    So, so sad, but so predictable with this bunch. Worse to come.

  2. Rumplestiltskin says:

    If Lawrence Gonzi wasn’t the gentleman that he is he would be yelling “I told you so!”

    Tal-misthija.

    Pajjiz mibjugh.

    Pajjiz mqahhab.

    MEP Sean Kelly was referring to the song “How can you buy Killarney”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WI5_82EDIs

    An American landed on Erin’s green isle
    He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile
    “How can I buy it?”, he said to his guide
    “I’ll tell you how”, with a smile he replied

    How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
    How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
    How can you purchase a fond mother’s sighs?
    How can you buy Killarney?

    Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile
    The emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney
    When you can buy all these wonderful things
    Then you can buy Killarney

    Such a wonderful landscape you never have seen
    A jewel so rare ‘twould befit any queen
    Pride of old Erin, a joy to behold
    Heaven on earth, far more precious than gold

    How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
    How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
    How can you purchase a fond mother’s sighs?
    How can you buy Killarney?

    Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile
    The emerald, the shamrock and the Blarney
    When you can buy all these wonderful things
    Then you can buy Killarney
    Then you can buy Killarney

    Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox, do you know the meaning of this quote, of coarse not.

  6. Gahan says:

    ” How about this? I am very happy to let Malta sell EU citizenship to whom ever it wants, provided there is an equivalent and reciprocal right for my citizens of the United Kingdom to renounce theirs.”

    MEP Daniel Hannan

    From international regard to worldwide ridicule. All in less than 300 days. You’re so right, Ms Caruana Galizia, there are two Maltas.

    Compare and contrast. Malta in the news when governed by the Nationalist Party vs Malta in the news when governed by Labour.

  9. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Powerful words from the Irishman there.

  10. Paul says:

    Asked whether he still believed that Austria had an identical scheme to Malta, Dr Muscat said: “I have no doubt about that.”

    This is what was reported on the Times of Malta today. I mean what is wrong with this guy?

    A hundred and one declarations by the highest-ranking Austrian officials declaring the contrary, and he still persists?

    And now it’s “identical”? Not even similar any more.

    Who does he think he is fooling?

    Honestly, I am truly giving up on this guy. And fear that worse is yet to come.

    • Gahan says:

      The most important thing for him is that he won’t be caught on video saying “Austria has an identical scheme like Malta’s”. If he’s pressed he would tell the reporter “Mela jien il-pappagall tieghek? No more questions.”

    • Jozef says:

      Yes, it is quite remarkable, either he’s delusional or will carry on until his core support is convinced. It could be both, delusional that if he insists this thing will somehow go away.

      Which is where the PN can intercept those who voted this individual. The process starts in that parliament, Labour MEP’s shamed into pressing against the basic creed of all socialists, the European Western variety that is, not Labour’s pragmatic terzo-mondismo.

      Muscat hasn’t realised or prefers not to understand that his pseudo-Putin ideological moves are being seen as destabilising European political unity, too busy concocting which monument he’ll build with ‘his’ biljun.

      No one was as scathing as the PES MEP’s including Swodoba when it came to values, solidarity and being authentic. He struck both nerves with immigration and passports, as diametrically removed as could be.

      Truly a case of Labour being late, very late, geo-politically and in spirit, at best the moves of a remnant splinter of APSO, in reality a glazed stooge of the worst iteration of a corrupt counter African Union led by Chinese interests.

    Oh, the shame.

    http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140125/letters/An-attack-on-tiny-Malta.504006#.UuOER8JwaTN

    A flowery, verbose comment from Richard Matrenza about the nasty Nats.

  13. just me says:

    Scicluna says we are twisting his words because no one saw the video of what he said at EP.

    http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140124/local/scicluna-says-his-citizenship-comments-were-twisted.503896#.UuOJHbBwY5s

    Is he serious? Roberta Metsola immediately put the video on facebook. You Daphne had also posted it here..

    http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/12/watch-finance-minister-edward-scicluna-make-a-fool-of-himself-trying-to-defend-the-sale-of-maltese-citizenship-in-brussels/

    And now I find that he himself had uploaded it on his YouTube channel..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUoKnjRK6W4

    Yet he claims that people did not see it.

    Joseph, iva possibbli, ghadek ma ntbahtx li qed twaqqa’ Malta ghaz-zufjett?

    Minn pajjiz li niftahru bih, gibtna noqoghdu lura milli mmorru go pajjizi ohra Ewropej.

    Min jaf il-pajjizi Ewropej kif se jibdew iharsu lejna meta mmorru go pajjizhom. Kif jaraw il-passaport taghna jibdew jghidu ‘Tghid dan wiehed minnhom? Tghid dan wiehed milli xtara ic-cittadinanza Maltija? Dan frodist jew xi terrorist, jew xi persuna li ghandu xi interess partikolari biex dahal f’pajjizna?’

    Jekk m’ghandekx ideat ohra kif tohloq il-gid fil-pajjiz, irrizenja u halli il-wisgha lil min jaf imexxi u johloq ix-xoghol, b’ekonomija fuq saqajha, kif halliha il-Partit Nazzjonalista.

  15. Pontius says:

    This is precisely what I always hated about this bunch. They feel justified in manipulating the stupid and gullible and insulting the intelligence of the rest.
