We can’t possibly have black Africans sullying Maltese culture. They don’t share our values.

Lately I enjoyed watching Pino Scicluna’s “monologue” Ommi, l-Familja u l-Gwerra (?). It brought to mind the Fascist attitude towards the rule of law, the “Me ne’ frego” attitude.

This “I don’t care attitude” in the name of Joseph’s ‘national interest’ is metamorphosing into a fascist attitude right in front of our eyes.
I know that there are huge stakes involved and the drug business web stretches through all levels of Maltese society, but it is a disgrace that the problem is not well contained in such a very small place, with a population of less than half a million.
Joint funeral mass at San Duminku. Fine! Each to his own.
It’s not the particular religious choice of rite that I object to. Funerals are so much more about the living than the dead and even a stray dog would find someone to shed a tear for it, let alone a fellow human being.
No. My objections will come after the event, if I hear how the chosen priest/s paid the deceased lip service.
I cannot help but wonder what virtues the priest will praise. Will he say how the deceased, who were born in the image of Christ, like us all, really chose to live their lives? Will he have the courage to say how the deceased chose to live on the wrong side of the law and of Christ’s teachings?
Will he say that they willingly turned the other cheek and how they loved their neighbour, or will he have the courage to say that Malta is better off without them?
I ask myself if the priest, like Christ, will stand up to be counted in the face of adversity, or whether he will simply wilt in the presence of the deceased and the heirs to the family business.
When I passed this comment I understood that the funeral would happen tomorrow. I now realise that the funeral is a thing of the past.
To hell with what the priest had to say.
Can someone tell me what exactly is happening here? Seems to me that the release of the bodies was either ordered by someone who is very negligent, highly incompetent or somewhat interested in concealing evidence.
The question is who?
The problem you mention does not arise. For many years now, priests have not been permitted to praise the virtues of the deceased.
Their funeral sermons must be restricted to simple reminders of the articles of faith as they apply to our belief in the afterlife.
As for these two: I will not comment about the father, but the son didn’t have much of a chance to live a decent life.
We believe that in the eyes of God, one is judged according to what one has done within the constraints of one’s circumstances. Thus, a person who has been given every opportunity is held to be more accountable than one who didn’t know any better.
Yakuza designs.
*facepalm*
“No comment. The traffickers, the murderers, the customers – all Maltese.”
You forgot to mention that their defenders, in and out of court” are also “all Maltese”.
[Daphne – You can’t quarrel with defence counsel, but as for their supporters in other areas of life, then yes, I agree.]
Of course we can’t! Islam would annihilate our “ingrained Christian values”. Just read the comments posted on Facebook (link below) to see what many Maltese are really about. Not that any more comments of this sort should surprise or upset anyone any more.

Strange how no ‘go back to your country’ comments appear under this little news item.

The Maltese don’t have to fear the immigrants. It’s the immigrants who should fear the Maltese.
Has he forgotten to declare anything else MP honoraria? http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130721/local/Cardona-forgets-to-declare-honoraria.478811
How can these people be taken seriously?
That photo should have been taken with Emanuel Mallia. It is not complete without him included.
The forensic pathology on those two bodies was very quick. They were found on Friday afternoon and buried the next day.
During a conversation with an acquaintance, recently, I made a remark on how fast criminality, in Malta, seems to be increasing, to which the person replied ” mhux bilfors, jekk imtlejna bl-immigranti illegali?”.
When I replied that according to the media the majority of crimes are committed by Maltese, all I got was a blank stare.
People seem to get brainwashed to the point of ignoring everything else, completely.
Amazing.
Maltese migrants are now even ruining the careers of world class athletes. Read till the very end.

These people are the scum of the earth that is for sure but thankfully they do not even represent a fraction of the Maltese.
[Daphne – Oh how wrong you are. Why do you think they’re all killing each other? Because business is booming and they’re fighting over it. Maltese cocaine traffickers and dealers operating in Malta are made possible by Maltese demand. So yes, they do represent more than a fraction of Maltese people, and literally so.]
The problem with illegal immigration is the sheer amount that are coming here undocumented. We do not know their history.
[Daphne – Well, one thing you can count on is that nobody fleeing from Somalia or Eritrea is a cocaine-trafficker. You can’t say the same of Maltese cocaine-dealers with freedom of movement right across Europe. Get a sense of perspective. It helps.]
New diseases that have been eradicated in Europe for decades have also reared their ugly heads in recent years and this is no coincidence.
[Daphne – It was actually the breakdown in healthcare in the former Soviet Union, post 1990, that led to the reappearance of some nasty diseases that had been wiped out in Europe, Chris. One of them was, notably, syphilis. And the killer influenzas that have spread into Europe over the past couple of decades originated in eastern Asia and came here perfectly legally, via trade and tourism. It’s actually the other way round: incoming Africans have little protection against illnesses Europeans consider routine. And let’s not forget that whole populations were wiped out, in the New World during teh Age of Discovery, by Europeans diseases as simple as the common cold or basic flu.]
Such a huge amount of people are a strain on our economy, our security and our health service.
[Daphne – There are 5,000 Africans in Malta. And many of them are working. How you can possibly consider this a strain on all that is beyond me. Clearly, you have no problem with the fact that the majority of Maltese women of working age are not economically productive at all yet still reap all the benefits in terms of free healthcare, free education for their children, free this and free that. I suggest you complain and worry about that instead, because that is the true burden on everyone else and on the economy, which is why ‘low participation of women in the workforce’ and not ‘African immigrants’ are mentioned repeatedly as an obstacle to development, in economic reports about Malta.]
They could be from Somalia, Nigeria, The Congo, Russia, India, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Romania or wherever. Skin colour has absolutely nothing to do with it.
We simply cannot afford them and this there is no denying.
[Daphne – Ref my last remark above.]
I agree that if they are in danger we rescue them, give them supplies (food, water, fuel etc) and if they need medical treatment this is given to them. They should never be left to die, but that is as far as should go.
[Daphne – That is illegal. I imagine that to be no problem for you. Will you be going to Norman Lowell’s birthday party at Ray’s Lido?]
We hear a lot of stories on the local news about immigrants wanting to continue their journey and being allowed to do so, so I cannot see how giving them what they need in order to do so (fuel, food, medical, repairs) would be illegal. Of course I could be totally wrong and stand to be corrected.
[Daphne – Did you hear my loud sigh of patience? BECAUSE WE ARE PART OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND NOT EXTERNAL TO IT. We cannot give migrating non-EU citizens ‘food, water and petrol’ and point the way to Italy, no more than they can put hundreds of non-EU immigrants onto a flotilla of boats and point them in the direction of Malta. ]
I shall not be going to Norman Lowell’s party as it is not my thing. But I am very much considering giving him my number 1 vote if he contests the upcoming MEP elections. David Casa and Roberta M T T will not be getting my vote.
[Daphne – I can’t imagine why you expect people to take you seriously when you plan on giving your vote to a drunken nutcase. Note that I have not mentioned his political views.]
And believe me when I tell you that I have voted PN in every election (General & MEP) ever since I was 18 (1998). The only time I ever voted ‘against’ the PN (as it became partisian) was in the divorce issue for which i voted in favour.
[Daphne – Surely you do not expect the Nationalist Party to embrace Norman Lowell’s values so that you will carry on voting for it. It would earn your vote and tens of thousands of others would flood out.]
