    And in other news: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20111110/letters/Italy-travel-ban.393075

    A blast from the past.

    I wouldn’t have a clue of the facts and details, but a very suspicious letter in its brevity.

    I watched this live… what an embarrassment.

  3. Rita Camilleri says:

    Daphne please you are insulting the ass……

  4. Space says:

    Kollox semplici.

  5. Ivan M. Dingli says:

    I have to agree with you on this particular title.

    Gee, he managed to insult Lou at 0.31 and Lou paid him for it. Lou nailed him, cornered him, and reduced him to Campbell’s soup.

      But let us be careful.

      Sometimes, the crowd sides with the underdog.

      Anglu is a semi-literate, ambitious nincompoop with a dangerously inflated ego.

      If the interviewee’s ego grows even bigger than Anglu’s, then Anglu’s will appear relatively smaller. And in politics, relativity is paramount.

      We have to spread the message that Anglu’s uncouth manners, his inflated ego, his inability to understand the fundamentals of economy (oh, sorry!, am I quoting someone here?), his imperfect analysis skills, his heavily handicapped intellectual prowess, his notional deficiencies on any topic he might be looking at – all these qualities make him potentially dangerous as a Minister (not to say anything about being Deputy Prime Minister).

      It is in our country’s best interest not to have Anglu Farrugia as Deputy Prime Minister – i.e., the man who would have the reins of the country in his hands each time his boss is abroad (either in some Brussels conference or on some Hamilton Travel Cruise).

      This is of VITAL importance to the country.

      I’m afraid Lou is not the right person to convey this message. Sorry to be calling a spade a spade, but this is an emergency which admits of very little political correctness. It calls for political savvy.

    ….ovvja…semplici…illi…illi…tahdem fuqha…jien insaqsi lill-PrimMinistru…Smart City m’ghadhiex f’idejn Austin Gatt…

    Well I missed this bright spark on Tuesday and hearing it for the first time today still feels like I have missed something.. like I don’t know, what further subsidies are they going to give families?

    How are they going to eradicate poverty?

    What extra benefits are they going to give?

    To what level are they going to reduce the water and electricity tariffs?

    And more importantly, how are they going to pay for these extra benefits?

    Gavin Gulia has already written off one of the main growth areas in Malta as not filtering down to the common people.

    What are they contemplating? Lowering the poverty line in order to have fewer poor people? Bringing in sweatshops in order to increase female employment? a

    Ae they maybe banking on hitting gold with an oil field?

    Or do they think that being in government just means warming a seat whilst taking credit for the hard work of the common people?

    He reminded me of those glorious days when I would turn up for an exam without being decently prepared.

    I would spend the 2 hours or so spinning around the few concepts I knew trying to put together a couple of 1000 word replies. Obviously I always failed – and still I feel I did better than Anglu.

    Jien ma nafx kif ma jisthux jiprezentaw ruhom quddiem il poplu.

    U jghidu li huma il-partit progressiv u l-alternativa ghal-gvern Nazzjonalista.

    Jghidu li Lou Bondi magna tal-Partit Nazzjonalista u ma jkunux ippreparati 150% ghall-programmi tieghu.

    Anglu, warrab ghax ghadek amateur.

    While Rick Perry’s election hopes may be over (check out the link below), Anġlu Farrugia’s, I’m sure, remain unchanged. But how can someone who’s been in politics for so long, be so utterly clueless?

    Please post the part where he’s continuously saying “off the rekort”. Someone creative will surely come up with a rap song to that.

  14. Jozef says:

    This is what happens when one gets used to politics as a method of tightening one’s grip on the party faithful alone.

    As soon as they’re faced with real questions they flounder.

    Instead of some serious analysis of their flaws, they’ll feel hard done by, expecting to be accepted for what they are.

    They must understand the country deserves better. If they think their time has come, simply because it should be their turn by default, they’re proving a cynical lot.

    Why they insist on indolence and scheming is beyond everyone’s good faith.

    The democratic life of a state is serious business, yet these individuals’ blatant intention is to con their way to government. That will be our loss.

  15. Dee says:

    Anglu was WAFFLING.

  16. Malcolm Vella says:

    If you think this is funny think again. There is absolutely nothing funny about the fact that this man will almost certainly be our deputy prime minister within the next 18 months.

  17. PG says:

    Don’t be too hard on the man lest the media savvy Joseph bans him from TV prematurely. We want him there in his full glory once the election campaign proper gets under way.

    To quote George W Bush : “a major league asshole”.

    re: Patrick’s blast from the past

    KMB is correct in saying that there was no ban stopping travel to Italy in 1985.

    But what the honourable gentleman conveniently forgot to mention is that he had imposed a ban stopping us from exchanging Maltese Liri into Italian Lire. Same difference.

    Idjota bic-coffi u c-certifikati.

    Anglu , kont naqtak iktar SMART. Pero biex tkun smart trid tkun infurmat min hu l-Ministru li SMART CITY taqa taht l-ministeru tieghu.

    Nahseb li Joe Muscat u shabu jridu joqghodu attenti lil min jibghatu jippresenta l-PL f’okkazzjonijiet bhal programm ta’ Lou Bondi.. Zgur li ma jkunux jridu jaqghu ghaz-zuffjett..

  22. Grezz says:

    Let’s give the poor guy a break.

    Maybe he was distracted by his Blackberry/Smartphone/whatever vibrating in his pocket next to his tuks, with updates from Lolita Pusung and Chali s-Snaider.
