Why aren't foreign offenders expelled after serving their sentence? Why are we allowing foreign criminals to remain in Malta?

That is British mentality my friend, that is why some 250 years ago the British were transported to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread and probably a jam doughnut, thus the term Pommies (meaning ) Prisoners of mother England) damn right too. We are more civilized in Malta, this is why the aussies prefer us the Maltese to the British as a hard working nation. G'day Mate.
