We can’t cope any longer with Labour because they break the rules, smear the place, and even raid the safe.

In reply to curious. Perhaps the cherry on the cake would be to kiss his ring again too?

In reply to Evarist Saliba. The target interviewee was Manwel Mallia, who is responsible for detention centres. He went away on the day the interview was supposed to happen so George Vella was wheeled in to take his place.

Delicate subjects need delicate handling. This was clearly lacking on this occasion.

In reply to Adam Bones.

Also, please tell me I am sick for thinking this, but when he said that they ‘smear the place’ would he have been talking about faeces perhaps?

The word ‘smear’ has a negative connotation and is generally collocated with words such as ‘faeces’, ‘mud’ or ‘reputation’. In his case, he had just finished talking about toilets so the connection seems logical.

Did you get that too, Daphne?

[Daphne – Yes, I took that as read.]

In reply to tal-QUTU. I wouldn't be too sure of that QUTU; have you heard what some of the others have said, prime amongst these our very own Prime Minister? Remember the: 'take them to Sweden' jibe. This National Socialist government has no limits.

In reply to Jozef. No, it was probably: "Once upon a time there were a bunch of sand-niggers on a boat, and ooopsy daisy, they drowned because we were playing a game of hide and seek with them. The moral of the story, little kiddies, is that there are more many more where they came from so it does not matter."

So Malta’s Foreign minister refers to the migrants as “these people”.

Hopeless.

Wasn’t that Hitler’s rationale for justifying sending Jews into concentration camps? You dehumanise individuals by referring to them as ‘these people’ who have a problem and don’t help themselves by smearing all over the place and consequently spreading disease and deserve no better.

16,000 people over 10 years is fewer than the number of people that pass through the airport in one week. And yet €100,000,000 is not enough to provide adequate facilities.

The more this government bellyaches about asylum seekers, the deeper a hole it digs itself into.

To crown it all with sale of passports, the government has fully blown any argument based on the sorry tale that Malta is a small island with a high population density.
