Joseph’s hysterical reaction to these immigrant landings is fanning the flames of racism and xenophobia.
He is incapable of realising that with his words and actions he is causing untold harm to our tourism industry, to direct foreign investment and above all he is creating uncertainty for the business community which it truly does not need.
But then again many of us foretold what was to happen if this bunch get to govern. Here it is. We are getting what some of us saw but others simply did not want to see.
How very, very terrible. Makes one want to cry.

Lejber Malta – how wonderful.
Malta – how wonderful.
Has this woman been arrested? This was assault.
Strife, chaos and anger, just what the New World Order doctor ordered for wrecking homogenous cultures in Europe.
It will only get worse.
Division and conflict. That’s what the open borders policy is about. Not just a multiracial society, but multicultural, too, so as to ensure strife… They call it ‘diversity’ so as not to awaken the blissful pollyannas of this world.
Ahleb, Guz! Kollox ta’ taht fuq u minghalihom li t-tmun f’idejhom!
That kind of behaviour was commonplace already. Malta didn’t need open borders to make it happen.
La Redoute, I should advice you not to comment when you haven’t a clue of what we’re talking about. And you cannot have a clue when your perspective is 17 miles by 9 across.
[Daphne – Advise, Kevin. Advice is the noun.]
If anything this video shows that we are both equally uncivilized (but that’s not surprising coming from a rock South of Tunisia).
Min jizra’ r-rih jahsad ir-riefnu.
PS. I meant that literally.
Majoritism | Paving the way for idiocity.
The Big Chin sure knows how to brainwash idiots like these. Why are they considered Maltese like I am?
this is a bad and sorry story
That;s what ‘globalization of indifference’ means!
Either all the other passengers were dumb struck, or they all agreed with that savage’s version of hospitality.
How disgusting!
This Maltese lady looks like an Aryan and a Christian and sounds like she belongs to High Society
This Maltese woman comes from a class of society who are most affected by these illegal immigrants. Imported (VERY) cheap labour, resulting in unemployment to Maltese manual workers.
[Daphne – You are wrong, Paul. She comes from a class of society in which – to be fair, like all other classes of society in Malta – women take it for granted that they shouldn’t have to be economically productive, and so they aren’t.]
She seems like a woman who is not economically productive, walking round with entitlement all the time. But there are other of the same social class who suffer as a result of unchecked immigration.
Sure, and how about all those of us, of all social classes, who suffer as a result of Chinese predatory pricing? Stand up and be counted? Against the old paymaster? Never.
Ma jisthux dawn in-nies minfuq li lqajnihom u ghinihom jigu joffenduk u bil-lingwa taghna. Ibatuwhom lura pajjizhom ghax hekk haqqom.
Tgħallem ikteb bil-Malti, sur Albert. Jekk tgħallmu joffenduna bil-Malti jfisser li kienu esposti għal dan it-tip ta’ lingwaġġ li, sfortunatament, sar parti mill-kultura tagħna.
I am honestly and sincerely ashamed to be Maltese. An utter disgrace. Level-headed people wake up! This is a one-way road to the gutter.
The signs are not just blatant but they are already actually happening. Shame on all those Maltese who do not strongly and sincerely condemn this attitude.
Tal-biza, missa tisthi dik il-Maltija. Ma nafx x’tahseb li hi.
Probabilment kienet wahda minn dawk li taw donazzjonijiet ghall-Missjoni waqt il-maratoni fuq it-televizjoni.
@ Mocca – My thoughts exactly, and I am sure she goes to mass every Sunday and makes sure people see her going up the aisle for holy communion.
L-ghawwi hu l-genn jghidu. Dak li dejjem hadna u se nergghu niehdu taht dan il-gvern.
Mibgheda u tajjir.
Ghandna esperjenzi bhal dawn anke bejn il-maltin stess ahseb u ara ma dawn in-nies li qed jigu mkesksin ghalihom.
Is it me … or are you too more afraid of these Maltese xenophobes than of African immigrants?
No it isn’t just you.
This is getting out of hand. Fast.
And what’s worse, for a while things had settled and calmed down a bit… It was the highest officials of our country that ignited the embers. Their followers are merely fanning the flames.
Imma kif meta l-Labour ikunu fil-gvern dejjem jaqilghu l-inkwiet ?
Multicultural harmony at its best.
This is what you get if you import poverty and misery, it does not co-exist well with the present poverty. A solution must be found. We can’t just keep accepting everyone landing on our shores without passport and visa. There is a limit and this angry woman shows it.
[Daphne – Rubbish, Paul. I have had EXACTLY the same done to me. What would be your excuse for that – that there is a limit to what people should be allowed to write? Many Maltese people are savage and uncivilised. They behave that way with others because they consider it totally normal. You can tell by the way that Maltese woman is behaving that this is exactly how she would normally have a fight – with a neighbour, ‘friend’, relative, child, spouse, whatever. It is the savage behaviour of Maltese, who take it as normal, that is the problem. If you remove that African woman from the equation, she’ll still go right ahead and attack somebody else – somebody like me, for instance, ghax hekk qalula tas-Super One.]
I still feel sorry for the immigrants, I have been to several African countries, and I would do the same as them, maybe even worse to get to Europe.
People who have never set foot on Africa, have no idea what these people have been through, we are seeing the better-off Africans on our shores, the ones left in Africa are in hell on earth, we have the ones who can afford to pay human traffickers to get them into Europe.
I agree somehow with you on this Daphne, this woman would behave the same way with others, this woman expresses her views her way, openly and blatantly.
What about the hidden repressed views of educated people from a higher social class who do not dare express their frank views on immigration fearing labeling as racist.
Unfortunately people do not seem to be afraid to be labelled as racist and some appear to wear it as a badge of pride.
Then there are those who try to justify their feelings, words and actions by saying “I am not racist but …” little realising that they might at least show some honesty and declare that they are racist. And now, with Joseph acting as an enabler, I don’t know where we’ll end.
Josette, some people are not even trying to say that they’re not racist by using the term ‘patriotic’. Now, to be fair, patriotism does have its place – which Labour has also downtrodden by mocking the dead of WWII – but not when it comes at the expense of respecting the human dignity of others.
You are absolutely right, Daphne. The behaviour of this Maltese woman is evidently ‘normal’ for her.
People who do not usually use that kind of language would definitely be unable to use it when they are so very angry.
I could not hear the other woman use vulgar and foul language … but if she did then as they say ‘two wrongs do not make a right’. Prosit to the person who took the video. It makes us aware of the pitiful situation we are in.
Mocca, it’s true that two wrongs don’t make a right.
But then, I can say that this is the kind of behaviour (aggression) that people know and understand, and sometimes, to fight fire, you’ve got to use fire. If you don’t talk back using that kind of language, you’ll be perceived as weak.
With the woman retorting in Maltese, she drove her message home – yes, I know you are insulting me, and yes, I can use that same language too.
Paul Bonnici, sometime ago there was another video on youtube with the exact same behaviour between two Maltese women, also on a bus.
Daphne is so right, many Maltese people are savage and uncivilised and they do not need any immigrants to bring out their savage and uncilvilised behaviour.
Bollocks, Paul. There are at least two more videos on youtube regarding heated arguments on Arriva and the litigants are Maltese.
Last week I saw another video displaying the same behaviour in UK. Both litigants were white.
I see no correlation between these cases except for one: Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
Are the police going to take legal action against this Maltese woman for her offensive and racist language? Without delay?
I am very sorry to say that this attitude is the order of the day in Malta, and it starts early in the morning, on the road to work.
I think there are many small groups of NGOs that help these refugees.They should all form one entity and start at once to study in depth the problems the refugees face and insist on suitable solutions with the authorities. Otherwise we are faced with a lot of individual work with no tangible results
Well, he certainly impressed the heck out of the old guard.
He did not achieve much other than international scorn but he is a legend in his own mind.
I’ll bet ‘Meeshell baked a special cake for her brave little man.

And now we have a protest being organised
The last time something like this happened in the UK the woman was arrested.
Joseph has just created the incentive to beat up blacks as mintoff did with the nationalists he need not put it in words but just give the blessing
Reminds me of how the Nationalists supporters were looked at and treated when Mintoff was elected in 1971.
That woman on the bus acted that way, because she knows she has the support of her dear Joseph
Unless I am understanding wrongly, it’s the foreign woman who started calling the Maltese woman “zibel” and “f’ … Ommok” and kept on the pressure. I have personally witnessed the arrogance of these people and there’s no way they’ll act like guests here – wanted or unwanted. Someone must teach them the basics of our culture at least, whilst they’re under custody. I don’t see eye to eye with Joseph muscat, but agree with him that something must be done and in a hurry . By all means we must assist them but after that something needs to be done.
[Daphne – Sting, wouldn’t you say that the Maltese woman on the bus was doing just that: teaching ‘them’ the basics of Maltese culture?]
What an ignorant, arrogant woman. I can’t understand what makes her (and others) think she is superior to her victim, who is only guilty of being poor and black. Racist bullying is ugly and comes from an ugly mind.
Unfortunately, scenes like this will become too common in Malta, as they are here in the UK. Just remember, you are Maltese when you are at home but just another foreigner when you go abroad.
Imagine this sort of thing happening to a Maltese on the London Underground. Do as you would be done by.
We have seen but a mere few seconds of this confrontation; we do not know what started it or how it ended. Daphne, I hope you will not start taking brief phrases from the Bible and show them out of context. The ”selected” remarks you decided to quote were all from the Maltese woman, but i could hear equally degrading remarks from the foreign woman too. Good journalism is unbiased and fair. But then I wouldn’t know anything about that.
[Daphne – Dominic, when I was subjected to the most appalling insults in the middle of a crowd at Rabat (and this is just one incident as there have been others), I didn’t respond. The behaviour of the Maltese woman is appalling. And no, I did not hear the African woman say to her ‘in your mother’s c*nt’, ‘we picked up a piece of rubbish like you’, or ‘I’ll skin you alive and then we’ll see how long you’ll be laughing’. Nor did I hear any loud aggression. So stop trying to defend that kind of behaviour because it just won’t wash.]
Daphne…not trying to defend anything or anyone…if anything, I’m strongly for human rights be they involving sexual orientation, race or creed.
As for the relevant incident here which has nothing to do with you being insulted (which I deplore as well of course) I did not hear the African (if that is her continent) say the phrases you quoted but I did hear her swear towards the Maltese woman (who was way out of order) as well as calling her zibel.
My point is that from the clip itself you cannot come to a conclusion or form an opinion other than that they both were shouting abuse at each other….admittingly one more than the other. Keep up the good work.
Muscat is inciting hatred, like Mintoff did, only this time its towards the blacks. The Germans and the Jews had been living at peace with one another before Hitler rose to power.
Imma nistghu naqghu iktar fil-baxx?! U kif hadd mill-passigieri l-ohra ma qam jipprova jaghlqilha halqha jew allinqas jikkoregiha/jaqbez ghall-immigranta? Sirna daqshekk nies passivi?
Very brave – picking a fight with an African immigrant on a bus full of other Maltese people.
What a terribly humiliating experience! I believe our Criminal Code contemplates imprisonment for a minimum period of 8 months up to 2 years for racial crimes.
Whether law enforcers are as keen as mustard to press charges in this instance is, of course, a different matter altogether. This timid stupid ignorance is obstructing our progress. Aren’t we just a friendly welcoming bunch?
Our leaders are merely market intelligence specialists. They gather polls and execute on that basis rather than shape the nation’s fabric. This country has a tragic leadership deficit.
Don’t slag off the Maltese person- it takes two to tango. We are only watching a part of the video. We have no idea what spurred this argument and what happened after. Both parties were rude and offensive.
In defence of the Maltese lady, you have to understand that for some Maltese people, it is natural to be xenophobic (I am not excusing it, merely explaining it!!) because it is only recent that they are seeing black people for first time and still maintain a very negative and old-fashioned mentality towards it. This will hopefully change as they adapt. The numbers are also increasing which frightens the nation on how this is going to be handled. With regard to the African lady, how come she can swear so fluently in Maltese?
[Daphne – Probably because she thinks it’s normal language, given that it’s more or less all she hears, and she finds that this is how people speak routinely.]
I wouldn’t have expected any better of a women like her she is only following her lejders example afterall… and for all those of you who are complaining that these people come here and take OUR jobs…. lets be honests the ones who want jobs in Malta (at least until march) could have found one but the attitude of these people who have the cheek to complain like this complete pleb on the bus would sit on their ass live on social benefits whilst the husband jirregistra u imur jahdem bla ktieb.
Shame!!
