I can’t help but think that’s where one half of his moustache and the beard part of his goatee ended up (I’m sure that he’s got greys in there as well)…. is it just me?

The ‘new’ logo looks more like an infant’s first attempt at finger painting in kinder class, or is that ‘reception class’?

22,ooo euro in SMS calls? I thought we were starving. If Labour managed to drum up that much in what seems to be a scam, I wonder what the amount will be when they start their election campaigning.

If they are pulling these tricks when in Opposition, then God help us if they come to power.

Scam? Do it the right way and stage a false competition to trick people in voting in order to collect funds? That would be ingenious. I think you are overestimating the capabilities of the Labour Party.

“beating even Joseph Muscat whose leg must be giving him trouble again” –

That`s why I like it here, because, although she discusses many serious and important topics, she is one of the few people who manages to change any of my bad moods, and actually make me laugh.

Ma nafx minn fejn il-madoffi iggibhom. Nahseb min jafha personali, aqta kif tifqahhom bid-dahq jekk ikollha il-burdata. Typical Virgo.

It represents love? oh dear …Are they serious?

…and 20,883 euro worth of text messages? And then they try and make us believe that everyone is forced to eat pizza on a Saturday evening instead of steak? What a bunch of buffoons.

From timesofmalta.com

‘When launching the exercise, Dr Muscat said the new design should represent an evolution to reflect the way the party was changing. “If we do not change internally we cannot aspire to be the movers of change in society,” Dr Muscat said, acknowledging there may be some in the party who would resist such a move out of nostalgia and emotion.

The emblem had to represent the party’s values, he added, in the same spirit as described by former Labour leader and Prime Minister Sir Paul Boffa, who described the torch as a symbol of progress, love and a guiding light.

The eventual selection of the emblem by party members would be the first such exercise, Dr Muscat said, announcing that next year a convention would be held whereby all members would meet to discuss and approve the guiding principles on which the party will contest the next general election.

Labour chief executive James Piscopo, who is heading the project, described the exercise as a historic moment that will coincide with the party’s 90th anniversary.’

What type of ‘guiding principles’ are we talking about here?

And why did Joseph Muscat make an appearance only during the ‘launching of the exercise’?

Will a ‘gabra ghall-partit’ be organised during the ‘convention’?

Too many questions.

Gadget the torch reminds you of the blow torch (heater) you once used when you locked a suspect in a locker at HQ and then lit an electric heater next to it, till the poor buggar screamed.

Maybe their insistence on using the torch as a symbol is simply to remind us of their past atrocities, such as the torching of The Times’ building some three decades ago.
