In reply to Renata. Manners are not learned at school, but at home; they can only be reinforced at school, but that depends on the school environment.

@H.P. Baxxter:

He wished he had the same ‘shrouded in mystery’ and ‘whatever happened in there’ meeting, to create a fake suspense.

Someone referred to “Dr Joseph” as “a schoolboy politician”. Joseph is neither a schoolboy (because they all arrive on time for school or else they are left out) nor a politician (because politicians know what protocol demands of them0. Joseph is just wearing shoes which are far too big for him and he is far too young to lead and/or to govern.

The slogan we used to hear years back of “AHLEB GUZ” should be changed to “AGHGGEL GUZ”.

Probably posturing for a police escort. Can’t wait to be on par with the big boys.

Delayed arrival might have been simply a case of need for a last minute nappy change – and not necessarily by either one of the twins.

The sad part is that I am quite sure that the majority of our leftist population will not see how JM has humiliated us in public with an important head of state. Instead most people will probably see him in a better light saying that he’s one of us, a humble man who does not conform to such patrician customs. A case in point are some of the above comments trying to excuse him by saying that the King himself was also late for another function. My only doubt is whether this is a political tactic to appeal to such masses or a simple lack of tact and basic manners.

I cringe when I read what this twerp is doing. The image he is portraying is beyond belief. So it seems he didn’t learn anything from St. Aloysius, certainly not good manners. I think for Christmas he needs a crash course in protocol and manners.

When do you think “majtezwel ” will make its way into a Maltese dictionary?
