labour never cease to amaze and amuse! this latest light bulb from toni is the limit so toni wants to open a supermarket with the takings finding themselves channeled into the mlp coffers. now if that’s not inviting segregation i don’t know what will. imagine a pn supporter shopping at such a place knowing that the money he spends there is being used against his own interest. on the other hand a labourite would choose to boycot all other supermarkets and buy labour sort of. and these people want to run the contry. incredible.

Eve, I would just place Jason teethy Micallef in one of the most horrendous stories of Anton Grasso…readers will be paid for buying this volume – they will definitely get to the bottom of the true, yet hidden (sic!) story of WHAT LED TO THE MISERABLE THIRD CONSECUTIVE DEFEAT OF THE MALTA LABLAB PARTY. Wow! Will this most defeated general secretary of the Malta Lablab Party tell us about how to misprint a political party’s manifesto, to what extent he failed to inform those concerend about vital pre-general elections decisions and the sharp edged sword which he used to behead so many good socialist brains to silence? I would be very keen to see him SMILING (apologies to all toothpaste companies and dentists) on 5 June…the beginning of the most confused, turbulent and divisive period in all the history of the Malta Lablab Party.

By the way…the Malta Lablab Party, under the inspiration of Abela ‘the wise’, are producing a special PANINI book to collect all the faces of the ever-increasing power-crazy contenders (it fits so well with the EURO Cup 2008 Panini players).

El Karkariz. But where shall you put Jason ‘il-peacock’ Micallef? May I suggest you engage him as salesman in the livestock department or, if no such vacancy exists, selling toothpaste (of the kind imposed on the long-suffering consumers during Labour’s golden years).

May I share with the ‘clever’ Maltese citizens a typical Noti-mhawwad-Abela-Malta-Lablab-SuperParty-hampers special offers, which won’t sell for the cheap price of a pistachio packet:

Anglu Farrugia selling pitazzi full of lovely pictures, showing angry Labour Party supporters hurling abuse at the Malta Loosers Party.

Evarist Bartolo (in tal-Muzew fashion mode) narrating stories about his ex beloved leader and guru Alfred Silent Sant.

Marie Louise Coleiro(ooooh) roaming around like Sandy Shaw selling her marvellous ideas to small kinder children wandering among market stalls.

Michael Falzon the Eurostar Singer, with his unique non-Pavarotti funny vocal sounds, entertaining toddlers in the playing red-carpeted area.

George Abela, who is allowed entry on condition he leaves his newly embraced supremo supporter Dom-forgotten-by-many-including-labour Mintoff, alone, far away from the last contender, the mighty short chap!

And here he goes, the know-it-all Joseph-bravissimo-Muscatino, ‘coi fiocchi’, an ‘alter Alfredus Santus’ (not ‘sanctus’), tieless, with browny-tipped legs, where ‘certain heights’ (physical and metaphysical) are merely impossible: the pre-destined guru for the undemocratic lot who are still abusing power from within.

Just a word about prices for above items: non-convertible to euros, funnily showing together a force of inseparable unity within the splittest socialist group on planet earth, peculiarly waving to people without being able to smile at each other…until 5th June 2008, their FATAL FREEFALL…with one undesirable exception.

Good luck to the poor buyers. The sellers are poorer (in mind and style).

@ Amanda – agree 100% with you. I would also add that state-run companies were, and to some extent are still being, used as employment agencies for the party faithful and well-connected. The State has no business running enterprises.

In my opinion the State should focus on 3 main areas; tax-collection, regulation and security; anything else should be left to the private sector.

Ronnie – The bank was not just state-run in Labour days – The private banks were first forcefully taken over from the shareholders by the then Labour government . No compensation has been given to any of them to date.

@Mcomb

Agree about Tigne. From a centre of creativity (in all senses of the word – God knows how many groups, ideas, nd babies were conceived there!) to what now seems to be a huge slum area. I always pass near the place with a heavy heart.

And Amrio, those were heady times indeed. Now Tigne’ has been given over to the mega magnate who would be willing to pour concrete over all Malta. You know what the result has been.

I have to agree with all of you on JM’s performance on Smash TV, his staring at the camera made him look like a complete nitwit who hasen’t ever appeared on TV. Even AS (who is the last person you would call telegenic) used to do better than him.

Amrio, regarding ST, you only have to read last Thursday’s Times Business front page story to get a feel of the situation they are in. Regarding MS, I cannot in all honesty see how cowboy Austin ‘Abdullah’ Gatt can keep the yards open when they are losing Lm 10 mn a year without a state subsidy. Perhaps they might re-absorb the workforce into govt depts like they did with IPSL excercise – another typical PN failure only marginally better than the much derided Labour corps of the 70’s and 80’s.
