I would not be so defeatist. Remember that as the saying goes,” emplty vessels make most sound”.

The majority of the population is racist and have little or no compassion at all for these people.

Fifth, self interest. The suspension of human rights will not necessarily be limited to migrants and, in the near future, it might be our rights which are violated with impunity. A gradual erosion of something often goes unnoticed until it is too late to find a remedy.

“john mizzi

Thank God he didn’t have Libya on his hands like Lawrence Gonzi did. Approximately 4 years 7 months left of these stupid, ignorant and socially/morally inept people.

Hope I’ll still be proud to be Maltese by the time they’ve finished with Malta.

It seems so was Carmelo Abela.

Malta was disgusting yesterday. Becera, ignorante e cafona.

Resorting to the Courts (being on the correct side of the law) is shameful, according to this rag of a newspaper.
