Why do we have to politicise everything in the country? Why do five babies born on New Year’s Day at Mater Dei Hospital have to be associated with the introduction of the euro? Enter the “euro babies” (TMID, 2 January).

How utterly stupid! Maybe John Bundy and I do not agree with each other on a political level but I sure agree with him when he sung Pajjiz tal-Mickey Mouse. Euro babies – so disgusting, as if they were actually bought and paid for with euros!

Editorial note: Ms Borg has every right to agree or disagree with the newspaper headline. But she did not do her party any favours by resorting to passing offensive remarks. Is this the new beginning that the Labour Party has been advocating?
