The devil is in the detail, as they say

There’s a whacking great parliament building and an open theatre there now, two buildings which dominated the news, but the anti-African-immigrant group organising their demo for 4 August have given the meeting-point as ‘quddiem Burger King’.

That is their point of reference. The Renzo Piano building across the street just doesn’t figure. Nor does the fact that it’s parliament house.

    The ‘pimps, thieves and scoundreels’ will have been heartened and strengthened by Little Joey’s overt support for their racist and fascist tendencies.

    Fascist and racist have no right to be on the streets of Malta because what they are advocating is illegal.

    This is a great opportunity for the PN.

    They should call a counter demonstration – one in favour of human rights and dignity – on the same date and at the same time.

    Let us see where the Maltese people stand on this subject – with the xenophobes, or with human rights.

    Should be a good opportunity for the Maltese to express their anger about the heartless Labour government – “Gvern bla-qalb.”

      It is not the job of political parties to hold demonstrations.

      Demonstrations are for those who cannot otherwise make their voice heard, because they have no platform within the democratic institutions. i.e. you and me, Ciccio.

      But the PN is a political party. With a seats in parliament to boot. They seem not to understand this. What else are parliamentary debates for, if not to lambast your government for violating human rights? But then you’d need articulate MPs who can make passionate speeches and here, alas, we run into the usual Maltese dearth of skills.

      I think I shall start a lucrative business selling ready-made speeches online.

    From the Times quoting Dr Muscat “‘Not an ounce’ of support for anti immigration protest”.

    Thank God for that. Amen.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      Thank his PR department for that. What did we say about Muscat during the election campaign? That he’s all things to all men?

      Everything to everyone?

      There. Fascist Mintoffian one minute, sanctimonious upholder of human rights the next.

    • Rumplestiltskin says:

      Poor racists! They thought Joseph Muscat was supporting them, while all the time he was practising his British sense of humour.

    Burger King , this could be the code word for somebody who pretends to be king but looks like a burger.
