Another John, if you really think that I can take civil steps to sort the situation regarding my neighbour, or even that I may take steps to educate her, then you clearly don’t know my neighbour.

I won’t go into details, but let me just say that it would be dangerous even to let her know that she is bothering the rest of us. In any case, her children have already been deprived of their father (again, I won’t elaborate), so it’s a bit of a dilemma to determine what’s best for them – whether reporting their mother after all they have already been through, is actually in their benefit.

In any case, you ask whether one “loud neighbour” is equivalent to a neighbourhood of new arrivals with different ways of life. I can tell you that it is not equivalent. It is not even comparable.

I’m not bothered with different cultures provided they respect the law. Perhaps you are, which would explain why you find my “answer” ridiculous.

Incidentally, haven’t you considered that your “solution” to my problem with my neighbour applies equally to any number of persons, be they Maltese or immigrants? Can’t you also take steps to “educate them” or report them if they are breaking any laws?

You see the introduction of foreign ethnic groups into local communities as an imposition. Your premise itself is faulty so your logic falls flat on its face. You have no right to choose your neighbours, and anyone has the right to live anywhere, provided they do it legally (as all refugees granted permission to stay do). You only have the right to adapt or move.

With all due respect Mrs.Caruana Galizia, who got sense in his mind knows that we maltese supposed to be CATHOLICS, in real life we don t give a damn of what our religion teaches cause if we did there would not be all this fuss about illegal migrants, we would accept them and help them.

That s what the bible says regard helpless individuals.
It s a known fact that we twist and turn our religion to our likings and needs.But these asylum seekers are still very devoted to their religious or cultural beliefs. And I think that Mr.fearne is being very realistic.

To Mr.Antoine Vella,
I think you did not understand Mr.Fearne’s Proposal.
It s true that fgm is not legal in malta BUT female babies born in Malta to the asylum seekers are at great risk of going through the fgm because it s part of their religion or cultural beliefs.

[Daphne – Kindly don’t generalise. This like saying that all Maltese believe in the virgin birth and that nobody should have sex outside marriage, or that homosexuals should remain celibate until death, and presumably also after that. Or that it’s ‘cultural’ for Maltese men to beat their wives when they don’t do as they’re told.]

I think that my point is very clear.

The person who threw the banana looked on Kyenge as an inferior on one criterion only – her colour. Not her profession or the office she held.

And her response had a dignity about it far superior than those who tried to offend her.

I wonder if a tin foil hat would keep the sun off in this infernal weather. I think I’ll give it a go.

She isn’t exactly top-ranked.

In any case, the problem isn’t Kyenge. It’s her appointment, which smacks of condescension. Just like making Cyrus Engerer the head of the consultative council on LGBT rights just because he’s a homosexual. The assumption here is that Kyenge will make an excellent minister for racial integration (they call it ‘integration’) just because she is black.

It just had to be the Italians.

[Daphne – Exactly how could a top-ranked ophthalmologist be considered inferior by anyone.]

‘if you look about you properly, you will see . . ‘ (Silvio), that although ‘83% of the Maltese regard themselves as European’, 83% of them don’t look it.

What weird company you keep. Or maybe it’s just a case of like attracting like.

Tin foil hat wearers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your grip on reality.
