I think you are giving these nameless EU bureaucrats in Brussels too much credit.

They certainly do not have the interest of the Maltese people at heart or any other people because that is not how bureaucracies work.

The nearest comparison to the new EU red-tape makers was the old Soviet Politburo and these all quickly debase themselves to: always appear to follow orders, don’t rock the boat, and most important: always cover your ass.

Big Corporations run on a similar principal in the west and to a lesser extent in Japan.

In time the old adage of the emperor has no clothes will eventually come to light and the whole mess will collapse on to itself.

If Malta did not have rinky-dink politicians you would clearly see this as it is only a matter of perspective and comparison subjectiveness for want of quality and honest leadership which was last seen with Dr. Giorgio Borg Olivier in Malta.

That quality or genuine-ness never appeared again unfortunately, and now it seems quaint and from a vastly different long ago era.

The EU bit is a tired old argument.

To start with, the EU is not some Abstract Entity that issues orders. It is a union of members states. Malta is a member state. It can and should work – if it sees fit – to shape EU policy in its interest.

Secondly, you have just written a greater truth than anything else – that political parties in Malta cannot be trusted.

It follows that it is far better to “rubber stamp” policy made by the 28 EU nations, by men and women with a trifle more honesty, integrity and intelligence than our sorry specimens, than to be free of the obligations of EU membership and mess up our own lives and country. You had to leave because of that vile despot Mintoff. Believe me, if it weren’t for the EU, whose fetters we’re forever trying to be rid of, many more Mintoffs would flourished. The only thing that’s keeping Joseph Muscat from following in his hero’s path – and you correctly identified what is happening as “criminal” – is precisely EU membership. That’s why I voted for it. Because I don’t trust Maltese politicians.

I’d rather be governed by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels than pompous asses in Valletta.

I don’t live in Malta although I was planning to fly over for the election. I come from a die-hard Nationalist family.

We ended up leaving Malta precisely because of Mintoff’s first government in the 1950s.

I never made it to Malta as I had family obligations to attend to in Texas (my wife is American) and then business to take care of as my sons are swamped with work in the family firm.

What is happening to tiny Malta is criminal and I would not trust any political party on the island. They are all rubber stampers of EU policy now that is all they are.

So you voted Labour to hasten the arrival of the Day of Wrath? You people never cease to amaze me.

Labour has been sold and bought just like the Nationalists.
They are all in on it.

Strings are pulled from the EU and their Jesuit backers.

The reality is that nationalism has to be destroyed and chaos and division is the way to do it, it is the plan of the near future.

The EU can stop illegal migration in a heartbeat if it wants to but it does not want to as it serves a purpose to the new world order.

Study ‘Practical Idealism’ by Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and you will understand exactly what this social engineering project that no one voted for is all about and also why things are happening as they are. Nothing happens by chance in this world.

[Daphne – That was another pope, David. A German one, raised in the Hitler Youth. And you make the fundamental mistake of assuming that sub-Saharan Africans are all Muslim. They are not. Many of them are Christian or neither thing. In any case, who cares what they are? I’m not technically a Roman Catholic myself, but being surrounded by them doesn’t bother me in the least.]

His populist whining and growling may go down well with the more extreme xenophobic elements in Malta but the sane – the genuinely moderate and progressive – part of the Maltese population find his tone unacceptable.

So I, for one, want to make this very clear: JOSEPH MUSCAT IS NOT SPEAKING IN MY NAME.
