They probably think they are the vultures.

Couldn’t agree more Ramona! Sometimes, people get complacent and used to living the “good life” that for the slightest of reasons, they decide to rebel…. God forbid we have a repetition of Mintoff’s era! At least Merkel and the rest of the EU are watching JM like a hawk.

By horrible I mean that it is very likely that within the next five years MuscatLP will cast the island back to the economic dark ages.

The people will suffer a fate worse than the 1970s and the 1980s. At least, in those days, the Lira had some value on the international exchange markets because of a relatively rich gold reserve.

I do not want to think what would happen with the onslaught of a recession in the style of Greece, Spain and others.

It won’t be Malta taghna lkoll then – it’ll be “Flee! Run for your lives” and very cruel austerity measures under the Nats.

Which is where Labour’s raison d’etre comes in.
