Tweeting while Malta’s reputation is burning.

That’s the beauty of the EU in the long run. In some important sectors – the truly supranational (as opposed to intergovernmental) – it’s composed of people who aren’t interested in being re-elected in the next five years, and thus strive for long-term objectives which nation-states become bound by. The ultimate beneficiaries are thus European citizens.

That much has become obvious in this sorry spectacle: Labour is only interested in harmful short-term gain, while the rest of the EU is interested in long-term goals of sustainable freedom of movement for its citizens.

It’s a shame the EU institutions aren’t given the actual competence to rein in short-sighted states like Muscat’s Malta.

My mate Spud, back in sixth form, used to smoke cigarettes through his arse. He said it bypassed his lungs while allowing him to enjoy tobacco.

Until one day, he let one rip, singed his pubic hair, and set fire to the shell suit trousers round his ankles. We had to put it out using his Systems of Knowledge textbooks plus suggested reading.

Oh salad days.

and (c) spite and vindictiveness towards anyone they think has wronged them or who has showed them up, or who can potentially do so?

I meant ‘coop’ although a ‘coup’ might also be very valid.

Skond ir-rizultat tal-votazzjoni tal-lum jidher li ghadija passata biz-zmien mhux hazin lil Marlene Mizzi (dejjem hekk hu veru dak li qalet) donnu l-MEP’s laburisti maltin qed issiru il laughing xtock tal parlament europew.

However I value most the fact that our legislators need to learn a thing or two from other more “democratically mature” nations.
