And no, Mizz Sharon, I am not Alice Vella and spying on you on Facebook.
One of your FB friends sent me this.
So you’re against the music industry protecting its rights, are you?
Well, what a surprise from a BMW-driving anarchist married to a near-professional conspiracy theorist who thinks that the CIA blew up the Twin Towers.
If our politicians are representative of Maltese society as a whole, then I’m a little bit surprised that the funny farm isn’t a whole lot larger than it is.

No2EU, but working in the EU kinda sums it up nicely.
Dream on, Sharon.
I love the youuuuuuu(h)uuuuuuuu.
I never realised Lennon was a subliminal promoter of things that stick.
Maybe she could team up with Astrid Vella and put together a Maltese version of Absolutely Fabulous.
They’ll probably set up something similar to a Mile End Musical with a primary school mentality (sorry, nothing high school for these persons have a little kiddie attitude, and what an attitude!)
With Joe iż-Żejża making a guest appearance. They’ll need someone with a bust, after all.
and Manu Maltes as a prop.
Antoine, tal-Labour need more candy-dates like Joe iz-Zejza. So far, they have kept their policies close to their chest. Now they can even hide them down their cleavage.
Please don’t! Absolutely Fabulous happens to be one of my favourite shows and I won’t see it turned into something like “Deceduti”
She wouldn’t share the EU with us, imagine why she tried.
There goes Mrs. Kev, Labour’s Eurosceptic MEP candidayt, ridiculing the music industry. Would be good to know what Grace Borg thinks about that.
Labour is safe (or is it save?) for business.
And here are her testimonials from Labour’s top cream:
Anglu Farrugia
Joseph Muscat
Karmenu Vella
Justyne Caruana
Tony Agius Decelis

Sharon is like a hunter working for Bird Life.
“So you’re against the music industry protecting its rights..”
Not at the expense of losing mine in the process.
I see a plagiarism law suit.
These kind of “allies” leave a sour taste to one’s mouth. Thanks a bunch Simon and PN, I really appreciate how you and your chums’ stance on ACTA is driving me to share my bed with strange and criminal bedfellows.
“…a BMW-driving anarchist married to a near-professional conspiracy theorist ”
A lovely couple, don’t you think?
yuuuuuuhhhuuuuuuuu…

Perhaps she is one of those ‘intellectual’ Labourites who took a position against ACTA without actually reading it.
Possibly. I really have no stand on the matter because I too don’t know what it is really about (and not that great an inclination to find out – like Daphne I tend to have faith in smart people avoiding taking actions that are truly dumb, so I’m quite sure we’ll be OK – and if mistakes are made, they will be sorted) but Times of Malta comment-board-warriors who can barely spell yet have an unshakeable opinion on ACTA really get to me.
The overwhelming concern of just one of them, for example, was that the film and record producing companies were making millions at “his” expense… go figure, as the Yanks would say.
Conversely, a lot of smart people post on here and the arguments are interesting, but till the day (if it comes) that I bother to read what ACTA is about first-hand, I’ll sit on the fence, thankyou.

Watching Bondi+. With a mug of Earl Grey. Edward Scicluna, Labour’s Star candidayt on the economy, is on. The one who believed that university stipends are to be converted into loans.
Lou Bondi asks what Labour’s proposals about jobs are.
Scicluna says: “Mela dawn gimmicks?”
Bondi: “Le fuq proposti qed insaqsik.”
Scicluna: “Mela din tal-one liner?”
Bondi: “Le, fuq proposti jahasra.”
Scicluna: “blah blah blah…”
Bondi: “Ok, fuq il-proposti ghadna daqsxejn lura milli jidher…”
Last night on Super One radio, many people rang in to praise Joe Debono Grech and call for him to be made a cabinet minister when Labour is elected.
Incredible, but true. So much for the NEW Labour movement.
On the same show, Edward Scicluna made various dark references to the ‘circle of evil” and “dik” mil- Bidnija u “dak” li jikteb fit-Times.
[Daphne – How sad to see he’s become One of Them, with his ‘dik mil-Bidnija’ remarks, but then he probably always was. He wouldn’t have joined that sorry mess of a party if he hadn’t been.]
Unbelievable. Professor Edward Scicluna, Labour’s Star Candidayt and Prattikament Minister of Finance, has just told the nation on Bondi+ that in 2005, the FOI engaged him as a secretary to write a report about the 2006-2010 pre-budget document.
This is the FOI, which in the same document was telling government to cut costs. Engaging a University Professor and former Chairman of the MFSA as a secretary.
Labour has now followed suit, and has engaged “economist” AAron Farrugia as a secretary of its manifesto. As a typist.
This statement made on TVM by the professor is worse than his statement about the stipends. But the fact remains, however, that in 2005, he was commissioned by the FOI to draw up a report, and in that report he called upon the government to change tertiary education stipends into a soft loan. That is exactly what the poorer families need in 2012/2013.
But in the 2005 paper, Professor Edward Scicluna, acting as secretary to the FOI, also told the government that manpower levels in the government and institutions (read authorities, boards, government agencies etc) were unsustainable. Can Professor Scicluna be made to answer about that as well?
It seems that under Labour, the poorer families will get two important blows. The breadwinner risks being made redundant, and the children asked to take a soft loan to pay for their tertiary education.
Vote Labour, get Labour.
“2. Tertiary education student allowances
Unlike the Dutch disease, this clearly unsustainable scheme has no precedent in other countries. As with any unsustainable programme, even though the problem could be foreseen way back in the early 90s, time tends to exacerbate the problem and bring it into sharp focus. Malta has reached that stage now. While proportionately (as percent of GDP or percent of Government expenditure) it devotes its average share to education, more than half that amount is given to students as allowance, with little or no strings attached. It can be shown that if it is considered as a social programme than it happens to be a very regressive one. It is a very unproductive use of scarce resources, since it tends to divert them away from high yield investment, as with education proper, into conspicuous consumption (cars, mobiles and entertainment). Since tertiary education has been shown to give high returns to its recipients there is no reason why the person involved should not share in their personal investment by getting a soft loan.”

What you say is very true but nothing compares to how the discussion ended.
Edward Scicluna must have regretted mentioning the increase in ministers’ salary. Tonio Fenech was excellent. However he should have added that while ministers pay a considerable amount of their salaries in taxes, Scicluna’s salary is tax free.
True, Maryanne. Did Prof. Edward Stipend-Soft-Loans Scicluna say his salary was Euro 5,000 per week?
