Mais si vous n’êtes pas sportif, vous pouvez voter socialiste pour obtenir exactement le même effet…

We are dealing with a grown-up spoilt brat who has too much power for our good.

We’re living in a country full of foolish people who can’t see beyond the tip of their nose. And worst of all are the switchers, who mostly should and could have recognised what was to come, but were blinded by personal gain or even plain spite.

Could it have been Yana Mintoff?

Not quite off the cuff, then – he read the text off a teleprompter. Again.

Well said. And risk managers, venture capitalists, business angels, investors, Interpol, Scotland Yard, OLAF, Guardia di Finanza, EU Commission…..

https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=10151689311887358&set=vb.331002843034&type=2&theater

Some highlights:

“I am proud here to note Malta’s long standing history of solidarity with other nations all over the world…”

“Our accession to the EU took this solidarity a step further…”

“We are proud – we are proud to form part of the EU which is the world’s largest donor of development aid.”
(He actually paused and read “we are proud” twice – maybe he reversed the teleprompter to check the verb? He probably expected to find “we regret.”)

What sheer hypocrisy considering how he worked relentlessly to keep Malta out of the EU in his best years, and how he threatened to push back asylum seekers.
