Like everything about Joseph Muscat and the PL, that was just part of the orchestrated sales pitch in the vote-gathering scam.

Claude, one helps persons in need simply because it is the right thing to do.

Hard work? Possibly, but that brings its own reward.

And that is something to which personnel engaged in migrant rescue operations will attest.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

I was thinking then that Malta would have been a better place to make the point. I was obviously wrong. Years of hard work down the drain.

Before the general elections J.M. said that Malta is “taghna lkoll”, after he won the elections Malta is ‘Tal-Laburisti u ta’ min ta daqqa t’id lill-PL biss’.

Before: “We have a road map”.
After: They are still running around in circles looking for the starting point.

Before: Black people on billboards and in the igloos.
After: Push-back policy.

The list of saying something before the elections and doing just the opposite after goes on and on and on.
