So if we manage to acquire ten talents from this sale we can all just live lavishly in Malta taghna lkoll.But then poor Manuel would have a problem counting them.

Nistaqsi, id-dipartimenti tat-taxxa ser ikollhom poter fuq dawn iċ-ċittadini li ser jixtru l-passaport Malti? Jekk le, allura l-Maltin veri, ser ikunu meqjusa tat-tieni klassi u dawn li ser jixtru ċ-ċittadinanza fl-anonimat ser ikunu l-privileġġjati.

“We know that it will help us consolidate and build upon what we have and at the same time open new opportunities to us and future generations. My government recognises that more than any other resource, this is the one thing that we cannot have enough of, and we realise that all things being equal, this talent will be pivotal in the success of our nation.”

A talent was an ancient unit of weight and value in Greece, Rome, and the Middle East. In the Old Testament, a talent was a unit of measurement for weighing precious metals, usually gold and silver. In the New Testament, a talent was a value of money or coin. In 2013 in Malta talent is still a value of money or coin and at the current exchange rate it’s a one-time quick transaction of a few hundred thousand euro.

If only criminals respect me, am I still considered as a respectable individual?

What percentage of Henley’s fees, I wonder, would be off-set by “operational expenses” trousered by our political lords and masters for the plum exclusivity deal they got?

Joseph Muscat was very worried this evening, in parliament, that the new passport holders will eventually sue the Maltese government if it retracts their citizenship. Suppose they sue him now if the USA were to stop visa-free travel.

It turns out that back then the stakes were lower, Malta was still a third world country anyway, things are different today
