Oh, I forgot to show you this photograph

Here’s Labour Youth’s secretary-general, Alex Saliba, living out his fantasies with his girlfriend in some ‘distortion chamber’ in Scotlent.
It’s interesting that when his size is increased exponentially through a distortion mechanism, he sees himself instinctively as a murderer and rapist (or maybe he’s just going to eat her for lunch?) rather than a BFG – big friendly giant to those unfamiliar with Roald Dahl.
You’d think that increased size would bring out his masculine protective instincts and that he would, say, give her a caring little squeeze (or patronising pat on the head), but no.
This is a man who is friends with Ronnie Pellegrini, ahem, and who admires Lorry Sant. Respect.

Scary…not the picture itself, but that he would post it on Facebook.
Move over Shrek.
I don’t know if I heard correctly yesterday but during JPO’s final comments on REALTA, he referred to the “battle” (divorce issue) HE fought “ágainst the PN and the church”.
Was it a Freudian slip on his part or ill-advised use of words?
Sounds to me like the typical words of an attention-seeking baby. But perhaps there is some truth in it.
I guess they are just the photos of a twenty-something having fun.
However I do agree that anyone in politics or who has ambitions to be in politics should be very careful about what they put on Facebook- or preferably not have a Facebook profile to begin with – because of the messages they end up sending through such photos.
It’s not about being aloof – it’s about being professional.
Precisely.
Such lack of professionalism shows who should NOT be allowed to decide what happens to our children…. whatever the party…
Actually last night on Realta, JPO said something much more worrying in my opinion – but I cannot see to find the on-demand version anywhere.
He so much as said that gone are the days of two parties fighting it out against each other – we need to work together to move the country forward. This at precisely the juncture where he had an opportunity to show his loyalty to the party.
I guess it goes to show….
Might want to see the video of Clinton Paul performing “Hey Mr. Mickey Mouse” during the open weekend at ONE, available on YouTube. That will definately be something you won’t forget!
I am sorry but this time I have to disagree with the article. It is just fun in my opinion and such pictures do not reflect personality traits in anyway.
This sort of entertainment is not recommended for Kurt Coconut Farrugia, Labour’s Communications Secretary. In Tander’s position, he will just look normal size.
Thanks for ruining the memories of my children in that very same room at the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh this summer, Daph!
Never mind Alex Saliba ……. the following is a Facebook message, badly written by Labour’s young spark .. and a lawyer to boot.
Owen Bonnici: I only know Nicola’ by face from her work in the artistic field particulary at University and never spoke to her. I really admire her courage to stand up to one of the most arrogant Ministers which have ever “graced” the Government benches!
What flippin’ courage?
It’s not as if Gatt goes around surrounded with henchmen ready to beat up anyone who so much as looks askance at him; this is not Lorry Sant or Wistin Abela we’re talking about.
He’s blunt and nonsense-intolerant. My kind of minister exactly.
An arrogant person is one who thinks it’s fine to leave hundreds of people waiting, who has no qualms about ignoring established protocol and who is already dreaming of how soft and comfortable the chairs at Castille are.
Now that’s not my kind of prime minister at all.
“You’d think that increased size would bring out his masculine protective instincts and that he would, say, give her a caring little squeeze (or patronising pat on the head)”
Or gently lift her up in his hand a la King Kong/Fay Wray. Hallina Daphne. I doubt whether more than 1% of men would act that way. 90% would act just like Alex Saliba and the rest wouldn’t bother because they’re gay.
[Daphne – Ah, but you’re assuming that all women are automatically going to scoot into the ‘shrink’ side. Hmmmm. Jekk m’ghandix.]
Point well taken.
The following is a post someone uploaded on insiteronline.com, the facebook thread at the bottom shows the true reason of her frustration – not being in the limelight enough. Pity that it was all orchestrated.

“I apologise for my outburst, which was a mixture of frustration and anger, which had been boiling up for 4 months whilst waiting for many long hours on many bus stops.”
You almost managed to make this sound voluntary and unplanned!
Tick tock, your 15 minutes are almost over!

On the subject of Nicola’ Abela Garrett, if anyone thinks that her outburst was a spur of the moment “mixture of frustration and anger, which had been boiling up for 4 months whilst waiting for many long hours on many bus stops” as she stated in her open apology, think again.
On her Facebook page Tuesday evening:
