As long as they can, it&#039;s theirs for the taking. He said so himself. 

The PN has a duty to restore perspective, the meaning of words (don&#039;t give me context), and the restoration of others. 

Joseph Muscat has been overtaken by the Moviment posit: it cannot exist as long as there&#039;s a real PN, that should be within the Movement &#039;ta&#039; Maltin&#039; (read ta&#039; rieda tajba, remember that?) by now, leaving gonziPN &#039;barrani&#039; as oppressor. 

It&#039;s a dogged determination to instill a feel-good factor about a Labour victory. The use of symbol, words, images and their decontextualisation, The playful (ludica, heda) irony, essentially Italian, is key to all this. 

To be more specific, a Romanaccio burino, rightist, vulgar, rassegnato. 

Sharon and her tongue sticking out, Sandro Chetcuti and his buffoonery, Toni Abela and his puppets, Joseph basically a step away from gloating at what he&#039;s managed to create, a media circus. Not to mention the tweeters, like Mintoff and KMB man Leo Brincat.

The opposite of Dario Fo&#039; and Benigni, avowed enemies of Berlusconi, banished from TV, who still brought him down with a simple idea: beauty as truth. 

The PN, in my view, hasn&#039;t yet decided whether it intends to uphold it, but of course words and meaning are being twisted. 

Muscat doesn&#039;t have a persona, delegating that to everyone instead; our own Big Brother with newspapers instead of cameras, a permanent silly season.  

Polls this week should indicate a saturation point and a marked increase in dissent towards politics.]]></description>

Poor security guards.  Don&#039;t tell me that yesterday he made them wait for 5 hours to come out of that meeting and tell them &quot;Take me home - I have said enough for today.&quot;]]></description>
