2) Some people - Tanti, Matthew? - go through life blaming their misery on their location. They try London and hate it. They dream of Jamaica but not really viable. So they are stuck wherever it is they are stuck. They need to know that 'happiness' comes from within and has nothing to do with location. Except that, like in the marriage/divorce debate, if you are in a destructive one, marriage ie. you must out. Happiness, like location, is not another person. But another person can surely destroy you, especially if you fall victim to the Stockholm Syndrome.
Malta has more than enough of its own home-bred illegals. When an alien one escapes, let him go. Good riddance to destabiliser (unfortunately internation obbligations dictate otherwise). This means that said destabiliser returns to Malta. No mercy. One piece of destabilising influence back on MY doorstep. Malta, deal with it. If only there were a way, with a little help from your children, not to fall victim to the Stockholm Syndrome.
Meanwhile, nobody ever called me shameful. alhamdulillah - or something.
I think we should all shut up and entrust the solution to our woes to our political leaders

1) I have been told in no uncertain terms that, as an ex-patriate, I have no right to pontificate. Nice one. And I say, I will fight for anyone to express their opinion. This gives them all the rope they need to hang themselves. And I will recognise them by the colour of the shirt. As for pontification, I leave that to the pontiff, he who refuses condoms to black africans so they can multiply, be indoctrinated and replenish a dwindling catholic poplulation in Europe. Not unlike a healthy lawn being destroyed by an alien weed.
I am an atheist (I see Opus Dei for what it is, in other words) and a homosexual to boot. Those are insufferable disclosures to many. But such disclosure make me untouchable (as in 'disarm' your attacker in you're OK). Anyone who is stupid enough to attack me on those fronts is only damaging themselves. But will they listen? Some people MUST have something to hate in order to justify their miserable existence. Meanwhile, I just sail on, sails billowing, the wind behind me. An untouchable.

2) Pari passo, of course, many African nations - they too attained independence. Large, vast, resourceful countries But, bar few exceptions, their independence was not our success story (keeping in mind too that Malta never colonised anybody - our country is just too tiny and fragile but a dear people, alas not all! more than make up for that). Rich origins or not, for religious reasons or not, many, too many want a piece of Europe. I wonder why? Europe, and indeed everywhere, to be sure, is apt to change. It has happened/evolved in the past, often bloodily. It will/has too, again. That is the natural order (if bloddy as I said). It's happening now. Some seem unruffled by this unfolding chain of events. Personally, I do not approve of the way it is happening. I do not approve of change by stealth. At the end of the day, Europe will change and I won't be here. I just don't want what I've loved and been enriched by, imperfect as it was at times, to change so. Gradual change is acceptable and normal. Anything more drastic is sinister. I'm European. And proud of it. And can't help it. That's all.

Feb 11th 2010, 23:46

1) I've said this before but it bears repetition. Malta was colonized since forever. The last time by the British. Malta's resource, its only one, its strategic position/people. This is what I've always believed. The British gone, the strategic position went with them.. Malta was on its own, built a tourist industry and investment facilities with British knowhow. Facilitated by an British style education system and a common religion. Integration with our colonisers was considered but came to nought. Malta was on its own. And Malta made a go of things. Tourism/investment and willingness for honest work saw us through. We had not first hand knowledge of high mountains and mighty rivers. We used our imagination as decent people emerging not so long before from a devastating war that cost us everything and gave us nothing bar a cross and recognition. We felt no need to call conferences to proclaim that so-and-so's daughter/son down the road was reading at age two. No need. But we did produce stalwarts of world magnitude. Malta was independent and decent by its own effort. Tourism became our mainstay and grew. Until recently, when it had a setback. I wonder what went wrong?

3) This is a wily tactic but no more. Politicians are expert at it. But it is worthless because it is so transparent it's laughable).
I enjoy writing these, and other, comments. As pieces aiming to convince they are worthless (the hurdles are not so much high but cemented to the ground). But it is amazing how others' shallown ess inspires, formulates, and consolidates, one's thoughts, ready to be shot from the hip. So to speak. Much thanks.
Grima. What an interesting take! You don't know me other than what I write here and elsewhere. Yet you are not ashamed to make these sweeping accusations. Very telling if I may say so. Scrub that - I DO say so. For all you know I have done missionary work in five continents and speak severnteen African dialects including Maltese. But your imagination would not stretch to that I guess. With such paralytic paucity, I can only wish you luck. You, like many, sound fearful of your future and you are trying to shore up that fear somehow. As I said, I wish you luck. And projecting whatever it is you are about onto others won't help you any. That I promise.

Joe Xuereb

Feb 11th 2010, 18:58

2) I get the feeling that MANY Maltese are undergoing various levels of fear for their future. Some fear may be overblown, depending on personality. But fear, like stereotyping, is based on something and that something is there, visible and tangible. I would hazard that there are considerably more than the fingers I have on one hand of this sort of Maltese.
In the other camp I sense (and see/hear) the Maltese who are determined not to be stirred and shaken. That is up to them. But they do have their followers.
Malta is a Catholic country, steeped in dogmatic indoctrination. As in 'if you behave, nothing will happen to you' sort of thing, an attitude often, too often, an infantilism carried over into adulthood. They are trained to hope against hope that if they sit quietly and pray hard enough, somehow the bogey man will be gone when they wake up in the morning. A blanket term for this is what we call 'the tactic of denial' (most visible among those who tend to respond to an interlocutor by picking on what they deem to be a chink in his/her armour, a weak link).

1) I note some 'mistakes' in my previous comment. No problem. I speak/like I think/like I speak. Touch type. And submit. No deliberation, no consultation, what you see is what you get. No convolution. But experience a-plenty. That's it. Cogitation and experience. Proffers dignity and gravitas. And ensures against appearing stupid. And agenda-ridden. Look at this little wonder: http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html

Self-congratulation of course has no limits with some ambitious people. That apart, 'one swallow does not a Summer make'. Let us say that, in this instance, this is a very good swallow. But damn my country on this one swallow (with respect to this swallow and countless other good ones)? So, I would be very naive to insist that if there is a good swallow, the rest must be similar siblings. Especially when I know - and admit, very important this - that many of the siblings swallows are migrating via, let's say, unusual flight-paths.
Now for some statistics. No, not ones that statisticians cook, but real ones. Social observers are good at this even from afar. Call it sixth sense.

2) It would be nice to think that some could make some effort to understand what they read (level of communication skills in Malta do not stand up to scrutiny, maybe?) Not my fault. Nothing to do with me. I left when I was just this high) Reassuring like, that Malta - my country going down the drain - may, perhaps, maybe, get on its feet. One day. With a little help from its own. But agendas - deliberate, misguided or merely sinister - can be tough hurdles to overcome I regret to say. And self-serving ignorance too. I almost self-serving ignorance.
I can understand why none of my pointers are picked upon. I cannot make things clearer. But these these, the inarticulate whichever way, have a ruse, a copout. 'You're entitled to your opinion' they say. And they walk away, refusing to engage. Because, really, they are incapable of real engagement. Sign of the times? General insecurities? I've seen it happening.

1) The problem with debates between two kinds of debater, on the one hand a lateral-thinking, three-dimentional character PLUS EXPERIENCE (and living abroad only counts if one is intelligent enough to absorb - applies to any travel, touristy or residential) and the other an obdurately (agenda?) two-dimentional cardboard cutout - never the twain shall meet.
Mattew, London is a tough city, these days especially. People who are willing to give a decent day's work for a decent day's pay will survive. For this reason many drift and seek some sort of comfort in futile day-dreaming.
Judging by comments on treads such as this, I' wouldn't say that patriots are in the minority. A patriot is, by definition, somebody who gives a damn for his/her country. How could it be otherwise in the face of the current situation? Commonsensical to anyone able to see beyond two inches in front of their nose. Of course one can dream and hope that in the distant future, there will be a Maltese culture etc. for foreigners to inherit. What WHAT?! As likely as me flying to the Bahamas or to a safari in Kenya. Not my cup of tea as we say.

Mattew. quoting your so untypical good self: 'one might as well choose not to live in london!' - but visiting is OK it seems. Don't tell me you come all the way to stock up on cheap stuff from Petticoat Lane (if you'll pardon the stereotype, but there you are!)? Make up your mind for your own sake. Talking of stereotyples, as long as there is at least one sample of whatever it is one is steretoyping - stereotypes not usually materialising from limpid air - then stereotyping is justified. The stereotyper of course hopes that his reader is intelligent enough to read between the lines. It is as simple as that. Works like a charm. According to my mayor Boris Johnson.
I thought that homosexuals fighting off stereotypical images of themselves - which exist, see above - died the death yonks ago. But some people are stuck in the past. But that is there funeral, their outlook. What am I, a funeral director, looking out for clients? Hahahaha. You make me laugh.

2) That said, in Jamaica you could survive by borrowing or nicking or fasting (not really an option for a beach-bum idly peddling his bum on an empty stomach, ekeing out his days), stealing would be a serious crime. In London, because you are Maltese, a citizen of an EU member country, we will feed you for free, called Unemployment Benefit. If you still decide to top up your income illegally, there are prisons and fines). A sort of 'sunny Jamaica' in some countries would, of course, see your hand chopped off and other accoutrements too if you really misbehaved. So really, the choice is between Jamaica (and its ladies) and London. In Malta of course, if you misbehave you'll get the best deal of all - a suspended. And mama's minestrone when youre hungry. Methinks I see Mattew in comfy Malta for the foreseeable future. Maybe I'll see you when I get there if I can ever get away from this big freeze we're having. Ah! for a platt of mum's minestra to warm the cockles of my heart!

1) @ Mattew (Tanti, I think). If you fancy Jamaica London can offer its food, music, colourful enclaves, the lot. And more if that's your scene. If you see what I mean. But not much sun. Hey! you can't have everything. Not forgetting of course, depending on your religiosity on any given day, the plentiful women, many v. beautiful, some available for one's money, or free, for one's Maltese charms (nudge! nudge!). I am assuming here that you are a hot-blooded Maltese heterosexual. No apologies if you are homosexual like me although I wouldn't have you anywhere near my club.
Jamaica. I can imagine you as a beach-bum in Jamaica. With all that London has to offer plus sun, sun and more sun of course. Jamaica wins hands down. But wait a minute. Man does not live by bread alone. He needs bread (food), bread (money) for bread (aka ganga) - if that's your scene. After so many hours bumming on a Jamaican beach, the stomach starts to rumble. In Jamaica they MAY have a S.S System but I doubt it would be as freely given as in London.

Reading the comments one may come to believe that the European culture and Christianity are the monopoly of civilization and the beacon for mankind. Ironically, we often forget that Christianity along with Judaism and Islam were born in the Middle East and were occasionally imported to Europe as one coin. The very simple fact that Christianity was born in the Middle East by default aggrandize this region of the globe.

To all those who forget I would like to ask, have they ever had a 20th or 21st century conversation? Do they really know their own history or where they originated from?

@ Ron Saliba

Most African nations have enjoyed independence longer than Malta has. Most of them have some form of democracy, so the people choose who governs.

Even if there were teething troubles, and of course there were, after a couple of generations it should have been ironed out. In any case importing Africa's problems to Europe is going to make two unstable continents.

Africa is going through a painful process, but this is necessary for it to find its feet. Europe was in a similar state as well. For centuries, European countries were constantly at war with each other and famines and pestilence were the order of the day.

It is unfortunately a necessary phase, but it will be better in the end. Look at Angola, after so much bloodshed, it is now finding its feet and prospering. The West must let this natural process run its course otherwise it will never end.

However well intentioned, the do-gooders are not helping in this natural healing process.

The main problem of all this is that in the Past ALL Africa was colonies of european countries. When these were granted independence, the former colonies gave control of the countries to whoever they deemed fit, which of course is the reason why Africa is in such a sorry state.

Now, unfortunately no one in europe mentions this (the main culprits being france,belgium, uk), and people with no knowledge blame the immigrants, when in fact they should be blaming the the other european countries who created this mess in the beginning.

You only have to look at Rhodesia - Zimbabwe to see what they are capable of.

I do not know this guy's country of origin. So I cannot assume that he is an illegal immigrant or not. That is not up to me to decide.

Unfortunatly, the situation is now such that Malta, and countries all over, are now bound by international obligations. If these were not in place, and he was an illegal itinerant, it would be a simple case of throwing him out plus his relatives if they really exist. It could be doing him and his country of origin a favour believe me. Why is everybody wanting to leave their country because it is hot? Surely it cannot be more uncomfortable than being in Europe with no rights to one's name, other than some dubious internation obligation. No way to live. What am I supposed to do? Bleed my guts over anyone who decides to want to live with me in Europe? What am I, humanity's saviour? humanity's depository?

It may have been his intention but not all intentions are legal and intending to enter a country illegaly without a visa or documents is most definetely not legal.

This individual should be deported back to his home country.

Why don't they put their money where their mouth is and keep them there?
Why don't they give us an example of solidarity in the eu capital?

He should have gone to the UNHCR or the JRS in Belgium and applied for asylum because he was unhappy in Malta and his human rights were being broken. You know, the potatoes are too white and they don't give you enough sauce with your chicken.
