Ten layers of mascara.

[Daphne – Indeed. I would love to be 10 years older than I am.]

She’s just plain stupid, common, and can barely speak.

It should also be noted that the judgement against push-backs was given by the European Court of Human Rights, which is not an EU institution.

In fact, legal amendments made under Article 17 of protocol no.14 allow the EU to become party to the Convention, and, if I’m not mistaken, the Lisbon Treaty also pushed for this to happen.

Either way, Marlene Mizzi could do thus nothing about it even if she managed to persuade the entire European Parliament that push-backs are a good idea.

Too much make up…..

Antoine, the problem is the MLP/government’s and it is making matters worse by constantly fomenting hate and shooting itself in the foot.

The fires were stoked when the MLP was still in opposition. This was done in an effort to destabilise the PN led government further.

I assume that the PN has no interest in being called negative as it assists the MLP/government and gives it first aid and to be quite honest, as things stand today, I agree with the PN.

Tradition hadn’t blossomed. The hunters didn’t have guns then.

I think you are downplaying the symbolic role of battles on national psyches. The Turks still say: ‘Malta yok’ which roughly translates as “Malta isn’t there”.

Also, there is no need to rubbish one event in history, which was tactically unimportant from a strategic perspective – I agree, to make the point that the PL is increasing xenophobia in Malta and Europe more generally.

People mimic their leaders and that is just what I hear whenever I find myself in the company of Maltese people. How long I ask, considering they don’t have the numbers anyway, for the socialist grouping to kick these nationalists out?
