On Super One radio this morning, there were anti-government remarks even on a programme were a vet was guest speaker and the discussion was about micro-chipping dogs.
It’s a daily reminder about why not to vote Labour.

How could Zoo realistically expect people to understand the joke when the subject of the energy tariffs crops up (accidentally of course) 24/7 on all the live discussion programs and phone-ins (including theirs) on the political station they have decided to squat in of late?
They plough fertile ground.

Kim Jong Il had about 55 titles in all. And Joseph Muscat could not even do better than that with his budget proposals – there were just 51 of them.
Joseph Muscat won’t like living there because he’s always late.
There, but for the grace of the PN, and despite Mintoff, goes Malta. With apologies to John Bradford.

Hope you don’t mind me going off subject, but what a farce this morning – the prime miniester and the president were already in the palace courtyard waiting for the Sultan of Qatar when all of a sudden , as usual late, Joseph Muscat turned up together with Dr Toni Abela and they were asked to use the side door.
The side door was closed and they had to knock on it to attract attention. After some minutes of doing this with no response, somebody went back to them and directed them to use the main door.
And all this just before the Sultan arrived.
I thought the ‘twins’ have outgrown nappies by now. So what’s his excuse?
How does Raphael Vassallo manage to contradict himself in such a sublime manner?
First he accuses Government MP’s of being incapable of distinguishing between party and government, (shouldn’t that be party and state?), then attempts to align Joseph’s latest intimate rendezvous to this government’s stand, albeit wanting, during the Libyan crisis.
One would imagine he wouldn’t have a problem with paradox.
Anything to refute the plausibility of an irrevocable truth.
Nauseating. Socialism. Mintoff style.
Never mind that, Ciccio. Look at THIS!

I had such high hopes on you. But it appears you’re a Nazzjonalist.

Strange. Today’s “major news” from the DPRK – the country which according to the wishes of the Generalissimo Labour Leader Joseph Muscat is undergoing “shining achievements in economic construction under the wise leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un” – is about the Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un posing for some photo sessions. Yet, no photos have been published. It’s a pity, we’ve lost an opportunity to see some of the shining achievements.

What a dreadful country
Labour doesn’t think so, they were working very hard to create the same worker’s paradise over here.
They shared the same notions of national culture, the role of the media, ambiguous foreign relations, the draconian monopoly of internal matters, the individual’s productivity as an engineered social utility alone, integration of unions and party into a central politburo, the suspension of constitutional rights in the name of the great cause and finally, perhaps the most callous of all, the brainwashing and regimentation of children into uniformed brigades.

As they say, we are one.
Yet another of brilliant consequences of the second world war and the (hopefully) last bastion of communism. Marx was a great man and would have shuddered to see this form of oppression brought upon workers in his name.
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Andrew Azzopardi being a bit less than intelligent.

Andrew should fly to London, sit on a wheelchair and make his way to the railway network. He’ll see for himself that the half-baked solution (as he puts it) is in fact THE solution for all overground rail in the UK. Furthermore, the vast majority of tubes cannot take disabled persons because (1) they have no lifts, (2) they have no ramps to get into the wagon.
Andrew, mind the gap (in your knowledge).
It seems that the PL has now morphed into a GPS.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120417/local/Stipends-sacred-for-Labour.415836
Now everyone who used a GPS knows what a piece of useless equipment it becomes if the maps are not updated.
So if I take a look at the PL do I get the idea of an updated party? Let’s see – Karmenu Vella, George Vella, Debono Grech, Coleiro Preca, Sant, Sciberras Trigona, Yana Mintoff, a longing love for Gheddafi and Korean dictators etc. etc. Updated? Not Really.
What is also worrying is that this roadmap is being mastered by Karmenu Vella – one just hopes that his reading of navigational co-ordinates has improved.
You forgot the one and only Joe Grima.
Very,very sad…….. no adjectives can ever describe this life…
Has any one noticed that word “again” in the following statement by KCNA?
“The leader of the Malta Labor Party expressed deep condolences again over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il on behalf of the Party Central Committee and on his own behalf. “
My skin crawls at the prospect of Joseph’s modern and progressive movement running the show from Castille some time in the near future.
Bondi+ was quite a treat yesterday, with the hapless Leo Brincat trying to stick up for Alex and Co.
300 automatic assault guns and 180,000 rounds eh? What was the vision, Palermo?
The fact neither the international secretary, nor the leader, have been able to face a camera, speaks volumes.
So was Karl Gouder, giving the latest Labour candidate, one of the kont ghadni u nibqa’ variety, a piece of his mind.
What exactly is Musumeci up to? I see the licence and frequency war between Smash and One is over, now that Grima’s firmly ensconced in Herrera’s Labour, KMB’s Hansford is out and Sandro Chetcuti can play deejay.
Talk about daisy chains.
What was Musumeci wearing on his head yesterday? A dead skunk?
On INKONTRI tonight, Karl Gouder and Clyde Puli were heckled loudly by brand-new Labour candidates, who showed us the shape of things to come under a future New Labour government reminiscent of the Old Mintoffian era.
Can someone please point out to the young Labour dottoressa that her continual grotesque grimaces and eye-rolling are rude and ridiculous.
I hope she is better behaved when representing her clients in front of a judge or magistrate in a court room.
Simply horrific.
The admission to the press by Joseph Muscat on Sunday that he had expressed condolences – without colourful adjectives, he said – to the North Korean Ambassador for the death of Kim Jong Il is disturbing news indeed.
This shows very serious poor judgement on the part of the Labour leader, who projects himself as prospective Prime Minister of one of the Member States of the EU. The seriousness of that act has probably been underestimated by observers.
For more than half a century, North Korea has been led by some of the world’s worst dictators who have shown no regard for human rights, basic freedoms, and democracy. North Korea’s paranoid leaders have isolated their people from the outside world, and from their families in the South.
The country they built is a shining example of a highly militarised, secretive state.
More than fifty years after the war with the South was terminated, the country is officially still at war.
The regime maintains one of the world’s largest armies, and a significant proportion of the country’s scarce resources are employed in the development of nuclear arms, with no observance of international treaties.
Invariably, the foreign governments that send their greetings to the North Korean Leaders are led by fellow dictators and murderers: Mugabe, Assad, Chavez, Castro.
Western leaders have used the occassion of the death of the North Korean dictator as an opportunity to express hope for change in the country, while they anxiously observed the completion of the transition of power to an inexperienced young leader.
Dr. Muscat’s secretive expression of condolences to a dictator does not augure well for Labour’s foreign policy. But then Dr. Muscat’s policies have often been best described as “with hindsight.”
Joe Mifsud, who’s been getting some flak from the Labour press recently, couldn’t have put it better.
The party leader should have distanced himself and declined to meet the ambassador. Something the PM cannot do.
Leo Brincat went as far as saying that protocol didn’t necessarily dictate this, omitting to mention the PM’s blunt condemnation of North Korea’s defiant stand.
If that’s the case, it doesn’t reflect well on the late leader.
How powerful is Alex Sceberras Trigona, and to what extent does this influence Karmenu Vella’s travesty of policy?
Charles Mangion, the other notary, is showing signs of impatience. Unless he has exclusive rights to internal affairs.
Professor Grech persists with his blanket allegations against doctors, medical students and the MAM whilst Joseph Muscat is photographed sucking up to the MAM for votes.
Hawwadni ha nifmek.
