In reply to Grezz. I'm not laughing as we saw this happen in the past when the same people were controlling statistics.

In reply to admin. U mhux liċ-Chief tal-NSO keċċa anke lil dawk li kienu joħorġu jiġbru l-istatistika... skont ma' liema kulur huma. Biex żgur ma jkun hemm ħadd li jmerihom. Il-veru makakki dawn in-nies!

In reply to Tabatha White.

And that is also why the Customs/Border Police outfit introduced in this budget – with the necessary initial background noise first provided by the Malta Chamber of Commerce on material coming in from Sicily – is so worrying.

What they are after, is something very different altogether.

I wonder if Eurostat will accept the new figures at face value.

“We’re back in a situation where we need protection from our own government.”

Besides your site, Daphne, there is no protection.

We are in a situation were people would be even less safe if they wished to leave Malta to get to a safer place, because there’s no telling how corrupt Manwel Mallia and Joseph Muscat would use the powers invested in them to frame that person across borders.

I am curious. What would Muscat’s approval rating be at this point in time? How can we all be so blind.

Look at the graph at the top of this page. They could not manage to reduce the unemployed by just one more to be able to bring the figure to the same level as at the start. Reducing it by two would have been an occasion for song and dance.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. And the Malta government is practising all three.
