Now we know for sure who's the chosen one

Maltova Zarb and the General Workers Union are behaving as though George Abela is not interested in the leadership of the Labour Party. You’d imagine that after he put the GWU (but definitely not Zarb, which might explain things) second in his order of priorities after his wife and before the Labour Party (bad idea), they would be out in the streets waving his flag.

Ah, but no. Zarb likes the pet poodle. The pet poodle is a regular feature of the L-orizzont pages, writing columns and inane articles about how he had a dream.

So the GWU are backing the fluffy one, and using Josef Stalin’s method of pretending that Somebody Else doesn’t exist. Get the information here.

    The obvious paraphrase of “I have a dream”, of course, is taken from one of the most famous speeches in American political history, from Martin Luther King’s speech in Washington, DC, on the famous march, not much before his later assassination in Memphis. That Joseph Muscat should so blatantly borrow from it is the height of self-agrandizement–and a sacrilege to the memory of one of America’s truly greats.

    @Edward, Joseph Muscat thought nothing of quoting lines from My Way in answer to an interviewer’s question. He’s just plain shallow.

    I wonder if he will change his tune if he doesn’t make leader.
    From
    I have a dream

    to

    I had a dream
    Crazy dream.
    Anything I wanted to know

    With all due respect to Led Zep
