Il-garra gejja w sejra sa fl-ahhar tinkiser.

Igbed u igbed il-habel sa fl-ahhar icedi w kollox jixkana ghal gol-hajt.

We have seen it happen in Greece and Spain. To me it looks to be impossible that life like this will continue ad infinitum.

I’d just like to put things into perspective. Because I get the sneaking suspicion that the percentage might be higher this time round, with Drydocks and Shipbuilding gone.

This one’s interesting, all hushed up.

I have a feeling that by the end of the current government’s term the number of unemployed will be next to nil, that is unless the economy goes bust with all this rampant spending of public funds.

Still, the people are happy, or so it seems as there is hardly a whimper or moans and groans as happened during the PN government. People seem to expect standards and no corruption from PN government but they do not expect the same from the PL government. Go figure.

Yes, it has happened before. Taghna Lkollers making use of the PN media to air their own problems and the PN are swallowing everything. Wake up PN chaps and check well what you are printing/saying in your media before you give out the ‘news’ item.

You are right – looks like it. Now how can the PN win unless they promise the same.

A breakdown of the actual number of people employed directly with the government ministries, etc. would give a clearer picture of the positions being given to certain people.

It is like paying yourself a wage from your own savings account.

Everything is a small diameter circle with the Labour Party.
