Malta’s plans to sell passports for cash made it to The Guardian’s Shortcuts Blog on ‘trending topics’ yesterday. After it’s trended all over the continent, this week it began trending in Britain. I wondered how long it would take them to notice, given that the ultimate aim of the sort of people who will be buying our passports is not free movement in Schengen but free movement in Britain.

It’s also on the main web page halfway down in the middle section under “EU passport yours for 546k”
Perfect timing for Christmas parties, jokes and all sorts of informal conversation slipped through a greeting over the festive period.
Just the way things are done.
This takes obtuseness to a new level of density.
The heading gives the wrong impression that you can buy an American or English passport
Joey, you managed to make us the laughing stock internationally, and now specifically the UK. I thought you said you listen to people, I thought you said you are flexible and finally I thought you had said that ultimately you have Malta’s interests first and foremost.
All crap, shame on you Prime minister, you have destroyed 25 years of reputation in a mere few months.
I won’t suggest you resign because you and your cronies will continue milking the system for as long as possible and a resignation is too decent a word for you, and is definitely not in your vocabulary.
