Does the prime minister want his daughters to work in manufacturing, or does he think it’s not good enough for them, but good enough for other people’s children?

That which isn’t good enough for Soleil and Etoile should not be considered good enough for the children of those who voted him in.

“My children will not work in manufacturing, but dammit, your children should and there’s no reason why they should get themselves any airs and graces and aim higher. My children are special, like me.”

Basically, that’s what the prime minister is saying here.

He said he is going to create a new middle-class. It looks like he’s determined to create a new working-class, too.

    Spot on – exactly what I was thinking. It was the same with Mintoff. He sent his daughters to school and university in England, while wrecking the education system in Malta.

    That’s socialism for you.

    Exactly right, Daphne. That is just what I thought when I read this article.

    If he truly believes in this he should send his own daughters to some factory when they turn 16. Isn’t leading by example his motto? Then he should just do that.

    And why didn’t any “journalist” put that question to him!

    To take up jobs in manufacturing, the young must find them first.

    Has anyone heard of any investment (preferably foreign) in industry coming our way during the last five months?

      Not only that but many manufacturing companies are moving to greener pastures. I know because I was made redundant. The plant is moving to Hungary.

    Don’t worry about it.

    If he’d just visited a fire station, he would tell the kids to be firemen. If he’d visited a brothel: hookers. A crack den: dealers.

    I bet daddy will set up a handbag factory for them to work in.
