Come on now. Democracy also means the people’s participation in structures of power, and freedom of speech. Germany had that long before Hitler came along. Some of the political cartoons of the Thirty Years’ War make The Times of Malta look like Stalin’s Pravda.

On my way there now.

Joseph Muscat will be EU president at that point.

That wasn’t freely given. It was bought.

Nipple clamps. I think you can get them from Homemate.

Baxxter, how does one ‘clamp down’ on a nudist? Where do you place the clamp?

Mallia said, this morning, that passports can now be purchased from Lidl’s discount section.

Knowing that he is lined up to become Malta’s next President sends shivers down my spine. He clearly hasn’t got the ‘nous’ for the job and will only exacerbate the embarrassment which this country is facing due to Muscat’s over-blown ego, in the rest of the world.

Switzerland’s voted to block all immigrants. That means you too.

Post-89 Germany is modelled on West Germany.

This might not the place to discuss German history in detail, but it’s good to highlight that the states formed the German Empire were not far from the democratic model despite that turmoil was present. Turmoil is a characteristic of democracy not of dictatorship (can you see any turmoil in Malta, China or North Korea? – no!).
