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.

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..

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.

Anglu is in good (and numerous) company who deserve the same title.

My thoughts exactly.

They might consider doing a TAX Force to do what they have promised. Typical of Labour.

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.
