Agreed, It’s what I always say.

Il-PN mhux dritt ghandu li jfittex rebha elettorali biex jigverna imma dover.

Ir-rebha tal-Labour bdiet bl-ghidut li n-Nazzjonalisti ma riedux jerghu jitilghu fil-gvern.

Forma ta’ permess biex il-pajjiz jieqaf vaganza; aqta’ min jahseb li s-serjeta’ mhix taghhom.

The difference between our species, ours and yours, Patrijott, is that we are capable of calling a spade a spade, even when the PN is in government.

We are capable of criticising our own, without any inhibitions and fear, unlike yourself, “fake patrijott”, who seem unable to distinguish between objective and subjective reasoning. You would probably tell us that the difference is in the first letters of each word.

Lastly, please look up in the Kalepin (probably the only dictionary you own) the word “Patrijott” and you will discover that you are anything but.

Not only would the Maltese government be selling passports on the cheap, but by effectively tying a bond acquisition condition, it is actually eroding this limited revenue – represented by the bond coupon repayments.

To put this into perspective, let us take EUR 150,000 (which is the minimum bond purchase), and take a very conservative 4% p.a. coupon value (NET of any withholding taxes).

This actually transmits to EUR 6,000 per year of coupon repayments.

Multiplied for five (5) years (inflation considerations disregarded) = EUR 30,000

And at the end of the 5 year period, either sale of bond at market value (Maltese sovereign bonds tend to appreciate in their nominal value) or straight out redemption at nominal value at maturity.

So much for investment and attracting talent.

It should be just as much a “corrupt practice” to “buy” votes in exchange for a spurious passport “of convenience” entitling a rogue holder to enter clandestinely into unsuspecting EU nations where to launder the contents of their fat wallets.

Aha, so it IS Malta taghkom biss eh?

Qatta’ mgewhin tistennew il-flus li se jgibilkhom Joseph.

Labourbourgeoisie? Mhux ovvja li tinharaq Daphne, lanqas taqraw u zzommu kelma ma tafu.

Jien nhabbat rasi ma kantuniera nkun irrid bl-injoranza tqattar l’ghandkom.

And do we know who it is. Just wait for the FAA to kick off the campaign.

I see the rot’s out again.

Meglio fascisti che froci eh?

Yes, I remember your gloating in 1983, standing outside your clubs, hands raised, an intelligible sign of five more years of your misgiving with power.

It’s not that we’re impatient to get rid of you, it’s simply the wait until you decide to get off your ass and catch up.

Isn’t it ironic how you were promised the realms of middleclass only to be substituted by Joseph’s guest citizens? When did he last mention your lot?

It should be sooner if action is to be taken in sufficient time to have appropriate influence.

Anything other than sooner will lead to unsavoury scenes down the line.
