Not A question of prejudice

From Ms P. Crawford

So it is OK according to Daphne for three illegal immigrants to walk in front of a car that left the driver no choice but to stop.

Then to stand with hands on bull bar and start banging on the bonnet of same car; so that's OK as far as she is concerned.

Wonder how she would have felt had it been her in the same situation?

Having lived in the UK with these people, I know full well how intimidated you can feel especially when there are a number of them together in daylight, never mind at night. Good for Mario Mamo for reporting this. Not so for the police who dealt with him. What a laugh. Wonder if they could have identified them, what sort of idiot would ask such a question.

I believe this is a Maltese citizen we are talking about. What a way to be treated by the police force of your own country.

Malta is a small island. Beware! It has happened in the UK. It can also happen here. I am not against any one trying to live in a different country as long as they conform to the way we live. Can support themselves and not expect the country they choose to provide for them, and abide by the laws and arrive legally. These people do not look ill treated, hard up or any other thing you can think of and no I am not colour prejudiced. I had a number of coloured friends, still have a few but you move away and lose touch over the years.

Oh and should you wonder what I am doing living in Malta, I love your little island. I came here legally, paid my own way and the reason, you might ask. I ran away from the kids so as to have a peaceful life in my old age. Only one thing wrong; kids keep coming for a holiday.
