“Too small to help immigrants, but big enough to pay for her holiday in Las Vegas”

Mark Anthony Sammut’s blog-post about Labour’s equal opportunities officer Rachel Tua, her xenophobic rant against African immigrants, and her freeloading trip to Las Vegas – do be sure to read it. What a shame this sensible and rational young man wasn’t elected to parliament, which is truly made up of representatives of the people.

    As usual Labour goes all sloppy when it comes to supposed coherence.

    The problem with people like Tua is their syllogical method. But that’s due the inherent prejudice.

    Now when she’s Labour’s ‘equal opportunities’ officer, it puts her party at a disadvantage. Ergo, kick her out.

    I suppose they should know this.

    This sentence of yours makes two statements.

    a) It’s a shame that he wasn’t elected to parliament. Perfectly agree as I’m proud to have given him my first preference, even though I only know him through his blog-posts.

    b) “Parliament is truly made up of representatives of the people.” For such a statement you have been called a snob, self-righteous, superior, condescending and overbearing towards ‘the people’. I, together with many others, share the same view and I am not afraid to be called (as I have already been) by the same popular (or is it populist?) labels.

    Well done, Mark. Well done, Daphne. You are a beacon of sanity, intelligence and clear thinking in this otherwise stagnant patch.

    [Daphne – I am not even remotely snobbish or superior as those who actually do know me will attest. I am merely factual. Maltese society is what it is. And those who call me ‘snobbish’ have obviously failed to notice that my most scathing observations are about my own kind, largely because I am perfectly positioned for accuracy and because that demographic contains some of Malta’s most cretinous, tedious and insufferable types, their in-bred stupidity and irrationality being largely responsible for their decision to support the Labour Party in this most recent general election but also, secretly, in the one before that, which they are now pretending they never did.]

    This voice should get louder. It’s a good one.

    The article he wrote is simply superb.

    If only he had been co-opted into Gonzi’s vacated seat.

    Very well expressed article. I too think that it is a shame that he is not a MP. Keep it up, Mark. Malta needs more decent people like you in politics.
