Anglu 'Inspector Gadget' Farrugia: just sack him, for heaven's sake
Oh look, Ireland has one too.
Inspector Gadget spoke at a local Labour meeting last Sunday and compared his Great Leader to St Publius of Malta (as opposed to St Publius of Syria – but then Gadget wouldn’t know there’s more than one), because – wait for it – THEY BOTH COME FROM BURMARRAD.
My apologies, but I really had to put that in upper case.
I really don’t know how anyone expects me to take the Labour Party seriously (I’ll leave everyone else out of the equation and speak for myself) when it’s got two deputy leaders who bend over backwards to persuade us that their second job is a stand-up routine at some low-budget Saturday night buffet where the jokes just crack nanna up.
I couldn’t find a decent picture of St Publius so I used St Patrick instead. I ran a search on ‘bearded saint’ and up he popped, complete with snakes like Publius’s famous guest, Paul.
You see, Ireland’s got one too: St Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity and rid the island of its snakes. St Paul, on the other hand, just stripped them of their venom and left it in a safety-deposit box with the Labour Party’s name on it.

He’s Welsh….not even Irish…
Eh, mela ghalek Joey Muscat hareg ginger, ghax jigi minn Pupul. Kos, mur obsor.
Hallina minn dawn il-pulcinellati, Ang, Ghadkom ma gbajtux taqaw ghan-nelh jahasra – intom u l-partit kollu mxellef li ghandkom. B’hekk tridu tidru, minflok tmorru tinhbew.
Anzi mhux hotbi ukoll.
Mela San Pubbliu kien hotbi? Kienx juza l-hair gel ukoll?

What is funny in all this was that Anglu was at the morning mass celebrating the feast of Publiju in Floriana. He seems to have been impressed.
I am not sure whether it is prudent for me to make this comment here under this topic. Your opinion and that of others would be appreciated.
We have all heard now about the Bianca Zammit incident. What happened to her is reprehensible. Those who work for peace reject all violence.
Ms. Zammit belongs to an organisation called the International Solidarity Movement. To what extent is it true that this organisation camouflages itself under several names and does it really channel funds to terrorist organisations?
Do not get me wrong. Bianca sounds like a nice person and very altruistic by nature. But is she aware of all the implications of her involvement with this movement?
[Daphne – If I were you, I would give Malta Today a call and ask them to get Karl Schembri, their man on the ground, to investigate. Chance would be a fine thing.]
On a lighter note, I fail to understand how the GWU Youth decided it was within their competence to comment on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
My thoughts exactly. And the overtly anti-Israeli tone will not be missed by Israel.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Welcome back Daphne. Hope you had a nice holiday.
Will he also compare him to St. Joseph, since they have the same name?
If Anglu was cracking a joke, then I can assure him not many people laughed, especially in Floriana. What a silly bunch.

Possibli Joseph mhux jinduna li dan Anglu qieghed dejjem iwwaqghu ghaz-zufjett? Dan hekk kien jaghmel lis-superjuri tieghu fil-korp, sabiex hu dejjem jider superjuri, halli jihaq. Leader wannabe.
Someone should measure Anglu Farrugia’s IQ.
Do they sell nanospectrometers in Malta?
It’s not only ridiculous, it’s “historically” wrong. I always thought that, according to tradition, Publius lived in what is now Mdina. Another case of Labour rewriting the past, perhaps.
[Daphne – Ah, but don’t forget the ‘Roman villa’ in Burmarrad.]
If you want to see Labour rewriting the past, watch Inkontri
Anglu Farrugia is no Nostradamus, but he knows the Roman period of Maltese history inside out. Also, he too probably considers Shakespeare to be overestimated. But, thank goodness, he will be Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister come next general election. And when the Great Leader will be in Brussells for Council meetings, he will run the country. All the Labour delegates who voted for Anglu in the race for Deputy Leader should be admitted to the National Order of Merit for services rendered to the Republic.
St. Publius,….St. Patrick,…why is it that St. Dominic is now also popping into my mind? Probably it is because of the torch in the dog’s mouth. Maybe Muscat should have explained himself better about changes to the PL logo in yesterday’s television interview with Micallef. Although to be fair, Dominic’s dog was not a poodle.
I wonder what Dr Mario DDR Vella thinks of Malta being run by Anglu Magna Cum Laude Farrugia while the Great Leader is in Brussels.
Might I suggest Anglu Farrugia’s slogan for the coming general election?
“ONE MAN, ONE NEURON.”
Sa fejn naf jien, dejjem smajt li San Pubbliu kien jghix go dar il-Wardija. Issa jekk il-Wardija taghmel ma’ Burmarrad, ma nafx.
In relation to photos, last Saturday my sight was met by the photo of the neo Saint Publius hanging off the balcony of the PL restaurant /club in Republic Street Valletta.
Imagining a speech bubble it would surely read
“Hey look I’m wearing cufflinks, and my hair transplant has been successful”
Hair transplant? Why bother when he can get himself a nice white bouffant wig like the one modelled by Tarcisio Mifsud in Malta Today last Sunday?
You`re wrong, mate. That’s St. Augustine of Hippo (not Gatt). You will never see a pic of St. Publius hanging in Valletta.
And while Anglu is trying to take the piss of either Joseph Muscat or St. Publius, or both, how about him concentrating on the very serious allegation that he came out with a few months ago when he alleged that he had proof of the elections being rigged. He claimed that he had all the necessary proof of about 300 voters who either sold or were forced to give their votes away. Ejja Ang qum ftit u hallik minn San Publius.
Anglu’s ambition has no limits. Remember when he ran for leadership?
Context is everything: if he were addressing a coffee morning this would be just the thing to appeal to his audience. Where was he when he said this?
Mhux ta b’xejn hemm dawk il-kazi kollha ta’ qtil mhux solvut ghax il-korp tal-Pulizija dejjem kien immexxi mid-dillettanti!
