The real truth today is that the honest businessman is just a normal worker that maybe can afford a to go on holiday once a year, while the new instant rich are fraudsters, drug dealers and loan sharks.

Comino in summer is one hell of an example. Just check the yachts there.

In reply to chico.

That’s just the beginning.

How do you think this is going to affect Malta’s reputation with these institutions abroad?

“Third world country where people are into cash deals.”

“What? Businessman? From ….Malta?”

“What? Wholesale business? … Malta?”

But, you say:…. Malta’s in the EU.. We HAD a strong economy…. We WERE doing well….We HAD a good reputation. We are represented in Brussels (SNIGGER)…

Sorry. Not strong enough. Things have changed.

Good timing PN. This was exactly the right time to launch the business effort.

The NP have always been on the ball when it comes to safeguarding the reputation of Malta, and the business interests of all Maltese businessmen.

The contrast couldn’t be more evident.

In reply to AE.

If you delve deeper you’ll find that it’s the bouncers that are in full control of the scene.

With security subcontracted, the dangerous guys are those meant to be in enforcement.

Isn’t that just how the Yugoslav mafia got hold of Sweden’s scene?

Isn’t there a Croat in this picture too?

I remember some years back I wanted to withdraw some 20k from my late mum’s account to pay 1 year in advance for the residential home she was in. The bank manager gave me all sorts of bull about wanting to know what the money was for, money laundering and so on.

Guess the banks can’t tell their millions from their thousands.
