Comments on: Where’s the bit where they say they want to live in a Malta without black people, African immigrants and Muslims, but that they’re fine with pig-ignorant Maltese savages who try to lynch others?

Tourists are passengers in transit paying for their board and lodging.

As far as the EU is concerned the refugees are here for an indefinite stay.

They are destitute with Malta begging for donations to supply them with free board, lodging and amenities to a standard imposed by the UNHCR and which most of them did not enjoy in their country of origin.

NIMBY is the name of the game according to the big guys of the EU.

In reply to Pat. Lampedusa is only a small island forming part of a much bigger Italian state where the refugees naturally overflow. The same does not apply to Malta.

I suppose, we have to admit that the Maltese are racists.

Just over 6 weeks ago, on Friday 31st May, thousands of Maltese donated money live on Xarabank, in a special edition of the programme aimed at raising funds for the Mission Fund projects in Tanzania.

Although many dislike the ‘ajma jahasra’ video clips that are used in such programmes, they clearly work, and the phones never stopped ringing, resulting in an impressive haul of nearly half a million euro in under 3 hours.

I’m sure that the huge group of Maltese who donated that day and the huge group that is now spewing racist hatred are not mutually exclusive.

It is unfortunately an all-too-common hypocritical scenario here on the island – we satisfy our brainwashed conscience by picking up the phone and giving an invisible 10 euro at arm’s length, but we are comforted by the TV screen between us and the problem, and start to panic if it comes knocking at our door.

Why daft Socrates? The point is that we are making a big fuss that we don’t have space to host the asylum seekers, but we make no fuss with all the tourists that come over.

We also have a much bigger number of foreigners and expats living in Malta.

The argument that we have no space does not hold – the true reason is that we only want people to come here who can fill our pockets. We would not have a problem if we get planeloads of Russian billionaires, would we?

Not to be misinterpreted – I don’t consider myself part of this ‘we’ – although I acknowledge that I am in the minority.

If as Betty says there are 6,000 in Malta at the moment, (and I suspect this figure is higher than the true figure), then this makes it 1.4% of our population. Worrying? Perhaps ……but hardly an invasion!

By 2011Lampedusa had received 48,000 when the population is barely 5,000. In other words that island had received almost 10 times their whole population!

In reply to Betty. If I am not mistaken the travelling document you mention that is given to the illegal immigrants is only valid for travel in Europe and only valid for short stays subject to conditions. I may be mistaken though I am pretty sure that they are only valid for EU travel.
