In reply to Fanny.

“I thought he was a ‘green’. What about his carbon footprint if he is flying around all the time? Hypocrite!”

Ahh now I get it. Do VIPs travel in business class?

Unfortunately, it appears that Arnold does not fall within the category of married men with children. He is single and childless – so what.

Green my foot – I tell you what “green” politics is: it’s the politics of those “green with envy” towards those left-wingers or right-wingers who have a real ideology, right or wrong: but at least they believe in something. That’s what green politics is.

Green politics is opportunism and the exploitation of the ennui of the bougoisie. That’s what it is.

L-ipokrezija ta’ dawn il-Hodor m’ghandiex limitu. Kont nippretendi li wara dan il-paroli kollu fuq il-carbon footprints u li l-klima ser tixwijna hajjin, Arnold kien ikun minn ta’ l-ewwel biex jevita l-ajruplan. Dejjem jista’ jghumha sa l-Italja imbaghad jaqbad rota biex ikompli triqtu. Veru ma jafux jisthu dawn in-nies. Wara kollox, Arnold u l-partit tieghu jemmnu li (u nikwota) –

“The departure tax must be removed. Alternatively we are proposing a carbon tax of Lm10, if the proceeds from this tax are invested in improving public transport.”

“Aviation too should be included in an emission trading scheme.”

Kieku kien ghall-Hodor, ghadna nghixu fl-gherien u nuzaw l-hmar u c-cattra ghat-trasport. Dawn nies li rari kkontribwew xi haga ghal-bniedem u hlief ostakli kontra l-progress u taxxi fuq idejat fazzulli u banali ma hargux bihom.

Issa Sur Cassola, mur ghid lill-gremxula tax-xaghri biex tivvutalek ghax hi gawdiet l-izjed bil-politika taghkhom!

if (when) he fails to get elected he can always apply as a trolley dolly with Air Malta – perhaps even on the Brussels route. “We understand that many of you are frequent travellers but we ask you to follow the emergency instructions carefully…” Arnold, your purser.
