Are they ashamed to use the PL logo, or does it clash with the stylish, sophisticated artwork?

Published: December 10, 2011 at 11:52am

Labour candidates are all over Facebook, publicising their Christmas parties for constituents, and not one of them is using Labour’s logo (jahasra, after Godfrey Grima went to so much trouble, miskin) or even the party name.

What’s the problem here?

Maybe the logo clashes with the stylish design of the advertisements?

Just look at this one: a female impersonator, a troupe of ‘densing’ girls, and heaven knows what other hellish entertainment.

    Agius Decelis should borrow Miss Jackson’s fruit bowl, stick it on his head and walk up and down Republic Street followed by The Tiffanny show girls brought especially from the UK.

    Now that’s what I call entertainment.

    My opinion: They do not use the Labour Logo, because they would be in a huge contradiction: Who the hell can go to some entertainment when Labour has been putting down our throats that we are dying of hunger here in Malta? and other ills? They try to catch the unaware and MIGHT get someone to go to their parties

      You must be right. Silly me, I was starting to think that Godfrey Grima had leased the logo to the Labour Party and was charging them on a pay-per-use basis.

      That can’t be the reason. Justine Caruana recently sent my son a letter explaining her continuous efforts so that Gozitan students do not have to travel all the way to Malta for their educational needs. No indication whatsoever was given as to her being a labour representative.

      It must be some directive they’ve been given. Perhaps they’ve botched up the conditions of use of the emblem and haven’t settled it yet with Godfrey Grima.

      Or perhaps they’ve realised that a good section of the public get an adverse reaction at each sighting of that horrible torch. I’m sure one casual glance at it raises my blood pressure to a dangerous level, and I suddenly get the urge to hit something.

      • ciccio2011 says:

        Another plausible explanation is that maybe the torch runs on coal and perhaps Sargas offered to experiment on it with one of those conceptual carbon capture and sequestration plants before they float a full-scale one in Delimara.

    Looking forward to this one. Should be a blast (from the past?)

  4. Joseph (Not Muscat) says:

    I received his invitation sent from the House of Representatives and also a pocket calendar.

  5. Neil Dent says:

    Are they SURE it’s TIffanny and not Tiffany? Can you imagine a female dance group from the UK, incorporating ‘fanny’ into their name?

    Or maybe the attendees are in for a Soho-style show shocker! Maybe some labour malti ta’Londra is their agent…

    My graphic design friends would weep if they saw this. Can they do ANYTHING right?

  7. Joe Micallef says:

    The artwork is so….Labour.

  8. oldtimer says:

    Pocket calendars come in useful and are worth your vote, don’t you think?

  9. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Shall we give it a go, Ciccio? This looks right up our alley.

    • ciccio2011 says:

      Baxxter, don’t tell me you’ve got money to spare after sending Jason that cheque for euro 180? By now you should know me – the only entertainment I’m willing to pay for is Jason’s balls.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        We missed the deadline for that particular do, remember? The 180 Euros I’ve set aside for a nobler cause.

        Those three showgirls should settle for 60 Euros apiece. And if they won’t, I’ll just load up on painkillers from the bar. Just make sure I don’t hit on Carla Jackson in the haze.

      • ciccio2011 says:

        “Just make sure I don’t hit on Carla Jackson in the haze.”

        Why, are you allergic to bananas?

    Has this PL ‘candidate’ been vetted by the PL candidates selection board ? The PN are shit scared of a certain MP from the fifth district who will raise hell if candidates are approved two months before the next election.

  11. Dee says:

    What’s missing is Jon Lukas crooning “I cant afford to lose”.

  12. John Schembri says:

    Where’s the Labour Party’s encouragement for Maltese talent?

    I just came back from a Christmas Party in aid of a charity organised by Hermann Schiavone and there where these four tall and smart Maltese flamenco dancers. Probably they trained in ballet and turned to Spanish dancing. They had a big round of applause even from the pot belly drinkers by the crowded bar.

  13. Mark Camilleri says:

    I think Carla Jackson is a drag queen. Google the name.

    [Daphne – Er, yes. It’s actually in the text up here: female impersonator.]
