And where do you publish those words? The papers won&#039;t publish anything containing the slightest criticism of anything. 

Note too that I said violent protest, not violence. You suffragettes got your way, didn&#039;t you? And that government was not illegitimate.

By the way, legitimacy is a moral yardstick. It&#039;s got nothing to do with electoral majorities. 

Or you lot wouldn&#039;t be urging action against Putin, Golden Dawn, Irish Loyalists and others.  Funny how no one urges action against the largest dictatorship in the world - China. Manduca, Putin loves you. Xi Jinping doesn&#039;t.]]></description>

They aren&#039;t going to build more social housing. They&#039;re going to buy up the rubbish stock that won&#039;t sell on the open market to pay back their developer friends.]]></description>

At this stage violence may be newsworthy but it is not the answer. Some words can hurt more than a punch.

As bad as it may be, this government is not illegitimate. I may not have chosen it myself but it was voted in by the majority. 

Nevertheless it is there to represent the people, and the people must let the government know that they do not accept this behaviour. Just because they have/had a large majority, they cannot do whatever they please and we should make sure we say so.

An egg might drive home the message. Will you be the first to throw it?]]></description>

A petition will change nothing. We need violent protests, like our fellow Europeans. I mean eggs thrown at the prime minister, barricades, takeover of public buildings, student sit-ins, that sort of thing. But the Maltese haven&#039;t the stomach for it.

And before anyone mentions Tal-Barrani, that was police violence against a largely passive crowd. 

I want the reverse. I want mass arrests. I want Police Headquarters overflowing with arrested protesters. 

I want magistrates summoned at four o&#039;clock in the morning for mass sentencing. 

I want Joseph Muscat and Manuel Mallia giving a news conference every single day on the deteriorating security situation. 

I want a crackdown on social networks. I want tear gas. I want to push the envelope and take our government out of its comfort zone of an election every five years. 

This is an illegitimate government. It has co-opted China into power in Malta. It is a traitor to its own people.]]></description>
