Have you ever had a buscade? If not, I pity you. They’re plenty of fun. I’ll remember mine till the day I die.

There is nothing wrong and unhealthy to have allegiance to what is right.

Call me jaded, but I don’t miss the days of Gonzi at all. Not one bit. His administration left a legacy of appeasement of the worst scum ever to stain the earth, of exportation of our top villains to Europe, of blatant cronyism, and of monumentally bad character judgement.

No, I don’t miss those days at all. What I look forward to are the days of Simon Busuttil. How refreshing to have a prime minister who is untainted by corruption or the usual Maltese dubious links, who doesn’t hobnob with bazuzli, who doesn’t talk like a sales brochure, and who has been tempered by life’s adversities.

There is a time and a place, but I would like to see students take politics more seriously, especially since they’re the ones who are going to be hurt the most by this government’s policies.

The Nationalist Party has been left to do everything by itself because the tools which are supposed to make democracy work aren’t working.

For example, important public entities like the National Statistics Office have been bought off and could you imagine Malta’s biggest trade union, GWU, criticizing the government? What about TVM, the national television station?

To say nothing of the police, newspapers such as Malta Today and everybody else who’s just too scared to speak up. All this while (most of) the very people who’ve been raised in a normal society and who should know better sit idly by, thinking that our government is just like any other.

It takes a big incident like Malliagate to get their attention. God, I miss the days of Gonzi, I should never have taken them for granted.

Neil, with that kind of language, you are going to end up being head-hunted by the Labour Party.

AD? HA HA HA HA HA
