No it won’t. This will show everyone that Malta is a safe place for tourists and with trouble brewing yet again in Egypt, it is excellent that Malta is shown all over Europe. After all, didn’t our beloved PM once say that we should embark on a huge marketing strategy when trouble started in Africa. Maybe this is his way of doing so.
I still can’t fathom the logic behind Muscat’s cage-rattling metaphor. Whose cage, exactly? And is he inside the cage, or outside it? I give up.
And with this excruciatingly painful coverage of Malta in the international press, is this how Joseph Muscat meant to ‘rattle the cage’ on immigration, however incorrect his chosen metaphor?
The last time I felt this embarrassed about being Maltese was when we still had that green coloured passport – prickly pears, sunshine, boat and all. It just has to be a Labour leader to do this. Bravo.
Kemm kellek ragun Dr. Gonzi tghidilna fil-mass meeting ta’ Haz-Zabbar li il-Mlatin dejjem ihossuhom kburin taht gvern Nazzjonalista u li gvern Laburista dejjem gghelna nisthu.
Joseph Muscat mhux kapaci jmexxi. Dahhalna gass down gol-hajt f’inqas minn sitt xhur. Warrab mill-kcina Guz ghax ma tiflahx ghas-shana.
One of the Golden Years boys stated proudly some time ago that in Mintoff’s time all the world had heard about Malta. That this was for all the wrong reasons escaped him. With Labour in Government we again see the world talking about Malta. And yet again it’s for all the wrong reasons. They never learn.
With all this (bad) publicity I’m pretty sure all left-leaning Europeans are perplexed by the social(ist)-democratic credentials of the (M)LP.
They will surely burst out laughing were they to learn that this government was elected on the ‘liberal-modern-progressive’ party ticket!
Being so close to Italy and with his super majority in Parliament, Europeans in particular might think we’re a nation of extreme-right Bossi-Lega Nord followers.
Muscat has only been 4 months in the hot seat and this action and behaviour will come to haunt him in the years to come, especially when Malta will preside the European Parliament in 2017.
As you rightly said, Daphne (or rather quoted from the Bible): “THOSE WHO SOW THE WIND WILL REAP A WHIRLWIND.”
Labour was never fit to govern Malta. Only a few months on and already there is a feeling of deja vu reminiscent of the those bloody socialist Mintoff days.
Are you aiding and abetting your Timesomalta.com cronies by suppressing and censoring comments? Birds of a dubious feather flock together. What’s wrong with uploading my comment …. after all I do not have the rational and mental ability to write – so your wrote. Are we mentally retarded not allowed to have our say? Let’s face it DCG, you are sinking and going down fast. Do you want me to have a word with Joseph and perhaps you can be repatriated like Lou Bondi – your fellow lackey and now turncoat? I am willing to bail you out.
This will probably also affect our tourism industry negatively.

We’re on the world map for the wrong reasons.
If you were planning a holiday, would you choose Malta where the trump card was always our hospitality?
L-Orizzont mhux hemm?
Just fucking wonderful.
Meta kellna gvern Nazzjonalista dejjem konna nhossuna kburin li ahna Maltin.
Issa qed inhossni nisthi. Gvern Laburista qed iwaqqalna wiccna l-art. Fejnha dik li ghajret lil Dr Gonzi shame on you?
Muscat must be jerking off seeing himself mentioned all over Europe and beyond.
He was on Al Jazeera. The journalist cornered him, asking whether it was all bluff.
He stammered something about keeping options open.
He also said he’s fed up of receiving telephone calls at night.
Yes, he actually said that, our prime minister wants a regular 9 to 5.
Nice one Joseph, tell the planet you’re not really up to it.
Pajjiż tad-dilettanti, prim ministru dilettant jixraqlu.
This is “school nerd turned Prime Minister” politics. Or “outside the bedroom I’m a real man” politics.
I accept that my country’s PM is a buffoon.
However it still hurts when foreign media use terms like “altola’ ” and “tirare le orecchie” when referring to him.
I am still proud to be Maltese.
Is it possible that not one person in Cabinet can guide him and reign in his erratic behavior especially on the international stage ?
Louis Grech, I know you are no genius, but I am sure you know better than this.
For Malta’s sake please help and advise our PM.
You are, after all, his deputy.
Do you really expect Muscat to take advice from anybody?
oops rein NOT reign
X’misthija…kif hammrilna wiccna ma’ kulhadd.
Qed juza’ l-istess atitudni li kien juza’ Mintoff…..’jew nilghab inkella nhassar’. Il-vera arroganti.
