The photos which say it all

Maltatoday probably hasn’t worked this out yet, but its portal is currently running two photographs (shown here) which pretty much spell out why we’re more comfortable with a Nationalist prime minister in a crisis and only go for a Labour prime minister when we’re think we’re so comfortable that he can’t possibly mess things up.

In these pictures, Lawrence Gonzi – for all the wise-cracks made at his expense by the Labour Party and its fellow-travellers at Malta Today – looks like somebody you could really rely on.

And Joseph Muscat looks like…… something you might find beneath a pig’s curly little tail, but please don’t make me spell it out. I really don’t think shaving that hair off his face was such a good idea. It makes him look like he should be wearing short pants and featuring in some comic strip in Dandy or The Beano with El Toni Abela, the Bolivian heister, at his side and his faithful hoss Angelo.

Somebody’s been eating all the pies and raiding Michelle’s jar of gingerbread men. Two years at the helm of the Labour Party and he’s gone from thrusting Young Turk to a fat, bald sidekick to Walter the Softy and Dennis The Menace.

    And the PM is backed by all his team (including Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando). Why is Joseph alone?

    Joseph Muscat, quoted in Malta Today, 25 October: “Instead of the much-awaited reduction in tax, the government instead lands us with new expenses such as that on fuel which will hit both families and businesses hard and reduce disposable income.”

    Joseph Muscat, quoted by timesofmalta.com, 19 September: “Labour, he said, would also start a gradual shift of taxation from tax on work to tax on pollution.”

    He looks like he’s feeling what he might find under the pig’s curly little tail.

    They should do him a favour and keep him away from the burgers and chips down at the glasshouse canteen. A lettuce leaf and two peanuts a day for the next ten weeks should tide him over Christmas and the New Year and there you have it, the new Joseph version 2011.

    At least he won’t get stuck in the Labour leaders’ revolving door.

    That’s Malta for you. Very rich people with all the trappings of a privileged lifestyle STILL getting fat.

    Dear Daphne

    Do stop this …. you’re giving me a heart attack ….

    Joseph Muscat comes across as a life-assurance salesman, keen to sell something inadequate just to up his own gains, without a care for the people who he might be “damaging” two decades down the line. Believe me, I’ve seen many of them in action and know what I’m talking about.

  9. M says:

    Btw Daphne, after all Saviour is not too bad ;)

  10. Hubert Zammit says:

    Joseph must have really struggled to stop himself sticking the official Government of Malta on that podium of his. Too bad you’re still the leader of the opposition, sir.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: He’s Incrediboy from The Incredibles. Watch it.

    Joseph Muscat is just a look-alike of Nidal Binni; the difference now is that Joseph’s hair is falling out and Nidal has a Berlusconi turf patch growing.

    Nidal and Joseph are competing on who sells most bull.
