You see what he did there. He moved his goatee to the top of his head instead.
Rumour has it that Joseph’s next trick will be to add inches to a certain vertically challenged person who dabbles in party communications.
He had better address his own challenges in that department.
As Tony Benn would say, it’s about policies not personalities.
Problem is, Joseph has no f**king policies.
I mean, at least give us a teaser if not a spoiler, O Ginger Magician.

Miracles do happen. Stress is generally the cause of hair loss, but in the wondrous leader’s case, stress has caused his hair to grow back. Now we know what he was doing last summer, when Michelle and Anglu stood in for him at official events because he was indisposed. At least we were spared the Berlusconi bandana.
That was because of his leg.
Oh, is that where they got the hair from?
Nah, it’s only a PM (Photo-Montage) job.
A pair of fancy spectacles and a bright suit, and Labour’s got Elton John for leader.
Hardly. If he were Elton John, he would be ghettoised in LGBT Labour.
The Great Leader’s makeover speaks volumes.
Fake, superficial. Plastic Labour.
He must have contacted the guy who did Rooney’s recent hair transplant… in London.
Oh really? Who did the tan transplant?
Maybe Michael Jackson sent him the contact details via Angelik?
He’s using the same fairy godmother as Cinderella did: the magic does not seem to last for more than a few hours at a time. Gives him hair that soon disappears, tans that lighten up, broken bones that keep rehealing of their own accord etc.
I haired a freak lives here.
Let us capture a photo of it.
I find nothing wrong whatsoever if he did have a hair transplant. Baldness does NOT suit everyone. If there are the means nowadays and you can afford it, why not? Once again If it does make you feel better, why not?
With the same reasoning we should accept the fact that god made us Maltese hairy, stop waxing/trimming u nigu kollha qisna xadini. Lovely :)
[Daphne – A man who waxes and trims? God help us. This may be the age of equality, but some men haven’t noticed that it doesn’t apply to certain areas. And shall we start those arguments all over again? A man can have a hair transplant (that’s what the operation is there for, generally, not for women) but if he is prime minister or leader of the opposition there are implications. Men who have hair transplants are yelling out one thing, however successful they are: I AM INSECURE AND NEUROTIC ABOUT MY APPEARANCE. Not a good thing in a leader.]
Until I was 28, I had a full head of hair; by age 30 it had disappeared. The family sage said it was genetic. What to do?Just grin and bear it.
Arani Ma, qed nisbih kuljum. Issa dik ser ittini r-rollers, u nigi Leader faqa.
Tghid jekk naghmel ftit lisptik ihhobuni aktar?
U tiwwarjax fuq il-flus tal-makeover ta, Ma, KOZAMMWERTIT.
It can definitely be a sign of insecurity, but not necessarily. Everyone wants to look good, and a good number of people do something about it. Specially if your face is on every newspaper.
[Daphne – If your face is on every newspaper, Chris, that would be one reason NOT to have a hair transplant or use ‘hair today, gone tomorrow’ temporary products. You just look ridiculous. Women get away with it, because we are allowed vanity and cosmetics. But men are expected to be manly, regardless of sexual orientation, especially if they are national leaders. If they’re footballers or opera singers, nobody really cares because it goes with the territory. But politicians and leaders are something else. This is a crucial distinction and you’d do well to understand it. Alfred Sant’s main problem was that the wig he insisted on wearing was a major and highly accurate clue to his personal hang-ups and psychology.]
Daphne, I remember seeing a photomontage of one particular MP looking very “manly” indeed. Could you provide us with a stock image from your archive to refresh our memory?
I am sure I saw him on One news the other day at a meeting with Gozitan businessmen and he was back to his balding head. I don’t think that he did a hair transplant. It was probably just a temporary product or some Photoshop editing.
Do you think Dr. Gonzi is perfect, please stop these personal remarks.
[Daphne – Dr Gonzi may not be perfect, but guess what, he doesn’t wear a wig or hair volumiser. Or even dark tan foundation make-up.]
