Now that must be a hell of a big skip.
While saying that their violent past is to be forgotten because it happened so many years ago the MLP hasten to boast that they were the ones to introduce children’s allowance and women’s right to vote. Seems like another oxymoron.
How can they say that ‘their violent past is to be forgotten because it happened so many years ago’ and at the same time commemorate Lorry Sant?
How can the PL reject and condemn all violence and then put flowers at the monument of someone for whom violence was a political tool?
I would go further. If this country really wants to break away from the violence and corruption perpetrated by a small group of Labour insiders in the 70s and 80s, then the monument to Lorry Sant must go.

Unbelievable! NO2EU and now here they are waving the EU flag, as if the EU-related progress of the last few years is down to Labour. Dissembling liars.
@ davidg: As if the MLP supporters are pro EU
Vera kas ta’ partit tal-gimmicks.
Is this all part of the electoral programme for Malta’s future as planned by il-Guy? Is this all Labour can offer the electorate? They are really with their backs to the wall to politicise Christmas.
It is time for the skip to be replaced by a quarry.
Living progressive, moderate, where time ‘stays still’, without sickness, poverty, the old, the dying, without sorrow.
Just happy living for ever and ever!
Finally we are starting to get the New Labour manifesto.
Silvio Parnis, Gavin Gulia, Luciano Busuttil, Chris Cardona, Jose’ Herrera (in his Oakley sunglasses), Charles Buhagiar and Leo Brincat are in the choir sequence singing on the steps. 0.49 onwards.
Gulia looks down in embarrassment.
Jahasra.
Sigh

How can someone trust such an attention-seeker?
One day he writes something, the next day he’s interviewed and says something totally different.
Who gives a hoot why this nonentity resigned?
My guess is that he probably resigned because of his claim about the supposed Church annulments bribery system. He can be taken to court about that claim. Probably the party wanted him to apologise for it.
If he resigns from the party he would do everyone a favour.
I hate it when politicians wear many hats.
At times, one cannot make out which hat the politician/lawyer/architect/doctor/surgeon is wearing.
You elect a village mayor and end up with an attention-seeking lawyer speaking about his profession to gain some free publicity which will bring him clients, now that the divorce law will soon come into force.
I hope that this time round the Curia does not repeat the Deborah Schembri mistake, and give him all that exposure.
I think you better get your facts right, Dr Ian Castaldi Paris is not a lawyer, he is a notary public.
Maltese is a crap language when it comes to singing.
Remember when Malta used to place bottom each time it participated in the Eurovision Song Contest with a song in Maltese?
The singers don’t sound any better today. Doesn’t help when the music sounds like an ad for some detergent.
Sung Maltese is the least corrupt form of Maltese in my opinion.
It’s very difficult to use words borrowed from other languages as it kills the song.
Not referring to cheap chants like this one mind you.
Listen to Mike Spiteri’s “Fjuri fil-Kantina”, Paul Giordmaina’s “Kliem”, “L-Aahhar Bidwi f’Wied il-Ghasel”, Mary Rose Mallia’s “Festa” to name a few. Yes, some are folkloristic, but they actually make me feel proud of my language.
Whoareu? – I am very proud of my language, don’t get me wrong, but I still say that Maltese and pop music don’t harmonize very well.
Same with some other languages, like German, for example. They too ended up having to go for a song in English.
You must have missed the epic soap plus rock opera “Gensna”.
Rok opra.
Lunatics.
The PL looks really, really stupid. While they are busy trying as hard as they can to convince people that we currently live in some dark time the PN are doing this:

Guess who drives around in a pastel BMW Convertible with number plate LLD 007?
??? please do tell.
Oh pants !
Moderat, progressiv,
Dan il-blog joghgobni u kif.
Escapees from Sesame Street? I’m sure I saw many Muppets.
Kermit and Miss Piggy seemed to headline. But did see some grouchy old men.
Even saw Big Bird flying around, until some crazed hunter, wearing a ‘torch-emblazoned’ T-shirt shot him down. (It’s in the background).
I would have thought they have more important things to do than release Christmas singles, like…..I don’t know……..come up with a policy or two.
I’m sorry, but this is beyond a joke.
Are these meant to be the minds behind Labour?
Is this all they can come up with?
Are we going to have to suffer 17 months of this only to be followed by, presumably, a further five years?
Can someone stop the bus? I have to get off.
Please Daphne, for God’s sake and mine, no more.
Karmenu Vella and Marlene Pullicino are at the very back behind Jose’.
Yep, they need cash, loads of it and fast.
I see that they’re singing a “messagg moderat…progressiv…”.
One of the singers in this and the other clip is a Junior Lyceum teacher. His car number-plate is SIN and his other car is a flashy convertible with his actual name on the plate, certainly not cars that a ‘tifel tal-haddiema’ u ticer can afford.
He is also a Labour candidate for the 2013 elections. Is his position tenable seeing how he blatantly ‘flaunts’ his beliefs and allegiances?
Milied Socjalista lil kulhadd! Ha nergaw nibdew.
The root cause of the PL may be that Joey is picking the wrong sources for inspiration. For example with Ed Miliband he seems to plagiarize more than just the “Living Wage”

[Daphne – Thank you for the link. I’ve put up a post about it.]
I, for one am prepared to “forgive the past” if only they do not blow their trumpets and declare those years as the Golden Years – of course one cannot “forget” unless stricken by some memory-killing sickness.
So now we will be able to enjoy Christmas if Labour is in power. I remember the Golden Years when Mintoff always managed to plan something deliberately to spoil Christmas.
I always associate Christmas during the Golden Years with the price of a tuna (or was it mackerel?) tin being reduced by 5 mils, that horrendous flaming torch emblem and Mintoff rambling on and on during his annual let-me-ruin-your-Christmas-once-again broadcast.
Daphne, why are you torturing us with this crap?
I could not bear watching more than a few seconds.
So many things are wrong with these videos.
1. Mixing politics with Christmas, when even wars stop for Christmas yet the progressive party thinks it is a opportunity to market their message.
2. Christmas carols in September?
3. Christmas carols normally have images of Father Christmas giving out presents to smiling children, not unfit men struggling up a monument to set fire to the contents of an urn.
It is not guySSSSSSSS. It is gajjjjjjjjzzzzzzz!
[Daphne – No, no, listen carefully when Kurt Farrugia types speak. GuySSSSS gets a sibilant S and Yezzz gets a Z. Other examples: dockSSSS and muckSSSSS (dogs and mugs).]
Daphne, I am not feeling well these days, and you’re making my mood even worse with these atrocious videos. Be compassionate!
Why is the syntax always: “ta’ XXXX l-XXXX”?? “tax-xoghol inhaddmu l-ghodda”? If they cannot find a word to rhyme with “godda”, then they shouldn’t use it in the first place.
Instead they twist the language in such an artificial fashion to obtian the rhyme at all costs.
And then:
F’dawn il-jiem ta’ kuragg,
Inwaslulkom dal-messagg
Moderat, progressiv…
oh Gesu’ Gesu’ … tal-biza’ …
And ‘ghodda’ and godda don’t even rhyme. The ‘gh’ at the beginning of ghodda lengthens the first vowel, so that the double ‘d’ loses its emphasis, unlike ‘godda’. ‘Godda’ rhymes with ‘sodda’ but not with ‘ghodda’.
Idiots
Politicising Christmas is below the limit anyone can go.
Reminds old timers of the time when we dreaded the approach of Christmas with Mintoff gleefully spoiling any possibility of the season’s joys by urging some fresh tightening of the belt because the cake was still in the oven.
And yet, there are people who are bored with today’s bonanza and would risk a return to those dismal days.
Daphne, ma nistax nifhem x’hemm komuni bejn il-Labour u il-Milied. Milied ta’ kuragg? Kuragg ghalfejn? X’messagg moderat u progressiv hemm fil-kanzunetta?
X’ghandu x’jaqsam il-Milied ma’ messagg moderat u progressiv? Hemm xamma kbira tat-tmeninijiet meta f’kollox u f’kull festa kienu jdahhlu l-politika.
Thank God I’m Hibernating from Malta again. This completely removes any remote symptom of homesickness.
P.S. The video also includes closeted gay men with girlfriends… vera progressivi.
What is wrong, I mean, what is wrong with all you people….. don’t you believe in Father Christmas no more?… (sigh)
I never believed in Father Christmas. Krismiss Fader, on the other hand, exists. He lives! Somewhere in Burmarrad, or so I am told.
