Well they are paying some lower tuition fees actually even though they are in the EU. See this

Quite a few people cheered and celebrated when they heard that Baroness Thatcher died [I watched it on Sky News].

Even a popular British singer [Morissey] slandered her on the news, but none of these were threatened with death or pissing on their graves or tied up to a car bumper and dragged along, because they live in a free country and they can express themselves however they like regardless of what each and everyone of us think.

Excuse me. I’m at a loss here, how can the University of Malta accept all the students, Maltese, British or from EU member countries that qualify? Surely it’s only logical that only a certain number of students can be catered for at any one moment, whether paying or not?

Taking the medical students case, if only 160 students can be enrolled as per the ratio quoted above, why did the UoM accept the extra 20?

In reply to Damian. It isn't. The suggestion is to have a second university in Gozo.

Five ministers (including 1 prime minister) to meet a delegation from a British charity?

Did the ministers also bring along their spouses as volunteers to round it up to 10?

In reply to ron. The first suggestion of the private sector to itself will be to take flight.

In reply to Damian. Yes, just like the 80s students testing on human beings.

In reply to Mister.

Where was Konrad Mizzi in the past couple of years?

Enemalta’s accounts up to 2010 are published on the corporation’s website, and they show 700 million euros of debt at end of 2010.

It was to be expected that with the construction of a new power station which was completed in 2012, there would be some more debt.

But did the Minister say anything about Enemalta’s assets?

At the end of 2010, Enemalta had more assets than debt, and therefore one can presume that this situation has not significantly changed by end of 2012.

Shame on you, Minister.
