If you are glad that you have lived for the last 10 years in the European Union, Luciano, aghsfas Like and vote PN
Some people’s priorities and ‘small potatoes’ mentality really flummoxes me. I see that nothing has changed in Labour and people like Luciano Busuttil from the days of ‘childrin elowin’. Malta was crucified over almost two decades by people with that kind of mentality, and now I see we’re at it again: two cents off the price of petrol and they sit around at Labour meetings waving the cheques they’ve just received in the post.
Tal-biki.
To borrow a quote from the prime minister: all the near-miraculous changes that are the direct result of policy choices by Nationalist governments since 1987 (and they even had to undo the chaos of Labour’s 1996-1998 term in office) have been biskuttini f’halq il-hmir.

Ircevew ic-cekk tar-registrazzjoni tal-karozzi, ha jkomplu jimlew it-toroq bir-racanc u l-imbarazz li jgibu ‘sekint hent’ minn barra minn Malta.
L-aqwa li bil- Cakwar u l-Marsedis.
Xi dwejjaq ta’ pajjiz!
if I may ask, can you tell me what you drive pls? Then when it is convenient for you we’ll meet and confront my ‘sekint hent’ and ‘racanc’ or whatever you called the second-hand imported car and then you can verify which car is ‘racanc’ mine or yours. Even tough not knowing what you drive I’m placing this challenge
@Claudio Zammit if you can only see what lies beneath. Yes most of the cars imported second hands from countries where it snows are racanc, and to add salt to the injury one ends up paying the amount that it costs in UK
Jekk tahseb li jien bahnan u cuc, aghfas like.
Hemm fejn taghfas Jaqq? Luciano Busuttil does not know that we are paying for the so called ‘refunds’.
These are refunds they are not entitled to. This was a registration tax which in error was called VAT. Registration tax payable before it was called VAT and the one after, after Transport Malta realised that it was against EU rules to charge VAT twice, was not different.
With the introduction of VAT system somebody at Transport Malta decided that part of the registration tax will be called VAT however there was no increase or decrease in tax payable.
I cannot understand why this should be refunded. The government has no limits in charging registration TAX as long as it is not called VAT.
Luciano Busuttil, li minn jeddu ghazel li jmur joqghod Marsaxlokk qal li qed ibati l-konsegwenzi tal-‘fabbrika tal-kancer’. Mela issa nistenna li jaghmel stedina biex jaghfas “like” min hu kuntent bit-tanker tal-gass fil-bajja ta’ Marsaxlokk anke jekk din mhix karrotta ta’ lejlet dritt ghall-vot.
Dan il-Gvern serqilna is-serhan tal-mohh. Aghfas Like.
Luciano Busuttil was secured a brighter future, with opportunities opened towards all Europe, thanks to the PN governments. Press like for this, Mr. Busuttil.
Furthermore, those who are receiving these famous refunds are not entitled to them. The case was already decided under the PN government. Muscat saw an opportunity to grab more votes, and made his promise. Now thanks to him we are forking out these refunds ourselves.
Hallas Luciano u aghmel like, please.
Every day I wonder what they are going to ‘give’ during the last weeks of the next general election in 4 years’ time.
I hope that people will get smarter by then.
Jifirħu bil-loqom? It seems that Joseph Muscat’s movement has gone back to being the Malta Labour Party of old, and is only interested in retaining its current voter base rather than attracting new ones.
They don’t need to anymore, not until the next generation at least. Just make sure the herd keeps swilling the Kool-Aid and they’ll breeze through any election for the foreseeable future.
As one labourer friend told me yesterday, his cheque refund of VAT on his vehicle does not cover the new Muscat increase in road tax on the same vehicle. Give with one and take with the other is classic Mintoff politics.
My partner and I got the cheque yesterday as well. That’s two cheques mind you.
But, we already had to pay the increase in the road licence to make up for this.
The sorry situation here is, that anyone who did not buy vehicles in the period 2004-2008 would still pay the increase in road licence, but will get nothing back.
If someone thinks that I am so chicken minded to thank Labour for this, he’s dreaming, big time.
They promised the refund. I applied for it.
It hasn’t been sent yet! Is it only sent to those “tal-qalba” ? Malta taghna lkoll indeed.
Oops.. I just received it!
Jekk, tahseb li Luciano ghandu jkompli jiekol b’zewgt ihluq – aghfas UTTERLY DISLIKE.

Where is the money owed to many police officers for overtime worked, which were promised during the last week of the election. Nobody ever mentioned anything.
Luciano tal-lajks.
Buffu!
U LEEEE How sad!
Malta’s problem does not lie in the exaggerated amount of imbeciles, hamalli and brainless twerps it breeds in relation to those who have brains and use them.
Each and every country has its fair share of the first type and it’s more or less within the same ratio.
The problem lies in voter turnout.
In most European countries voter turnout is at most around 70% of the population and it is the dregs of society that normally keep away because they are either too stupid or too lazy to bother voting.
After having split his Party, Mintoff realised this potential and fortified his ranks with rabble, inflating voter turnout from 73.9% in 1950 to 81.2% in 1955. Mintoff led them to believe that they had some importance, that he was their Savoiur but the bottom line was the vote.
Admittedly some did benefit as some do today but for the vast majority quality of life remains unchanged. If anything it becomes worse because whereas under a PN administration they console themselves into believing that it’s not their government, which is wrong because a government belongs to the whole nation, today notwithstanding the ‘gvern taghna ilkoll’ most remain in their misery while ‘il-hbieb tal-hbieb ta’ Joseph ji pappuwa’.
With voter turnout today at around 95% it’s a miracle PN managed to hold out for so long but it also underscores one redeeming factor.
Unlike Mintoff, Joseph no longer has new pastures wherein to fortify his ranks. His poaching of PN votes in the last election is a testimony of this.
His ‘suldati tal-azzar’, the original ones not his half-baked copy Cyrus Engerer, are falling off their perch one by one and in time many of those who fled the Gonzi/PN administration will realise that Simon Busuttil means business, real business and no nonsense, which is what many of us who have hung on want anyway. They will come to their senses, be welcomed back to the PN and aid in putting this country back on track again.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul. That’s what the government is doing, robbing the rest of the people to pay the few. Coincidentally the PM is going to benefit from this daylight robbery.
One receives a cheque of €110 (please note, a couple of weeks prior to MEP elections), and I believe the first reaction would be: Viva Joseph issa nircievi €660 ohra (€110 for the remaining 6 years IF you remember to apply EVERY year).
BUT it seems everyone received what I will call a down payment of €110, without any explanatory letter, regardless of the car bought/purchase price/VAT on registration tax paid.
So presumably, one will know ‘in due course’ what will actually be refunded.
Thus, if one is to be refunded, say €500 in total (based on registration tax of €2700), one will be refunded €65 per annum or an average of €5/month for the remaining 6 years (IF one remembers to apply), so I really don’t know what all the fuss is about.
Trid tkun veru hmar biex tibla’ l-lixka ta’ Muscat u tivvota Labour wara li l-PN fil-gvern bidel wicc Malta wara l-herba li hallew warajhom il-gvernijiet ta’ Mintoff-KMB u Sant.
Minn dal-gvern s’issa x’rajna hlief nepotizmu, favoritizmu, inkompetenza, arroganza, bzar fl-ghajnejn, mutetti u giggifogu tad-duhhan.
Ghiduli x’sar ta’ sustanza fil-hajja ekonomika u socjali tal-magguranza tal-poplu.
I bought a car in 2008 and received a registration refund to the tune of Eur 800 in one payment during the last PN administration. All these cheques sent to people are not refunds of VAT but mere donations by the Labour Party to win votes. Let’s be clear, the government is not legally bound to pay these monies, it is yet another form of wasting public funds with the intention to create discrimination.
I despair and cannot take it anymore, Maltese people are becoming more gullible as days go by under this communist government. At some point many will get back to their senses, but only after we hit a concrete wall and many will be hurt.
