Sayings, proverbs, and national mottos are the true expression of a people’s psyche. In contrast, stupidities like “Ut fructificemus Deo”, “Domine dirige nos”, “Repubblika ta’ Malta”, “bla bizà jew pregudizzju”, or indeed, “xoghol, gustizzja, libertà”, were all artificial impositions.

Sparky, imma ma jaqblilhomx iqumu hux?

Ghax jekk jikkwotaw lil Daphne, johorgu ta’ mazetta huma.

Jispiccaw jiddikjaraw li kull m’huma hu reporters – pappagalli bazikament. Wara dawk is-snin kollha universita u ma tghallmu xejn, hadd mhu se jirrelega lilu nnifsu ghal 2nd division.

L-aqwa li jirrapportaw li sehh incident ‘l hemm u ‘l hawn, u splodiet dik u l-ohra, u nqabad dak u l-iehor. Kollox post-event, xejn investigazzjoni.

Nixtri gazzetta ha naqra l-ahbarjiet tal-bierah. Ara x’jinteressani! Naqra live x’qed jigri issa rrid jien u lil xi hadd bhal Daphne li ttina izjed minn insight personali.

Il-mentalita miskina ta’ poplu Gahan. L-aqwa li nofs il-poplu ma jahmilx lil Daphne minghajr ma jindunaw li qed taghti servizz lilhom ukoll. Imma dik imhallsa mill-PN, hekk qalulhom. Hallihom ha jpaqpqu.

Issa jpaqpqilhom xi wiehed kbir Joseph u tghidx kemm ixejjruh il-maktur.

They could well be mates. They share the same postcode, the same address, and possibly the grounds and carpark.

They’re bound to have bumped into eachother at some point.

http://www.independent.com.mt/mobile/2010-05-14/news/joseph-muscats-proposals-to-fight-corruption-274457/

Point number 9:

“9. Those who are blacklisted because of corruption by international organisations such as the World Bank, the EU or the Bank for European Investment will be automatically disqualified from bidding for government contracts.”

I hope that Muscat does not interpret this as meaning that those who are blacklisted will be given direct contracts instead.

I am printing this list and will be glueing it to the fridge. Will need to refer to it more often when assessing this government against its promises.
