Repeat that to the civil servants, and you will get a rather colourful reply from people from both camps.

However, one cannot but shudder to think that all this rhetoric by JM will maybe lead us back to how things were after Mintoff’s second electoral win and onwards !

‘Twas always thus, and always thus will be ….and who forgets the past is condemned to re-live it – will the maltese people bring this saying to reality?

The famous ‘cake’ and ‘inqassmu ic-cejca’.

It is very difficult for those who did not live those times to understand today’s situation but for those who did live those days Muscat’s actions are a premonition for worse things to come.

Spot on…I add this though: PL always thinks in terms of votes and how to be populist, in other words for the short term.
On the other hand, PN always thinks of the individual and the country as a whole and how to prosper- in other words …for the LONG term.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

Margaret Thatcher

The MLP buys its votes by letting people think they’re getting more money, rather than more opportunity to develop their potential.

A la Bondi.
