible, perverted, and as always with him, a ploy.

We should have gone for dependency status. That’s our natural place in history. A British dependency.

Then I wouldn’t have had these peasants lording it over me.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

I’ve just done precisely that. It’s line 1 of my comment.

But then I’m Mr Nobody, so they won’t listen.

California dreaming. Will we also get Michelle in a ‘two piece’ doing 50 miles an hour on roller skates too?

In reply to On a break.

With a circus for a cabinet, and a clown for a prime minister, what would you expect?

The second republic. As if the one shoved down our throats by that nasty piece of work in 1974 was not enough!

Rejecting integration in the fifties was a big tactical mistake by the PN. It would have spared us Mintoff and KMB, Sant and Muscat. We could have had the catholic church as the established church for Malta, in the same way as the Church of Scotland is the established church in Scotland.

We would have been in the EU anyway, and British nationals, just like the isles. We would have had the constant presence of British statesmen and servicemen, reminding the local bunch of peasants that Malta is the size of a bird dropping in the overall scheme of things.

And they would have had to learn English and hopefully we would have less ignorance and insularity.

Sigh. We would have had a fully functioning government of competents, with The Queen as head of state instead of George Plaques Abela.

The benefit of hindsight. It is a wonderful thing. But completely useless.
