What is a “logical” fallacy?

There is no simplistic solution to the immigration problem. There never was, and will never be. If Muscat knows this, then he would do well to say so.

If he doesn’t, then God help us.

In reply to Alexander Ball. No Mr.Ball, DCG blog has opened up many minds indeed and should continue to do so. That is what a decent blog is all about. Keep at it Daphne.

Joseph Muscat is such a hypocrite when he mentions our contribution to the financial crisis. He forgot that he screamed his lungs out in protest that Malta is paying out too much. He found a European budget contribution to Malta of 1.2 billion. He never mentions it.

Joseph Muscat is threatening Europe with lack of cooperation on future bailouts because he is not in need of the EU when it comes to bailing out Malta.

Like he did with bailing out Enemalta from bankruptcy because of his plans to reduce the electricity tariffs, he will go to the government of China. Besides, China’s Exim Bank is full of cash, which it regularly loans to resource-rich African countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Angola and Sudan.

And to make things easier, Joseph Muscat recruited Shiv Nair – an individual who is permanently debarred by the World Bank for fraud and corruption since 1999/2000 – as his consultant. Besides being China’s ‘secret weapon in Africa’ (The Economist), Nair himself claims (LinkedIn account) that he has specialised in working with the China Africa Development Fund and the Chinese Exim Bank.

As a last resort, if worst comes to worst, Muscat will increase Henley & Partners’ commission so that they can sell more Maltese passports – and less passports of St. Kitts, Grenada, and Nevis – to finance his bailout.

If the bailout concerns the Euro, then he has less to worry about. Edward Sigg Luna, the Professor of Mintoffianomics, has already been quoted saying that he will give his all to strengthen the Renminbi. At that point, Joseph Muscat will be glad to see the Euro crash, while the Renminbi soars.

In reply to Alexander Ball. But hopefully some of those switchers get the message.

Your argumentation is flawless, and Joseph Muscat knows that, but the average Maltese elector would not realize it (if that weren’t the case, a MLP recycled from the 80s wouldn’t have won with such a majority despite all the “funding”). And because Joseph Muscat knows that, he speaks precisely in that way.

Muscat sounds like somebody with a fifth-rate brain, from the backwoods of God knows where because that is what he is.

You are wasting your time.

Those who get it have no need to read it.

And those who don’t get it won’t understand it anyway.
