Yes, I’m afraid that’s indeed the direction the country’s taking.

Talking of distractions and creating one problematic issue after another, next on the list is abortion.

Think about it: if adoption by homosexual couples has been argued on the basis of ‘the rights’ of adults as opposed to those of the child, imagine how easy it can be to argue for the right of the mother to, for example, choose what to do with her body when the living organism is ‘just’ a human embryo.

According to Civil Rights Minister Helena Dalli, the legalisation of abortion is a “categorical no at this point in time.” At this point in time, there are perhaps no paybacks to be made, but this government being so “dynamic and energetic”, the time may, sooner or later, prove ripe for another distraction or to meet a real or perceived need for such a legislation.

Elsewhere in Europe and the world, gay marriage (let alone adoption by gay couples) followed the introduction of abortion. But then again, this Malta getting ever so liberal and European, led by a party-in-government until recently notoriously anti-liberal and anti-European.

“My question is: what will Joseph invent when he runs out of these extreme leftist, Zapatero-inspired fetishes?”

There’s always Jason’s V-18, Malta’s EU presidency, immigration and so on.

It would have needed only just one case out of the corruption issues listed above for Joseph Muscat to have asked Gonzi’s head on a silver platter IF it had occurred under Gonzi’s watch.

And the media, Times of Malta included, would have drooled over it for the news value. But now? Nothing that the PL government does is an issue for the media.

…and the flamingo

Well, surprised? Even the flamingo is still awaiting justice!

L-Oppożizzjoni għandha tistaqsi mistoqsija waħda sempliċi għal-kull karta li joħroġ mill-komma Muscat: “Kemm ħolqot, jew sa toħloq xogħol din il-liġi, jew din il-miżura?”

We never got to know the details on the Henley & Partners contract. They’ve all gone very silent about Henley when the truth is that they are still the ones vetting applications.

So professionals are not quite on equal footing with Henley & Partners who determine which applications go to Identity Malta and when. Plus they earn a 4% on everyone’s clients – being rewarded for a programme which they bungled up so horribly. Why?
