His brand of Socialism had a kind of dangerous nationalism in it, which was akin to other non-aligned nations, as in South-east Europe at the time and also those countries such as Nasser’s Egypt.

Joseph Muscat’s politics is a 21st century version of this kind of mentality in which an anti-social brand of neo-liberalism is combined with an us and them mentality.

Always hated Napoleon and men with napoleonic traits, of which many exist on this isle.

Alas, it is the will of a tyrannous majority to the detriment of a large minority that was not blinded by the bling being shoved the throats of so many. Since this was the will of a foolish mob, I wonder how much more nonsense we have to take to realise that as long as fools keep voting, we keep getting the same minestrone of “ġdur” and “basal”.

You bet.

Quick, when no-one’s looking. Today’s also supposed to be the Opposition’s take on that budget.

‘..Instead, there will be fines of between €75 and €125 for people caught with less than two grammes of drugs or two ecstasy pills, while those caught with cannabis will be liable to a fine between €50 and €100…’

Imagine the police with electronic measuring scales in their patrol car to confirm whether the coke’s for personal use.

And does it mean four in a car makes eight grammes?

Napoleon, an inverted snob, worked the mob into a frenzy, on the pretext that France would fare better without the monarchy. And when he managed to literally behead the monarch he called himself Emperor and couldn’t even wait for the Pope to crown him.

Napoleon crowned himself and his wife Josephine as Emperor and Empress of France. On a positive note, when Malta fell into his hands, because the Maltese were fed up of the Knights and decided they needed a change, his reign lasted only two years.

Those were two long and miserable years. The last time the Labour Party managed to win the government, they lasted two years. Is it just my wishful thinking or is there any hope that history repeats itself?

Are they under any particular pressure?
