    Shouldn’t the media be picking up and exposing these serious character flaws and lies?

    Who in his right mind would vote for a liar?

    (scratch that last comment – because I know exactly who would.)

    The problem is that the sheep watching One TV will unconditionally believe whatever Joseph (And Alfred, Karmenu and Dom before him) says … and then repeat it in there every argument.

    What a liar! And yet the closed-minded, short-sighted young listeners on Sunday believed him. When this guy is elected to occupy Castille, he will run over them and their dreams like a bulldozer. Imsieken.

    As expected, Joseph made a number of mistakes there.

    1. He quoted a liar. Tony Bliar lost most of his credibility about the War on Iraq and the WMD issues. As in:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/world/europe/03britain.html

    2. He quoted Wikipedia, but did not acknowledge that fact.

    Which says a lot about Joseph Muscat’s sources of information.

    “Blair’s election literature in the 1983 UK general election endorsed left-wing policies that Labour advocated in the early 1980s. He called for Britain to leave the EEC, though he had told his selection conference that he personally favoured continuing membership.”

    It is clear that even Wikipedia is insinuating an inconsistency between what Tony Blair declared to the selection conference and what his election literature stated.

    And in front of the European Parliament, Blair had the luxury to say half the truth and appear to still say the truth.

    Joseph Muscat wasn’t entirely wrong. Regardless of what Blair claimed in this video, Blair officially supported his anti-EEC party stance at the time.

    He supported the “Labour Party’s present leadership” on all important matters including “withdrawal from the EEC”. Mr Blair’s election leaflet said: “Above all, the EEC takes away Britain’s freedom to follow the economic policies we need.”

    His 1983 election address said: “We will negotiate withdrawal from the EEC which has drained our natural resources and destroyed our jobs.”

    Of course, he would later claim that he was constrained by his party. I prefer to think that, like Muscat, Blair was merely another opportunistic politician.

    It’s true, he does download his mistakes onto others, Anglu’s motion of no confidence comes to mind.

    He can’t really stretch it can he? Labour isn’t exactly the PN when it comes to internal squabbles, tending to be true to form. They follow the strongest character, not someone who shirks conviction to save his ass.

    This is what part of the election campaign should focus on. This is the baggage Joseph Muscat is bringing to the political scene. His much publicised “stil gdid”. Labour has this habit or arguing that the 1980s is part of our history, and is adamant of erasing the 1996-1998 Labour government. This would hold true if Labour had changed since then – not its logo or flag but its whole structures, shadow cabinet and policies. But no, a prospective Labour government will be made up of AST, Karmenu Vella, George Vella, Jason Micallef and most of the 1996-1998 Ministers including Alfred Sant himself. They will all be sitting on the government benches headed by Joseph Muscat – he who led the campaign against EU membership from the Super 1 news room and was then the first to take advantage of the European dream by fleeing to Brussels and remain there till he realised he could become the youngest Prime Minister ever. This is what “new” Labour is all about – and if people my age were too young to remember tal-Barrani or the bulk buying or the black & white tvs, we remember quite well our stipends being turned to loans and our European dream risking being shattered by Joseph and his skewed partnership vision.

    Labour accuses PN or being old and of having lost all energy to govern. PN have been in power for 25 years Labour say. But the PN has in the mean time renewed itself and there is no such equivalent of AST, Karmenu Vella etc… The PN will present itself with Chris Said, Mario de Marco, Jason Azzopardi, Beppe Fenech Adami, Karl Gouder and others. And thank god, the PN got rid of the likes of Cyrus Engerer and will hopefully kick out Franco Debono and the other prima donnas.

    The Labour list for the next election will look more of a zombie movie line-up then anything else, and we majtaswell start realising this….the sooner the better.
