Words that will go down in Maltese political history

This is not Josie Muscat. Muscat wears coloured stripes, not white sheets.This is not Josie Muscat. Muscat wears coloured stripes, not white sheets.

“First they laugh at you, then they ignore you. Then they fight with you, then you win. These words were uttered by none other than Gandhi, the man who fought against the British Empire, not against erbat iqlafat ta’ gurnalisti who are trying to destroy what we are fighting for. Newspaper writers are such hypocrites. We have recognised the right to hunt and they have written against us. Such jealous and spiteful people! This is simply because they never managed to do anything worthy with their lives. Let me tell you what hypocrites these people are. France and England spend massive amounts of money on weaponry and they say nothing. And then when they see a bird dying they cry and don’t sleep – for a bird. We are not scared of them. AN is calling on the government, the newspapers, the Opposition and the EU to do something about this. We will stop hunting when they disarm. And not even then, because hunting is a Maltese pastime.”

“How can we have disciplined families without fathers? The newspapers report that we are against single mothers. On the contrary, we are defending women. These journalists are cwiec bla mohh. These liberals want Malta to end up looking like a zoo, where we all end up jumping on one another. This is the situation the liberals want – the same liberals who write against us in the newspapers, those who have described AN as a party that aims to take us back to the days of our grandparents.”

“The more you attack us, the more we speak. If you, the liberals, are attacking us it means that we’re right. So let them look up the history of all our candidates since their birth. As if I’m scared of those erbat iqlafat.”

– Josie Muscat, head of Azzjoni Nazzjonali (since resigned) while campaigning in Haz-Zebbug

    Another case of good riddance ….

    Is it me or do we have more than our fair share of these .. err ‘kind of people’ in Malta?

    All we need now is a statement from the troll with the stick to say he got such a pathetic result because he was censured by PBS

    Now there is a group of people (hunters) who manage to cheese me off big time.

    I have a dream, of a meeting being held by the PN/MLP/AD, and an undertaking extracted from all parties to work together as ONE. In the dream, the parties turn around and tell these people where to get off.

    Let’s be honest. They seem to always crawl out at elections and try to blackmail the parties into making rash promises. Sod them. Why should they get any special treatment?
    Mind you I am sure this will remain a dream, as expecting parties to work together, and to trust each other is just that, a dream. But what the hell, it makes a change from the one where I win the lottery.

    I can’t say I’d be sorry to see the back of AN. They’ve been far too offensive to too many people – and that’s just their billboards. However, if they go, I will miss the entertainment factor. The pottily frequent and frequently potty announcements did have their humorous side.

    Posted on di-ve March 12 2200CET: “Dr Lawrence Gonzi has created three new parliament secretaries: the secretary for Tourism, the secretary for public dialogue and Information and the secretary for Revenues and Land”.

    That’s one up on the Good Lord Himself. How could Fredu stand a chance?

    BTW, this site is becoming more entertaining than The Sun and the News of the Screws combined. Not sure that’s a compliment, imma …

    Why I like Daphne…

    Daphne is the kind of person who sees reality as it is…and splashes this right across one’s face.
    You can hate her or love her for that

    I used the word ‘sees’ but there is much more to appreciate in her. She is very well documented and has a great innate ability to articulate ‘people thoughts’ who are otherwise hapless to do it themselves ’
    At times when watching or hearing news broadcasts I have the inbred intuition of the thousand and one hidden agendas in them…
    I am exasperated ( ninharaq ) and screaming
    What!? Why!? How!? When!? Where!?
    Finally I comfort myself by accepting the fact that information is still not a right. But a gratuitous gift…out of magnanimity. Worse still the multitudes are fed morsels, distorted remnants of half-truths.

    Daphne is a voice.

    Keep it up

    I spent between 1987 and 2001 in Malta and Ms CG is definately the best journalist that list spit in the Med ever produced.

    I may not always agree with her but she got the intestinal fortitude to take-on anyone and produce the facts.
