The other day it was the minister of finance at the European Parliament, now it is this dinosaur. Clearly, the intellectual indigence of Muscat’s acolytes is most frightening.

Here’s Malta telling the entire world (urbi e orbi), through CNN no less!, that it cannot accept irregular migrants because they break the ‘marble’ toilet seats and smear the place.

Forget Edward Scicluna’s fifty passports per year; it is more likely that it will be 300: “Official figures show more than 330 visas have been issued (by Spain) in the first 12 months of the program, raising €225 million.”

That’s why Joseph Muscat wants to soldier on with his programme. He wants it all and he wants it now, not five years down the line. A five year residency by the applicant won’t suit his purpose.

Thirteen days to go for the EU debate on “EU citizenship for sale”.

It will probably be held at around 17.40 on Wednesday the 15th January 2014.

It is well nigh impossible to replicate Scicluna’s unmitigated disaster.

George Vella managed to get quite close though.

In reply to observer. And George Vella repeats the lie that a foreigner can get easily get citizenship by marrying a Maltese. The young man who says the same thing at the beginning of the clip may be excused his ignorance as he has probably been misled by government propaganda but the Foreign Affairs Minister has no such justification. He's simply lying through his teeth.

George Vella stresses that it is not a question of selling citizenship. It is certainly not that. It is much worse. It is
prostitution unabashed – pure, simple and unadulterated.

CNN’s reporter was not so slow in uncovering the scheme’s faults that Vella was trying to cover.
