Comments on: What was that we were saying in my previous post, about how well multiculturalism works in Malta? https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/06/what-was-that-we-were-saying-in-my-previous-post-about-how-well-multiculturalism-works-in-malta/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

These kinds of cards simply mean “think about me even on your special day.”

Doesn’t Parnis have anything better to do? Galvanising the south against mooring gas bombs within an urban centre springs to mind.

I thought the standard way of saying ‘birthday’ in Maltese was ‘gheluq sninek’.

But then again, this is hardly surprising. Silvio works a lot with old people who’s birthday could easily be their last. And by the way, are those Silvio’s children?

What were those who voted for him thinking when in that cubicle with that pencil?

[Daphne – The people who voted for him are just like him.]

Things do change under Labour.

That occasion certainly does not call for “l-isbah xewqat”, now does it?
