With so many clowns, no wonder we need three carnivals.

A very valid point! Come the first batch of graduates next November and it will be the true baptism of fire for the new government. I’m not good at making predictions (because my information is quite limited) but I can only see things moving backwards.

If there is no new demand for the jobs our students are being trained in, I’m all agog to see Joseph’s Youth Guarantee (so much vaunted during the election campaign) in action.

When I first heard it it reminded me of Mintoff’s electoral promise in 1971 – ‘Xoghol ghal Kulhadd fi zmien 3 Xhur’ (Work for All within 3 Months!) only to be translated in a never-ending series of Work Corps (most of them under military discipline).

So yes, Labour has always represented CHANGE – of the wrong and retrograde kind. Joseph too has promised change and we already have a good clue of it.

His changes in the general economy and the labour market takes a bit longer to materialise than those of the Permanent Secretaries.

He didn’t even have the guts to come out of the closet, and that must have bred a lot of anger and frustration.

Il-mekkanizmu ta’ kif haddem lilek il-gvern Laburista tieghek, tajjeb ghal dawk il-mitt ruh, fosthom inti, li jhobbu jittalbu imma ibqa cert li dawk l-eluf kollha li ha jiggradwaw fl-ahhar tas-sena, impossibli jittalbu,

1) ghax ma jisthoqqilhomx,

2) ma jistghux jittalbu ghaliex il-gvern mhux ha jlehhaq ma’ dik id-domanda kollha ghax kulhadd jaf li tlehhaq mad-demand, irid ikollok a good supply li kulhadd jaf, supply ta’ jopps m’hawnx.

Bieb f’wicchom ha jsibu. Hekk hudu go fikom, ja mbecilli tfal li tahsbu bhal Frederick Testa. Issa tehduha t-taghlima, ma ddumux wisq.

Fl-ahhar iz-zejt dejjem jitla. Dnub li ghadkom zghar wisq biex jidhku bikom ghax intom, wara dawk is-snin kollha ta’ studju, jisthoqqilkom l-ahjar gid fil-pajjiz. Gid li minnu l-ewwel tgawduh intom. Mhux xi wiehed bhal Frederick Testa, imhallas ghax ittallab.

So Fred, has Joe brought in work opportunities for these students as in a ‘creation of jobs’?

Come November, those kids will be unemployed, resting on social services and the tax payer. The economy will stagnate and a recession will follow.

Thank you, Mr Hollande, for your good political example.

No matter how many “letters” they have after their name, no matter how many privileges they have had growing up under a PN government, they are very convinced of all this.

The point is that Malta really is in shambles if the majority share this kind of thinking.

And who do we think is the worst theatre director in Maltese history? Mmmm we all know the answer to that, don’t we.
