ABOUT JAMES
James Piscopo is a 20 year old candidate for the Qormi Local Council, on the Labour ticket. Being one of the youngest candidates does not mean lack of experience, since he has gained throughout the years valuable experience in the fields of feast organisations, student politics (University organisations) and a major locality NGO. Apart from this, he’s also active in several ranks of the political party, currently serving as the youth representative for the Labour Party in Qormi and the editor of a published book named ’65 Sena Laburisti’ (November 2011).
As one of the youngest politicians in Malta’s local councils, Piscopo aims to bring closer the local councils and the residents, where the activity of the local council should not stop at arranging streets and other infrastructural interventions. Although this is important in the life of the local council, as this would enhance and improve the locality, it should also take care of long term projects, such as creating awareness on historical prestige and the unique cultural identity of the locality. This would strengthen the social, economic and historic aspects of Qormi.
All in all, throughout his commitment to local organisations Piscopo has shown that his contact with the man in the street is the best way to address locality problems. Thus, the only promise he commits himself to do is to bring the local council closer to the residents, since the only way forward for a successful local council is to have the unconditional support of those who elected it: the resident

James III of Qormi and James VIII of Malta.
Looks like the PL have their own Franco Debono.
He’d make a good rugby prop. His height is against him though.
Huge applause to all of you. As usual Maltese people are always ready to judge.Cut the guy some slack and give him a chance!
No I’m serious. Maltese rugby is awfully short of good props. Do you even know what a prop is?
Picture 5 shows what life will be like for a self-employed person under a Labour “inhallukom tahdmu” government.
Did Uday Hussein stop over in Malta 21 years ago?
Is his first name Piscopo or James?
They must have a really large skip. Where is all this talent going to be employed.
“bil-mentalita tal-festi ta’ wara il-muntanji”
Kemm inti progressiva u liberali. Prosit.
[Daphne – Richard, acknowledging that people who can’t think further than festi have a right to their simple expectations of life and their narrow horizons does not translate into thinking that they should run other people’s lives. Also, shouldn’t you be brushing up on the history of the Labour Party and on how Dom Mintoff got rich through post-war reconstruction, instead of hanging around looking for not-so-subtle ways to nitpick?]
I am currently reading Michael Briguglio’s thesis regarding old and new labour. Oh, and I managed to watch bijografij. Politicioans of those times were in a class of their own, you could see it from the way they showed pride and confidence in their work, even when having a photo taken. Colombo, Bofffa, Cachia Zammit, Wettinger – all in a class of their own. A far cry from today’s representatives of the electorate.
And the way festi have become a major business phenomenon, conflicts of interest could arise.
If there was one Xarabank worth watching, it was this episode, the promos throw some light on this possible collusion.
Note how religion is treated as property and class hate transposed onto catholic liturgy.

Dan minn fejn inqala? Dawk ir-ritratti veru jaghmlulek kuragg biex tivvutalu.
Do you think a few pictures with some childish captions can really shed a bad light on a hard working individual like James? It really is a pathetic attempt and one has to wonder whether instead of lurking facebook looking for some compromising pictures you should actually write an article with concrete reasons why James is not a suitable candidate rather than this nonsense. But that would involve you going beyond personal attacks under the guise of being “controversial” and acting like an actual journalist and give us something other than this bullshit. Unlike you, I actually know James and your perception of him being some kind of idiot is based on him liking his village feast. So what? If you researched a bit more you’d know as a part of MOVE which campaigned for divorce and gay rights among other issues on campus. But no, you just assumed that he’s some kind of simpleton because he enjoys his village feast. Rather than interviewing the person which would lead you to getting an idea of the real James, you just snooped into his facebook page like the rat that you are and just posted some pictures of a much younger James having fun and what did you prove? Absolutely nothing.
[Daphne – Piscopo James is 20. How could he possibly have been ‘much younger’ in any of those pictures. The fact that he’s got them on Facebook at all throws doubt on his political competence. And on the contrary, I do think he is the most eminently suitable candidate – for the Labour Party. He really fits in.]
