I&#039;ll second that. However it&#039;s not the Labour crowd that are demented. It&#039;s our lot, particularly the Sliema types who seem to be in permanent midlife crisis and think that it&#039;s hip and daring to vote Labour. 

Unfortunately I can count some close family members there, who out of all people should know better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another amnesty for criminals by Joseph Muscat and his government:&#039;&#039; The government is proposing an amnesty for those who register illegally stuffed protected birds...&#039;&#039;

Is this because owners of illegal stuffed birds and their suppliers have a vote and immigrants do not?

					<description><![CDATA[Even though I never voted for this marmalja, I somehow found it in my heart to have a glimmer of hope that they would achieve something worthwhile, that they would prove us wrong.

I always thought, if my business is run by these people, it would not last a week.

I try to sometimes justify some of the things they do, the actions they take, even their MO.

I cannot.

Serious crimes are being committed by this government and we like idiots, sheep, ignorant morons practise omerta.

This is not Sicily.  This is not the Mafia. If we do not stand up to them they will squash us. This will be the new Baku. 

Why are we not standing up for Balzan? He is innocent and we all know it, yet no one does or say anything. Why do we let him take this shit on his own?  What happened to our mentality where we protect the innocent? 

Many times I thought, hey, Daphne is over the top when she collectively calls them a bunch of useless twits (allow my paraphrasing) but I have to agree with her. Iva lanqas wiehed minhom m&#039;hu sew?

Saudi billionaires, dictators from Baku who have kidnapped their own daughter because she was a thorn in the side of the mother and sister, repressive China, Ukraine&#039;s Yanukovich (I remember receiving an invitation to meet the guy when he was due in Malta). Do we do business, as long as it is business with any criminal?

I remember as a child being dragged out on to the streets to welcome Romania&#039;s Ceaucescu and Libya&#039;s Gaddafi, amongst others. Look where they ended up.

We deserve the government that we elect. They are not dictators. We chose them and we put them there. They are doing this because we put them there.

Let&#039;s not do this to ourselves again.]]></description>
