Gensna in Concert – first North Korea, now the inspiration spreads to China
Actually, Mario Vella's just gone home. His waters have broken.
From The Sunday Times (London) today:
Final Word: Oh what a beautiful morning – for the proletariat
“Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I’ve got a beautiful feeling – that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
Set that to a jaunty melody and it will surely be the next hit tune of Karl Marx: The Musical, which is expected to open in Shanghai next year.
Why has nobody thought of this before? Marx’s life has all the elements of a successful musical: drama, romance, moments of light comedy and the dialectic of historical inevitability. Could there be a more dramatic scene than the one in which Karl explains to his wife that he has got the maid pregnant?
Or more comic than the night the father of communism went on a pub crawl up Tottenham Court Road in central London and smashed a gas lamp?
There will certainly be production difficulties, not least as the orchestra rises up to overthrow the conductor and establishes a musicians’ collective. And we can only wait to see how China’s Tim Rice struggles to overcome the biggest creative difficulty of all – how many words are there that rhyme with proletariat?

Hi good people,
Roberta desperately needs your support. Last week’s theme, ‘Xejm on Xerinn – I’ll kill for Gift of Life’, did not go down well with liberals, but I’m sure you’re going to like this week’s theme: “All animals are equal”. So please link her website to animal lovers. It’s just for a week. Any suggestions for next week’s theme please let us know. Anything to fill up our hollow fields.
Many thanks, mwaa, mwaa from Bobby.
RMTT campaign,
Brussels
We are sure swell
Am I the only person who has no idea what kev is talking about?
Forsi l-mara qed ittieh il-genb minhabba l-kampanja you know imhabbta l-madame, u qed jipprova ma’ din…….
Are you remotely interested? If so, you must be the only person.
R2D2 – Kevin Elloool Bonici is seemingly a bored Brussels-based house-husband with too much free time on his hands. Seeing that his chincilla can’t talk, he’s got to find other ways to entertain himself while his wife Xerin is busy with the gravy-train.

No, xi kultant jitlifha miskin (no hard feelings, Kev)
It’s the portrait of Karl Marx which triggered memories of his youth in MOCKBA. That’s our kev.
Kev, Roberta is desperately trying to get elected and she’s trying to do everything to go to Brussels as an MEP. When she saw all those people gathered outsideLabour’s HQ she immediately issued a press release in a desperate attempt to attract some red/pink voters. She’s now trying her luck with animal lovers and the Gift of Life fundamentalists. On Facebook, she’s the second most popular PN candidate after Simon Busuttil.

Watch this documentary and weep. I have a North Korean friend who sent me this link. Luckily, he is now prospering in Japan after having escaped the North Koreans and the Chinese. This is what our dear leader Mintoff wanted us to emulate. He wanted “closer ties” with this pariah state and its murdering father-and-son diumvirate. This is what the Labour Party wanted for Malta. And wonder of wonders, we even had a North Korea Malta friendship society in Malta. [Daphne – Run by one of the sons of Frans Sammut, hagiographer to Alfred Sant and father to another son who tried to get on a plane carrying a gun and was arrested.]
I remember being told that in Bahrija, Mintoff had bulit a fortress villa for the young Kim Jong Il. He had spent some time in Malta, and I remember someone telling me he saw him ogling pretty girls in Ghajn Tuffieha. Is there anyone who remembers him or who had contact with him, I wonder? With his penchant for abusing women, I wonder if he did so in Malta?
Does anyone remember him here at all?
