It would have made more of an effect if everyone was wearing them to underline the secrecy aspect to this horrible travesty of democracy.

I suggest that future protests take up this symbol.

Who knows, it may even spur an #Anonymous Ops investigation into the many links of Shiv Nair, the dealings of Dalli, the MOU between Joseph Muscat’s Labour Party and China, the Gasol Plc Gattopardi, their Scientologist Chairman Lukman etc.

Does he have the right to implement what was not mandated for?

If we previously had hoodwinking by billboard, we are now at the stage of hoodwinking by Parliamentary decision.

No outward violence. Taht Manwel kollox bil-pulit.

Manipulation of the worst criminal sort: legal loopholes mismatched with the moral comportment of a nation.

The Red Dragon would have sworn the PL leaders to secrecy.

I dread to think what the pound of flesh we owe China fully consists of. What part of our collective body are they going to cut it out from? Maybe they will just take the soul – that at least would not bother the socialists.

It will certainly bother our natural Liberal partners to the north, not to mention the USA whom Muscat has already started to rile with bitchy comments about ‘snooping’.

Agreed. Still, even if he enjoys a “massive parliamentary majority” does not give him the right to tread upon us as he wishes. Hence, the people will always be justified to protest even against a Government elected democratically.

– No, you do not need to pass a language test as required in Belgium.
– No, you do not need to form office and provide employment as required in Belgium.
– No, you do not have to have lived in the country for 3 years as required in Belgium, or 5 years in Portugal.

In fact, you do not even have to be in the country. You just have to be rich, and anonymous – identity protected by the “liberal” government.

– No, we did not learn from the Canadians after a number of abuses were uncovered.
– No, we do not know the criteria for ‘due diligence’, whereas they are public in democratic and transparent countries like Canada.
– No, would-be citizens do not have to spend 2/5 years in the country to maintain their citizenship as required in Canada.

In fact the only European country to grant automatic citizenship upon a one-time donation is Austria, which however demands a €10m investment, and not a puny €650,000.

Oh, actually there’s another (non-European) country, St Kitts & Nevis – in the Caribbean – one of the nations that France has blacklisted as an offshore tax haven. I’m looking forward to how our trading partners will look onto us now. The Chamber of Commerce has already voiced its heavy concerns.

The people, judging by historically accurate surveys, have said ‘No’. In fact only only 26% agree with award of citizenship to foreigners paying €650,000. But thanks to our “progressive and liberal” government – who has decided to pass a law that was not part of the electoral mandate and should therefore be passed on to the people in the form of a referendum, this law is now set in stone, as of today.

In the process, the Government has used the police force to try and intimidate a few youngsters who showed up in a quiet line with posters to voice an appeal to the government.

We now have a pimp Government.
A fascist pimp – for rich kerb crawlers.

Yep. That’s about it. How likely is it that Manuel Mallia will turn more than one blind eye?

He can. It suits him not to.

Is Aisha Gaddafi a criminal? Will she be granted Maltese citizenship?

Somehow Muscat always looks very uncomfortable.

Hold your horses Manuel. Dr Muscat is the elected Prime Minister of Malta and enjoys a massive parliamentary majority, and in our parliamentary democracy that means he can do just about anything as long as it is does not violate the constitution.

The fact he is a horrid and sinister individual changes nothing of the above. Voters should have seen that before the elections, like I did. At this point he is already “unstoppable”.

While it is our right to voice an opinion he has the right to govern and legislate as he sees fit, and there is little else you and I can do but wait for the opportunity to vote him out.
