Do you feel like protesting?

While the Maltese media worries itself over Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando, over who will be taking Joe Saliba's place, how lovely the new nationalist headquarters is and speculating over how much fun the important Maltese personalities had on Xarabank's cruise; in Europe and in other parts of the world there exist the first protests against the persistent rise in the prices of petrol and diesel.

In the following video it appears that there are problems in England, with fighting in the squares, strikes in Spain and India and even shortages at Lisbon airport which remains without petrol and diesel supplies.

The Maltese also seem very worried. In fact there were many who hung the flag of Italy from upon their roofstops in a show of solidarity since the country imports 38% of its oil from Libya and since the Italian People will yet be royally screwed by this predicament.

The Italian government has already had the foresight to station soldiers by peoples' residences and increasing the military presence on the streets so as to prevent the eventuality of somebody sparking a revolt.

Gonzi is not at all worried. He sent his soldiers on a quick course for partnership for peace. Gonzi has peace of mind with the Maltese people and should there be even an inkling of a problem he'd call his buddy Pierre Portelli to hurry up and make a new edition of l-iSpjun but without having trouble with Endemol because otherwise he'll have to increase the licensing fees for television and run the risk of street protests. It appears also that Peppi is safely planted within both PBS and ONE TV's journalism. Hence there is nothing to worry about.

When the people lose the conscience of their own rights, any who rise into power are indifferent. The people will always remain a slave populace. Liberty is not born from above but from below.

There is active corruption that consistently violates others' rights. There is passive corruption that consists of allowing this to happen.

You can fight the foreign enemy. You can fight against tyrants. You can fight against a vicious oligarchy. But you cannot fight against a people who have lost their conscience.

Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando is right to remain uncaring of Gonzi or the phantom ethics of politics. It is not Orlando who should be upholding ethics but Gonzi through risking the loss of the seat beneath his buttocks with respect to those whom had put him there.

Keep it up Jeffrey! You have the solidarity of myself as well of the indifferent.

The following video depicts a protest by Spanish farmers over the price of oil and also, improbably but allegedly because a person was going to try and illegally build a discotheque on some sensitive land who also happened to be a member of parliament who vowed that he wouldn't be resigning.
Had he also vowed upon his children, then there would be an even bigger probability that he'd resign.

I want to join the boy scouts. I repeat: I want to join the boy scouts.
