You are right in what you said regarding entering with your car within the 50 meters of the polling booth area, but you cannot park and people on foot cannot stop either. But you know, our policemen are all fully aware of the law, like when in Zejtun they allowed Qahbu to enter the school building during the MEPs election.

But that was Edwin Bartolo il-Qahbu and not a law-abiding citizen like you. And when the Nationalist supporters protested and reported this incident to the police, the officers e on duty replied that they were not aware that he should not be there, and these supporters were beaten by Qahbu in full view of the police.

In this tiny Island some people are special.

No, it definitely was an original North Face jacket.

To identify an original NF jacket from a fake one, one only needs to look closely at the garment and at the two identical North Face logos.

In this case the jacket did have the two logos, just as North Face makes them: one on the front left corner of the jacket and the one on the back – (lower right shoulder).

[Daphne – Why are we discussing Joseph Muscat’s North Face jacket? It should have been a Barbour, anyway. He’s the wrong shape for a Belstaff. Michelle’s wellies are more worthy of discussion: silver fashion wellies. The proper thing to wear in that situation would have been leather boots. Wellies are for the garden, slopping out stables, and trudging through fields, in which case they must always be green and bought from a farm supply shop. If you are going to wear wellies in public and for show, then they’ve got to be Hunter. But the fact is, you don’t wear wellies just because it’s raining, unless you’re five years old and want to splash in puddles with mummy.]

Forsi fake.

The only problem is that in Malta some towns are too small to raise a working capital..

If you wear the North Face brand in America especially if you’re American and an athlete, (Obama, runs with his personal trainer every day) it means that you CAN afford a decent brand of clothing because you’re a sportsman/woman and you need to feel comfortable whilst practising your sport.

But if you wear the North Face brand in Malta in a country where ‘hawn il-batuti fil-pajjiz’, ‘hawn l-ghaks u l-guh’ and especially if you are NOT an athlete, it hurts the poor who can’t afford a jacket let alone a North Face one.

You can buy a lot of cabbages for soppa tal-armla with the porice of that jacket.

Perhaps Timberland is a cheaper brand. If we’re going to do brands, majtezwell, go for the best hux?

Buontempo the pageboy.

Forsi ried jaghti ezempju lil Schettino.

Imma kemm jiflhu jaqghu vojta u redikoli.

Quite an expensive brand indeed considering that ‘hawn l-ghaks u l-guh fil-pajjiz’.
