In 1950s/1960s Soho, Maltese gangsters/landlords/pimps walked with a swagger, looked sharp and turned heads. Ah, they had a name for the exhilarating feeling of wearing something stylish or sharp – they called it Zanzi.

That’s Soho Malti talk ‘Zanzi ‘.

Took me year but I set him straight – oh yes

Daphne ,

Im a Maltese landlord in Soho aged 33 living in a Mintoffian timewarp (i guess that makes me Postmodern) I look nothing like a Nanu nor does my Father who was funny enough a landlord during the early 60’s in Soho & there would be nothing wrong if we looked like Nanu’s. Give me your email and i’d gladly send you a picture of myself to prove this . .

I am not too happy with the PN campaign – all this emphasis on xoghol when we are in the middle of a recession with all the uncertainty it brings about – talking about jobs when everyone is anxious about their job is counterproductive to me. And this video, I agree is populist extreme right propaganda. Obviously migration is an issue and the achievements of the PN (particularly those of Simon Busuttil and Richard Cachia Caruana and his team in Brussels) should be spelled out but not in this xenophobic way, this is a Danish People’s Party spot not one I identify with the PN and the values which it upholds – it is offensive and misleading. The PN had the high moral ground on the issue as it took a strong stand on migration while at the same repecting the human dignity of the migrants. Following this video it is unfortunately hypocritical for the PN to accuse Muscat of being populist with his ‘sporadic veto’ threat.

They DO like to lump complex issues like stem cell research, abortion and euthanasia in the same pot and then kindly remind us that they’re perfectly sure we agree with them.

They DO like to twist facts (like with the voting for immigrants issue) and make out as if they are here to save us from what duped PN fans now believe to be a problem.

They DO like to play dirty in elections and mudsling (so do PL, but they haven’t made a video. Yet.)

To be honest, apart from AD, I’m not sure if I can find even one decent candidate from amongst the PL and PN jokers.

[Daphne – Good thing you’ve got Arnold Cassola then. He’s not a joker.]

[Daphne – Yes, I’d noticed that myself. I must say I’m very envious of the current crop of girls, with so much choice which they don’t need (because the girls remain small). I spent my teenage years in flat shoes, and even then the choice was limited – and I’m only 5’7″. It’s all linked to diet. They’ve got better food and much more of it – and that could also be why the girls aren’t growing at the same rate. Most of them are into starving themselves already during their formative years, and not eating meat. Boys, on the other hand, have no such hang-ups and eat like wolves.]

“I must say (and not in an elvish way), it might have just convinced me to vote Labour, or at least, not to vote at all.”

You should go all the way and vote Labour since you obviously agree with their 20 points. Voting Labour is stupid but better than sitting on the fence.

A vote for Labour is a vote for Labour, whether it’s elvish or not.

Yes, it could have been done in a better way. Maybe they should think twice before entrusting such videos to whoever was responsible for this particular one.
