The World Economic Forum begins tomorrow in Davos. There are some numbers emerging already.
More than 50% of the world is under the age of 27.
There will be 1.2 billion young people entering the job market in 10 years’ time, with only 300 million jobs awaiting them.
That should Malta Dizastru Totali u Gonzi Missu Jirrizenja into perspective – but not if the horizons of your tiny world are Haz-Zebbug, Hal Ghaxaq, Hal Tarxien, the Mile End-Burmarrad school run and the demi-monde vortex/black hole of entertainments at Monte Kristo Estate and Consuelo-and-Robert’s house in Siggiewi.

You are forgetting that Jeffrey has just returned from a ‘high-level workshop’ in Slovenia.

Daphne, tinsiex li ahna ghandna lil Super Joseph, the Prudent One, li huwa PrattikamentPrimMinistru tal-Underdogs.
Tinsiex li dak kellu nannuh bidwi, u missieru igorr il-kaxxi – dan qalu hu stess pubblikament, waqt attakk personali fuqu nnifsu u fuq il-familja tiehgu fil-konferenza tal-Labour.
Imma hu spicca jiggieled mal-MultiNationals fi Brussels u jiehu stannnndd favur l-ilsien Malti fil-Parlament tal-Ewwwrrropa.
Dan se jkun is-Salvatur taghna. Amen.
Two politicians from the 1980s Mintoff era are seeking re-election, and can become ministers almost 25 years after they were last booted out.
[Daphne – Karmenu Vella was last booted out in 1998.]
