We use the euro; a global currency. Why would we want to boost its competition?

In reply to Joseph Caruana. And no one yet knows the full effects of the gender imbalance which has been the result of that policy.

In reply to International mother Fers. I'm not a militarist. You must be very thick not to know the meaning of militarism.

In reply to International mother Fers.

A militarist is a militarist.

My god, you still read The Times of Malta? Don’t tell me you actually pay to get off on drivel too?

Oh well, at least I don’t sound like your other pet hate, that geezer Tyrrell.

In reply to ciccio.

Baxxter, your comment reminds me of what Scicluna had said after attending one of those intensive meetings for Finance Ministers in Brussels:

“Prof. Scicluna said: “If one had any doubts about the indignity suffered by indebted countries forced to seek a bailout, one should have been present for the night long meeting in Brussels.”” – The Times

His government is bailing out Malta with passport sales and the sale of the family silver to the Chinese but is showing no signs of indignity.

In reply to International mother Fers. I've written against intervention in Syria when you and everyone else were penning heart-rending drivel on The Times, so no, I won't follow your advice. You sound very much like our Kevin Ellul Bonici, by the way.

In reply to JL.

JL, I suggest you read the article in The Guardian to get an idea of what Osborne is thought of.

What is this mentality that if someone else has done it, it’s ok?

In reply to International mother Fers.

Of course you would, but that’s no reason not to speak the truth when it’s glaringly obvious.

If you’d prefer to be a pauper, I can help you with that, as the resident militarist maybe you should donate your savings to the Al-Qaeda Syrian liberation movement. I’m sure the local U.S embassy will oblige.
