A number of the immigrants are Christians fleeing prejudice because of their religion only to arrive in Malta to find themselves facing racism.

They are Christians of superstition and folklore. They wouldn’t know the gospel if it hit them on the head.

For those young people who did not believe that all this, you have all the proof.

North Koreans singing “Ma taghmlu xejn mal-Perit Mintoff” and “L-innu tal-Partit Laburista”.

Thank you, Andre.

I don’t see this as a useful side to pro-immigration. I am just stating it as fact. Some go on to open restaurants. There is a particularly good Eritrean restaurant in Malta – although I haven’t been there myself, people say it s great.

My point is that these difficult jobs which are now being done by immigrants used to be done by Maltese people, who were often treated by certain sections of society the very same way they are now treating the immigrants.

So much for Labourites being all for the underdogs and poor of society.

It amazes me how some people can believe in a cause so much that they blindly vote for the wrong people (despite the fact that those people never deliver on their promise), and then when they are in a position to be the type of person they would approve of, they become the very same bastards they initially hated.

How is it that cries for help from the government to be nicer to the poor (something I believe the government did a lot for) and cries against the oppression of the richer people of the country suddenly turn into hatred and disgust at those who know real hardship, and whose experience of poverty was much more intense than ” I have to eat pizza more often than usual because I can’t afford meat”.

I find their reaction a form of gratuitous arrogance. They enjoy being in a superior position and love doing what they like with it, as usual.

He tied this Sunday’s gospel to what Pope Francis said during this week’s visit to Lampedusa, a small island like Malta and just as beleaguered by irregular immigration, and to events in Malta regarding the wave of immigrant arrivals.

He empasised that we should all stop and ponder on Christ’s gospel and the humane act of the Samaritan.

Who are we? The priest or the Levite who looked and kept going or the Samaritan who took pity of the man?

Well done, Fr Albert – you sure stood up to to be counted ….. the right way.
