Ghalissa, imbilli tigi tizzattat b’dik l-gharukaza ta kostruzzjoni u ortografija kull m’inti taghmel hu li tbezza lin-nies intelligenti u ta’ skola li jitla’ partit fil-gvern mimli cwiec bhalek.

Issa ha naqleb ghall-Ingliz, tiehux qata’:
Understand this, my illiterate friend, you belong to a party that has made you what you are today – poorly educated and proud of it. Yours is a party that encourages you to accept your woeful intellectual achievements and teaches you that this is part of your culture or heritage or some such nonsense.

Inti Malti bhali, u bhali ghandek wirt kulturali illi jmur lura mijiet ta’ snin. Mela allura imissek tisthi li ghandek l-eta li ghandek u l-anqas hila tpoggi erba’ kelmiet flimkien kif suppost m’ghandek.

Observe: I switch effortlessly and correctly between two languages. I was taught to do this. Your pitiable socialist ambitions only take you as far as colour telly in every room of the house.

Indannati m’ahniex siehbi, inkwietati biss li il-gvern li trid int se jerga jfotti (I’ll bet you’re comfortable with that word) lil pajjiz kif kien ghamel. Issa mur ixtri ktieb.

Indannat int, u l-hdura gejja minn familtek u razztek. Jekk joghgbok, hallina nibqghu niehdu gost naqraw hawnhekk u jekk ma joghgbekx, sib blog iehor.

She joint you? And then did what? Turned you into escalopes and fillet steaks?

“I am proud to be labour”. That’s no surprise: shoddy spelling, shabby standards.

The way you wrote this last comment is very indicative of your political orientation, dear Tony. I suggest you invest in some English language lessons.

Private Eye, a journal which is up there in my Pantheon Of All Things To Be Looked Up To, has this award called an O.B.N. – Order of the Brown Nose.

The Times deserves an OBN and Bar with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, the way it’s grovelling before Joseph Muscat like a puppy trying so hard to please its master.
