Nigel Farage has my utmost respect for speaking the truth, though rather bombastically at times.

And in true “think positive” fashion, Cyrus Engerer has put pictures of a village festa on his Facebook wall, completely ignoring the obviously negative statements made by his leader, who he has repeatedly said better reflects his opinions and views.

Nice going Cyrus! Human rights for all!

When the country is a priority, its citizens come last.

What we see in Malta is really a drop in the ocean and the world, though large, is really a very small place. What makes one person more special than another?

The fearful thinking behind this issue is not dissimilar to the votes earned by PL on the basis of ‘meritocracy.’ If people were more confident about their own reasoning, resources, abilities and had altogether a more sound and ethical reasoning base, they would get beyond their fears. We wouldn’t have to be discussing such issues.

I am not fearful about the ‘invasion of immigrants’ but I do fear for the worst with the onslaught of stupidity, twisted truths and lies of government and those linked to it that has us snared, at least for five years.

Democracy works both ways.

Harry, my point precisely is that there are no ‘us’ or ‘them’. There are people with different skin colour. Just as there are males and females, or tall or short. Skin colour is just another feature.

The national Interest is a right wing concept and there is absolutely nothing wrong in a right wing concept. It was the right wing concept under Margaret thatcher that gave the UK its identity back after the scourge of years of socialism and public handouts in the seventies and when it was on the verge of collapse. The UK at the time was even under scrutiny from the IMF and was paying exorbitant interest rates to attract foreign capital which is where many Maltese accumulated vast wealth.

It is your fear of the right wing concept that amazes me. This concept has always been adopted when everything else seems to fail. It invariably seems to be the solution to economic and social discipline when other systems collapse and has always been throughout history. the austerity measures adopted in bankrupt European states are a purely right wing concept Daphne but that seems to be the only viable solution.

[Daphne – In economics and finance, Lorna, yes, but certainly not in social control. And in any case, what you are talking about is not ‘right wing’ economic policy, but liberal economic policy, which is different. You favour the right wing in social control. I do not. At all.]

the right wing had been taken to extremes but then, all political concepts have done so. If Hitler and Mussolini took the far right to war, so did the communists and the Imperialists throughout the passage of history who raped and plundered other inferior dominions. I’m afraid I have to disagree with you here. The right wing concept is, in fact the ONLY national interest in which the citizens of that country come first and the country is a priority rather than a communist movement nowadays disguised as liberal.

[Daphne – Again, you are not speaking of the right or the left, but of totalitarianism.]

Thanks Daphne, you compliments are always appreciated
