Good. Will James Tyrell now subscribe that maybe we weren&#039;t so wrong in our scepticism, &#039;a prescindere&#039;, of Muscat&#039;s proposals?

He doesn&#039;t have to put it in writing. This country doesn&#039;t have a democratic right to choose, which is why the PN has a moral duty to govern. 

Gonzi&#039;s decision was to push the boundaries of choice, his reform was unequivocal, no more messing around with illegalities, sanctioning and formal bureaucratic legitimation of illicit behaviour and subtle design of hidden agendas.  

And that is self evident truth. Mea culpa James Tyrell, mea maxima culpa. The onlty redeeming factor being the lack of familiarity with this lot&#039;s double faced nature and a command of a language used to allow it. 


On the other hand, what will he do to help rid us of this lot?]]></description>

Kev, you are proof positive that the &#039;pimps, thieves and scroundels&#039; of the labour national socialists have no sense of humour.

PS Kev, what do you what to be when you grow up? An archetypal ponce?]]></description>

From the inception of the Malta Labour Party, led by Dom Mintoff, to the current Labour regime the continuous thread of National Socialist is startlingly clear.

It is extremely sad that local commentators have not been more vociferous on this issue. 

The result is that the country is now saddled with an evil little twerp who regularly impersonates Mussolini no less to the ghoulish delight of his grotesquely misnamed &#039;liberal progressive movement&#039;.]]></description>

MLP is definitely a populistic, far-right party. It took me 2 long years, after I landed here in early 90s, to figure that out as to me a &quot;Labour&quot; party was necessarily on the left side of politics: open, cosmopolitan, progressive, etc. 

It is the PN, rather, that is left-leaning and definitely not Malta&#039;s Labour.]]></description>

The same FN whose leader (Jean-Marie Le Pen) was invited to attend a Crans Montana Conference here in Malta in 1994 or 1995, when PN was in government and Fenech Adami at the helm. For some reason, Le Pen didn&#039;t show up at the end! Who knows why ?]]></description>

True, but between the FN and the PL I would choose the new Marine-led FN any day. They are much less nationalist than the PL. 

I don&#039;t think that they are going to be half as bad as the politically-correct left-leaning media are making out. In fact there is already talk that many of the Algerian Francophiles (Muslims) are beginning to back the FN. 

I think the rise of the FN in France, if nothing else, has demonstrated the irrelevance of the French Socialists. 

It will be a big problem if they disrupt the work of the EP and if they manage to form a parliamentary group, which is very unlikely due to the fractious nature of the Right, they would have the reins in the EU.]]></description>

X&#039;arukaża! Aren&#039;t these the same Le Pen mob who want to stop further transfer of power from the corrupt member states to our glorious, transparent wizards at the Brussels Centrum?

I hear they&#039;ve been listed on the Union&#039;s Anarchists &#038; Saboteurs Watchlist. A show trial is in order. And Muscat had better be warned. Guilt by association is a villainous act.

F&#039;hiex wasalna, f&#039;hiex wasalna... hux ġejja Malta issa wkoll!

Lady Deafley, ħarisna int għax m&#039;għandna &#039;l ħadd iħarisna.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You can be so immensely trying at times, Kevin. I think you should be coaching Karmenu Vella, getting him ready to face the EP grilling he so dreads, the poor thing. He was kind enough to give an election testimonial (&quot;ivvota ghal Sharon ghax mara&quot;) for your missus, after all. Time to return the favour (not that it worked).]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

He put a man who frequently attacks businesses as minister of the economy and he also gave a ministry to his ex-wife.
