It’s not as if Joseph Muscat’s policies weren’t spelled out right from the beginning. Remember that famous first interview chez the Muscats, where Lil Din showed us her gingerbread skills?

Joseph had a (French) gay couple (from the Sorbonne, no less) strategically drop in by accident just at the right moment.

Gay.

But not black.

There.

Our self-concept was fucked up by the independence movement. A country this small cannot exist as a separate entity. It’s like claiming that Gibraltar is a nation-state. If we’d become a British dependency we wouldn’t have all these hang-ups about ‘European identity’ or ‘Arabic language’.

I don’t know if anything can be done about it. It’s too late now. But our intellectuals, with their heads firmly up their arses, aren’t helping. Mark Anthony Falzon seems to be the only one who sees these things.

I think that’s a pretty good assessment.

You’re definitely not the only one Volley.

Desperate immigrants give rise to abuse by employers to lower wages and working conditions, pushing the Maltese out of the labour market.

You cannot compare the Maltese who went to Australia in the past, they went there with passport and the correct documentation and not paid a human trafficker to get them to Australia.

Immigration has destroyed the character of many parts of the UK. Malta must deal with illgeal immigration head on.

Like it happened in many parts of the UK, that is why Labour (UK) let so many immigrants into the UK.

Moreover, any non-Maltese who hears us talk would say our language is a form of Arabic.

So a way of trying to distance ourselves from this image is to not only deny these roots but spew hatred at every occasion. What such people don’t realise is that this attitude and Norman Lowell’s talk does not bring us any closer to European thought and culture but rather the opposite.

Spot on Catsrbest. I’ve always believed that the outcome of the last general election was the result of selfishness and ego-centricsm of the majority of the Maltese people. So I’m not the only one who thinks this way.

Changed my foot!

So that’s what Joseph’s next ‘terrimott’ was about – transforming the socialist party into a far right party of hatred.
