Maltastar warns: the Gestapo are heading your way
Wherever he is, he must take exception to Maltastar's facile equation of the horrors of Nazi Germany to the tragic travails listed here.
The Labour Party has scriped its own version of the admonishment attributed to Martin Niemoeller, and had it published on Maltastar. Grit your teeth and press on.
ANTHEM OF THE LET DOWN NATIONALIST
Wednesday, 21 Mar 2012, 04:01
First they came for the monies given to parents of children with disabilities
And I did not speak out because my children were not disabled.
Then they had only one vote in Parliament in three months,
And I did not speak out because I thought this was not my problem.
Then they came for the poorest families, removed subsidies and raised bills,
And did not speak out because I could pay my bills.
Then they came and refused promotions to Labour people,
And I did not speak out because I was not Labour.
Then they paid Labour people who worked in a Valletta restaurant less
And I did not speak out because my family did not work in that restaurant.
Then they issued death threats to Labour people and wished heart attacks on Labour mothers,
And I did not speak out because my mother was already dead.
Then they came for me, my livelihood and my family,
But there was nobody left to speak out for me.

“But there was nobody left to speak out for me.”
Kif, lanqas Franco Debono, Joe Debono Grech, JPO, Mugliett, Cyrus u il-president tal-MUMN?
Why is the MUMN run by a bunch of sour men when most of the members are women?
Probably, because they are paid very well and when there is the annual general meeting, the bosses do their best to block women candidates.
Then they came for my brain cells, but found there were none.
So after Francis of Assisi, it’s now Martin Niemoeller.
Who’s next? Mahatma Gandhi?
Or Vicky Pollard from Little Britain?
The next one is from is-Sur Gawdenz. That will avoid them the hassle of having to adapt it.
Maaaaaaaaaa, x’biza!
Wara ix-xibka ta’ spjunagg nazzjonali li svela il ONE il-gimgha l-ohra, u l-attakki sfrenati sfaccati fuq ic-cittadini qabel l-elezzjonijiet tal-kunsilli lokali, issa gejjin tal-Gestapo ukoll?
Imnalla hemm il-POODLE nazzjonali ha jsalvana minnhom.
I must have missed something but apart from all the other c*** what is this Valletta restaurant story?
[Daphne – A silly remark made in the privacy of a council meeting and recorded by a sleaze, which isn’t true anyway. The last time I went, Julian Galea’s restaurant employees were not even Maltese, still less Labour or Nationalist.]
If Labour had to open a supermarket, would Nationalists be employed? I would assume, following Jason Micallef’s statements, that none are currently employed at ONE. Even though he deems it a commercial station.
And what’s Labour mothers anyway? I thought mothers labour.
I can’t see why you say “it isn’t true” when even Julian apologised. Whether it’s true or not is now irrelevant; the fact is he said them.
[Daphne – Is the fuss about the fact that he said it, or that he does it? They are two different things. Saying it is stupid, but doing it is wrong. He doesn’t do it, and common sense alone should tell you that. If you hold Labour supporters in such contempt, you don’t employ them and pay them ‘less’. You don’t employ them at all, and give the job to somebody you actually do like.]
I’m sure he didn’t mean them, I know Julian,but the fact is he did, and he is paying for his mistake.
We needed him in Sliema, hope that next time he will be wiser.
[Daphne – I agree. The irony is that the Labour Party seems to believe that in the scale of Sliema councillor wrong-doing, saying what Julian did ranks right at the top, while a criminal act for which Cyrus Engerer is being prosecuted ranks not at all, so much so that they embraced him.]
In actual fact I am certain that HE DOESN’T do it.
We should just consider it as a slip of the tongue, and the sooner we forget all about it, the better. You see, sometimes we agree.
As regards to Cyrus, he is what he is, and we shouldn’t expect any better from him.
And these people are going to govern us one day ?
Then Labour came to power, and everybody lived happily everafter.
Then Joseph and his prima donna ruled over the land backed by Toni and the GWU and by all those who by then had taken off their sheep’s clothing.
And no one dared to speak or complain, because those who dared would face the new Brigata Laburista in their Hugo Boss uniforms.

Mount Carmel Hospital should not accept criminals as a cushy alternative to Corradino Prison.
Former Chief Justice Noel Arrigo was accommodated here, because of people like him, psychiatric patients in real need will suffer.
Then they came for my balls
And I gave them the left one.
Lucky you didn’t work at the Drydocks, otherwise Mintoff would have accused you of not having any to give, at all!
And probably you would have been forced to clap.
New (or not so new) Labour is certainly labouring to impress.
Today’s howler on The Times, page 18, caption under Winston Churchill’s photograph: US President Winston Churchill.
What has The Times come to? We used to be told to read the Times to improve ourselves and our English. Not anymore alas!
” And than they came for the P.N.Bazuzli
They found none.
They had all migrated to Monte Carlo.
Re RIFF RAFF
Mintoff took all ours away when we were among over 5,00o workers at the Dockyard
Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox.
What’s next? Copying the iPad?
The new Labour. It’s Resolutionary!
It’s all about the resolution.
This is a great insult to the suffering of others. Who wrote that? where was it published? Who could have such a sick mind? I am sure the MLP will distance themselves from such sick humour.
May I ask Maltastar to tell us who ‘they’ are?
Strange. An organ led by a former communist (once a communist, always a communist) quoting an anti-communist pastor.
Bonhoeffer must be spinning in his grave. Qatta’ injoranti bic-certifikati bhall-iehor
Then they came and actually deported me to an extermination camp.
And I did not speak out because I had my head too far up my arse writing dramatic verse on Maltese trivialities.
Then they came for my bank account
And I gave them my mother-in-law’s.
I somehow suspect it’s Marisa Micallef writing this rubbish. We all recall her first (and last?) letter to the editor of The Times, the Red Blue Prince, when she joined Labour.
Was this during the Seventies and Eighties and Lorry Sant’s and Fussellu’s time?
