As far as I know, Lidl has not issued a statement but only responded to my Facebook comment by posting a short reply on their page.

This was in no way satisfactory as they simply said they were carrying out intervews but did not confirm or deny whether they had received a list of names from the Ministry for Gozo. They did not say whether the persons on this list would be held in special consideration of treated like other applicants.

Do not speak too loudly, you will wake the Opposition up from its deep slumber

The art of sublime German understatement, or an accidental masterpiece?

“Equal opportunities employer”

Read: We’re not just hiring Laburisti.

The Lidl management has to assure us that they have shredded the list that the Minister for Gozo has already sent them.

evelyn, the only more desperate than average people in Gozo are those whose aspirations of a job with Anton Refalo have been dashed.

He sent some 50 of his most loyal and brainless followers to an MCAST maritime course, which they all passed with flying colours, obviously.

His plan to instate them into Gozo Channel has so far failed. He had also planed to employ many more at the General Hospital and Education Department, but these were unceremoniously chopped out of his portfolio, leaving many of his followers lining up outside his house at 5am insisting that he not forget them or they will defect to Franco Mercieca.. ‘Ferst kum ferst serf’

Sorry, evelyn, imma kemm int stupida. Is-sitwazzjoni tax-xoghol hija disperata ghal kullhadd. Jekk ma tafx, id-dinja occidentali tinsab f’nofs l-aghar krizi ekonomika ta’ zminijietna.

Imma xi whud minna ma kellhomx ministri korrotti jxahhmu lil kumpaniji privati biex ihaddmuna. Ghax ma jdahhalhomx jahdmu “mal-gvern” dalbravu ministru, u jhallashom mit-taxxi tieghek? Eh, hija, imma ma jistax, ghax hemm l-EU b’ghajnejn ta’ seqer tara li ma naqbzux 3% ta’ deficit fil-budget.

U imnalla.

Allahares ma konniex fl-EU.

To the switchers who are not billboard boys and girls and therefore not getting any iced buns or gateaus – Enjoy!

Take it or leave Gozo, they will leave anyway if forced to take the usuall rifraf that politicians of the Labour type are surrounded with.
