Comments on: It’s not because he was in Cospicua

“But he got something else very wrong (kemm hi antipatika dik is-Sahhara): when you go off to speak to your constituents on a Sunday, Joseph, especially when those constituents are C2DE and in Cospicua, don’t wear a bloody suit, double cuffs and an ingravata. And above all, don’t stand on a podium with three flags behind you.”

What does C2DE stand for, exactly? And why is it important to say that these C2DE constituents are from Cospicua?

I nearly believed your spin until I came across that.

[Daphne – You know what it means. And yes, it is especially RUDE to turn up dressed like that when your constituents are C2DE, like Mr Darcy walking into the public ball (would that he were Mr Darcy). To turn up in a suit and tie for a Sunday morning meeting is stupid and inappropriate wherever the meeting is (unless it’s the party annual general conference or similar). But to do so in a certain context is also rude because it is an attempt at setting yourself apart. The only politician who visited Bidnija, where I live – something the Offended of Bormla forget – was Alfred Sant. He looked farcical, traipsing through the fields led by the only Labour farmer in the area, quite obvious concerned about his shoes and hems. As for spin, forget it. I write the facts.]

People from Bormla are seriously considering inviting you for drinks when the promenade project is officially inaugurated.

At present it would not be right to invite you for “Il-Festa” because the place is like a war zone they tell me.

This explanation was a breath of fresh air for them.

[Daphne – Good, I’m glad.]

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Baxxter, Labour is rebranding everything from scratch. They want to create the Ghaqal look. Now that's Onslow's sleeveless vest and a bow tie.

Anglu has solved the Formal vs Casual dilemma by wearing a suit and a builder’s vest. And showing both.
