In reply to Jozef. Nah. Why should we emulate the bloody Italians when we were born Englishmen?

In reply to Abulafia.

Agreed, if only they followed the Tuscan or Emilian strain of catho-communism.

In reply to Abulafia. Yours is a rare perspicacity, Abulafia. But then, given your name, I shouldn't be surprised. Historians rule.

Her opinion piece betrays her ignorance of Maltese society. She preaches distributism, citing Mondragon as an example, oblivious of the fact that similar set-ups would fail in Malta.

Most Maltese consider employment solely as a means to provide money to feed the family and fund their entertainment. The desire to master one’s profession for it’s own sake is illogical to most. You’ll find no society of artisans here. We could have had something like that post-indendence, but the Maltese preferred trade unions to guilds and chose a hodgepodge of socialism and Sicilian-style patronage, replete with a command economy, bulk buying and the forced nationalisation of private companies. Twenty-five years later and the Maltese still are still stuck in this socialist rut.

Anyway, rant over. I will grant Ms. Bland one point though: the level of blatant clientelism (political or otherwise) in the health care industry is unacceptable in 2013 and it makes me doubt the integrity of any medical professional running for parliament.

If she cares so much for the lot of the poor working class, she should put her money where her mouth is by donating her share of the fabulous Mintoff inheritance to some officially-recognized charitable institution
