Believe me if they stay in government for then next 25 years Malta would end up in the gutter because they will ruin this country once and for all.

At 11.30 the Chinese teenage delegation were just coming out of the Upper Barracca garden. They were led by government officials.

I told the man “I’m Maltese, but I’m not from Gozo”. And the man replied, “Yes, I’m Maltese too.”

And that therefore it will only be those who will be issued ID cards and who will obtain their passports in some 12 months’ time that will be future voters?

D cards etc., what about the due diligence exercise on each of them?
Or is that already on the back burner?

The government is bent on presenting the nation, and the EU, with a fait accompli.
