Comments on: Oh dear, how very hysterical. Is your country surviving, darlings, because it looks to me that it is.

This country is not willing to accept any sort of migrants be they on boats in our SAR area or birds which happen to pass over these barren islands.

In reply to Antoine Vella. So let's jolly well crucify him then as we did with Norman Lowell. Or are politicians above the law?

This goes beyond hyperbole and melodrama. Joseph Muscat is now repeating what Norman Lowell has been saying for years.

If immigrants are threatening the very survival of Malta, racists will feel justified in fearing and hating them. Muscat’s words verge on the illegal: they provide the perfect excuse for racism.

Ah Daphne the irony of it all, now the capos are going to open a sort of job centre in Marsa so prospective employers can pick up the workers they need more comfortably, you know…

Did you hear his interview that was aired on the radio on Friday. Unfortunately I can’t find the link, but it was utterly ridiculous.

In reply to Ta'Sapienza. All this sabre ratting and posturing is a prelude to the MEP elections in March next year. The battleground is going to be "illegal"emigration and Muscat is going to go all out to show the rednecks how tiny Malta and its prime minister can fight the might of the EU.

“Somebody should explain carefully to Muscat that hyperbole is effective in campaign/propaganda situations where people are poorly educated, unsophisticated and highly excitable. It does not work in diplomacy and negotiations”

VERY WISE WORDS!
