Maltese people who argue that their country should have never become an independent nation and instead remained a British colony are pretty fucking quiet right now, it has been confirmed.
Malta gained the right to self-determination on September 21, 1964. Since then, various people have argued that Maltese politicians have proven themselves to be too corrupt and incompetent to wield executive power, and that we would have been better off if the United Kingdom had never ceded control of the country.
However, an investigation by Bis-Serjeta revealed these people are not making so much as a fucking peep right now.
“I have nothing to say on the matter,” said Maltese Anglophile Richard Borg Tabone.
“No comment,” said UK fanboy James Cachia Zammit.
“I never once said Malta should still be part of the United Kingdom,” said William Micallef Trigona , who once wrote an opinion piece in The Times with the headline: ‘Why Malta should still be part of the United Kingdom’.
Meanwhile, the government has put forward a bill to declare that Malta never even knew the UK to begin with and that the European mainland has always been its best friend.
