Xewka – Mintoff may have been in power at the time my siblings and I were children, but our education has certainly got nothing to do with him, seeing that we never attended government schools – not even when we were locked out of our own.

@ Corinne As a matter of fact since I started reading this blog I have decided to vote PN.
Maybe my problem is that I studied under a PN government, maybe schools under Dr L Galea were not that efficient, in teaching us English. Now look at you, you were at school under Mintoff and see how good you are.

That would explain then, why this morning Super 1 radio was referring to some visit GUZI Muscat was attending or about to attend in Gozo.

Go GUZ, go!

Sybil, you ask who Joseph uses for PR. The answer is his wife, Lil Din. She was Sant’s PR consultant, too….way to go.

I see that Sybil still thinks it is witty (though God knows why) to write Jospeh as Gowzef.

I suppoze that means we can write Zibil instead of Sybil

If Football is translated as “futbol” and budget become “bagit”, what is so wrong with writing Joseph as “Gowzef”?
What is the Malteser version of J O S P E H, btw?

I suppose Sybil has taken a spunt from L-orizzont and its rawdabawts (without the n sound).

@Anthony;

It’s understandable to be tempted to say , “Well, let’s all give the new boy a chance to settle in”. Unfortunately this Gowzef’s first actions as MLP leader are starting to sound off the alarm bells for some.

After the much-publicized hugging and kissing of old Mintoffian ex-ministers associated with some of the darkest years in this country’s recent history, there was the well known Mintoffian tactic of appointing multiple yes-men in key shadow positions to consolidate absolute power on all that he surveys . Today, Gowzef and Gayzin trotted off to Tarxien to pay their respects to no less then THE Perit himself. Very reassuring and wise moves made to endear him to the over-forties floaters who make and break a general election result.
Who do you emply for PR ,Gowz?

Ix-Xewka is not saying current ministers weren’t shadow ministers before this legislation. He/She/It is saying that former ministers have not been appointed shadow ministers in this government. Or maybe his keyboard’s missing a comma key as well as a question mark key.

What’s in a name….by which to call a pill if just as sour (with apologies to WS)They can be shadows, they can be spokepersons they can be whatever they want to be but for one thing; Ministers!
