HPB, I&#039;m at an age where I can&#039;t really be bothered to analyse these loons any more. They will always find a justification to their premises.

Gollnisch - an expert in Nipponic language married to a Japanese lady - is a product of the 19th century mentality which still thrives within the French upper middle class families. One must bear in mind that the Front National is constituted of two social groups:  people living in high immigration areas and the upper-middle class/lower-rank nobility . 

Lowell is a racist comedian whose posterity will rely on his coinage of catchphrases that are excellent qualifiers of Maltese antics.]]></description>

I know exactly what Gollnisch said, and I wasn&#039;t translating, but commenting on the glaring inconsistency in Bruno Gollnisch&#039;s justification of his vote. 

Nationalists like Gollnisch oppose what they say is European leniency towards illegal immigrants because those immigrants can get a European passport while making no effort to assimilate, integrate or even learn the language.

Just like that Chinese billionaire.

So Gollnisch&#039;s vote in favour of the Maltese passport scheme was cutting off his nose to spite his face. A sort of self hu go fik, as it were.

With racialists like Norman Lowell, it isn&#039;t just illegal immigrants who are a problem, but non-Europids regardless of their legal status. If he won&#039;t have non-Europids pollute Europid blood, then surely the first step is to prevent non-Europids from obtaining European passports. Yet beyond a few jibes a the &#039;Squallid Socialists&#039;, he&#039;s been singularly quiet about this whole business. His acolytes (where is Stephen Farrugia), who were busy commenting everywhere before the election, are nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps he is just embarrassed at having supported an obviously anti-Imperium party. But with the EU Parliament elections coming up, we expect Lowell to define his position with respect to the governing party. He&#039;s been skirting around the problem, and I think I know why: it would alienate his voter base.]]></description>

HPB, that is not exactly what Gollnisch said. Historically nationalist, racist and anti-European, his vote is a protest one aimed at pro-EU and pro-immigration citizens. 

In a nutshell, he&#039;s saying, &quot;In the past you wanted to hand out  citizenship to practically anyone, now that other countries are selling it, you&#039;re making a big fuss about it&quot;

&quot;Il y a quelques années, vous vouliez même l’octroyer à n’importe quel résident extra-européen, avec des conditions minimales. Il est étonnant que vous défendiez aujourd’hui ce que vous vouliez brader hier.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is very true to say that Joseph Muscat fooled the people who trusted him with their vote, because this scheme was never mentioned before the elections.

However, I still cannot understand how people trusted him and gave him their vote, when he never gave any indication to what his concrete plans for the future of Malta were during the electoral campaign. 

His only answers were always, &#039;electricity bills would be reduced by 25%&#039; and &#039;we have a roadmap&#039;. How can I trust a person who will not tell me what is in that roadmap?

Unfortunately, to the detriment of us all, we are now taking a look at that roadmap and its unpleasant roads.]]></description>

But that&#039;s a renewed passport, not a new one. For a new one, you need to collect it in person. However, I defer to you on matters of diplomatic regulations.]]></description>

Hardcore Labourites are all dipped in the cult of Mintoff and they would  love nothing more than to go back to the old times of the 1970s / mid 80s for a re-run of the Mintoff- KMB  glory years.

They love that punishing era and want it to go on and on.

They are willing to see it re-play its self out of spite and hatred.

Time or era of present living does matter to them; progress is an imaginary concept that has no meaning on their way thinking. 

Brainwashed individuals act the same way, as only the stressed points forced in by their handler matter. 

Only what is burnt into their brain matters and other thoughts are  just side noise of no importance.  Effective indoctrination does these things.

Never underestimate the PL&#039;s hatred of the citizens of Malta.

That whole political party is like a sadistic concentration camp commander who can&#039;t wait to devise new ways to torture the inmates for the sheer fun of it,   because  he  can and no one can stop him.

The Castro brothers in Cuba are  also very much like that, even 55 years later.]]></description>
