OUT THEY CRAWL, THUGS ALL

In case you were wondering, the filthy racists are alive and well in Malta. They were just cowering under some rock or other, like the revolting cowardly insects that they are. The death in custody that is now the subject of a criminal prosecution dragged them out, their reptilian eyes blinking in the glare of publicity now that they have reminded us of their sad existence.

I was featured, along with the other members of Pullicino Orlando's imaginary "Gang of Four", as a target for the racists' undying love, through their Facebook page "Daqshekk ghall-Immigrazzjoni Illegali f'Malta" (loosely translated to "Enough to Illegal Immigration in Malta") I trust the Commissioner of Police, to whom I have emailed a copy of this blog to make sure he sees it, will detail his cyber-crime unit to assess whether the thinly-veiled threats are worth investigating. As far as I am concerned, it's an honour to be singled out like this, but there's a limit to everything.

I've no idea who really forms part of this group, though a glance at the membership list shows a number of faux militaristic-looking types who are tailor-made for this sort of gathering of scum, to say nothing of a good smattering of Labour "faces". Anyone who is part of this group and hasn't yet removed him or herself is either a sympathiser or incapable of managing basic internet functions: either way, they should be ashamed of themselves, especially if they are part of the group in order to hoover up some cheap votes.

Obviously, the law must now take its course and justice must be served. It will not be served, however, by equivocating and humming and hawing about racism: it should be condemned, roundly, once and for all, and by all. Opportunistic blame-games, finger-pointing and fence-sitting, especially by politicians who perceive a vote or two amongst the racists, are no longer acceptable responses.

Do I sound like I'm having a good rant? That's as may be, but racism gets me that way and if any filthy racist scum thinks anything of it, all I can say is, fine, bring it on.

@ Mr Joseph Carmel Chetcuti, today at 00:50.

No one beats you at jumping illogically to the wrong conclusion and then asking silly questions. If that tendency became more wide-spread Malta will never produce a philosopher of international fame.

@ FS

Can you try to explain that in plain English..?

What JCC is saying is perfectly logical.

let me therefore ask you a direct question (which, judging by your previous track record, you will no doubt refuse to answer):

Do you believe that it is ok to attack someone on the basis of their political association?

A 'yes' or 'no' will do but we will now no doubt be regaled with anything else but...

@ Ivan Grech Mintoff.

No! What JCC writes it is not logical at all. It is not OK to be prejudiced about anything, neither political association nor race. And that is not just "Great Maltese logic". It is a logic of universal application.

Yes! It is perfectly legitimate to critcise anybody for "political association" or for any other reason - but criticising is not an "attack". That is your kind of double-talk. According to your double standard, Nationalists attack but Labourites discuss.

I am not that stupid as to obey your command to answer only by a yes or a no when a logical reply requires a full sentence. I understand your need for simple answers restricted to those two monosyllables but you do not make the rules how I reply.

I have never neglected to answer any of your rare intelligent or borderline questions. I only ignore questions that do not desrve an answer.

I must have strained your brain activity beyond its breaking point. So Sorry.

Your latest comment consists of "cut & paste" sentences from my comment plus a solitary meaningless mono syllable "Ha". Do you continue to insist that I answer "yes" or "no" to that pearl of wisdom?

Prejudice means judging a person despite knowing little or nothing about what he is about. It does not apply to people who don't miss an opportunity to give their views on any subject under the sun.

I'm not so glad to see that the PN is resorting to such dirty tricks. Shame.

No dirty tricks but the plain truth; quite simply, "La verita' offende e come"!

Why not declare Malta a haven for anyone and everyone who can be brought to Malta by ship and dropped into a row boat? At some point, I am very sure that your own home will then have to be acquired by our so understanding PC leadership , who loves humanity so that more illegal persons can stay here in THEIR island?

@ Ivan Grech Mintoff.

The connection between thuggery and the Labour Party is not being made now by Dr S Borg Cardona. That thuggery was unashamedly and pridefully acclaimed by an MLP Prime Minster who, part of the way, accompanied the usual MLP violent mob on its way to ransack the Curia and, to add insult to injury, glorified those thugs as the aristocracy of the workers' movement for their evil deed. Credit where credit is due

Mr Camilleri, all I made was a statement of fact. If the Labourites on the page don't wish to be associated with it, as I would hope they don't, all they have to do is remove themselves, as anyone with the slightest interest in protecting his good name would. Insofar as concerns your statement about which political grouping is more racist, all I can say is that it is puerile. Re police violence, don't get me started.

Mr Camilleri, you can go and check it for yourself. All of a sudden they are removing their names from members of this page. The list contains (or contained up to a couple of days ago) no less than 21 of the 34 Labour MPs, and not a single one from the PN side. Makes one wonder.

This government woke up to police violence, and did something about it, as far back as twentyfive years ago, when it secured the conviction of an MLP Commissioner of Police for his complicity in the murder of a suspect whilst in police custody whereas for years previously that Commissioner of Police enjoyed the protection of an MLP prime minister.

With my hand on my heart, I would only care that my offspring, male (which he is) or female (which I don't have) is marrying someone decent. If you are racist deep down, that is your problem, not mine.

@ Victor Rodenas.

Please speak for yourself.
No! We are not all racists, very deep down. Most of us have the basic intelligence not to judge people solely by the colour of their skin.

@ Eddie Privitera.

And that "proof of the pudding" consists of a disgusting facebook that lists a host of MLP notables who do not remove their names from that list until public protests are lodged by the lobby combating racism.

@ Victor Rodenas:

Speak for yourself. We are not all racists deep down, and if I had a daughter, I would judge her future spouse on his character, and not on his provenance or the colour of his skin.

@ Eddy Privitera:

"Francis Saliba: The proof of the pudding is in the eating !".

So what are you suggesting? That we immediately rush to the bedroom to conceive a girl, wait impatiently until she grows up, and then convince her to marry a black immigrant just to prove you wrong? Don't be silly.
