    What’s the point of this farce, exactly?

    Since unlike the PN’s, the discussion was closed without anybody being able to join in, they might as well have carted off the eight stooges to Super One and shot them there with the dear leader in a proper way fit to be televised.

    As it is, they hardly made proper use of the internet, the major strength of which is its immediacy and interactivity.

    With this laughable waste of bandwidth they have really shown us what we already knew – that they don’t have a clue.

    What a boring hangout, and I am not talking about the technical issues and background noise (at one point, I swear, I could hear Franco’s cocks beaking each other).

    How could the participants suppress their yawns?

    The participants rightfully ask a number of questions.

    But Dr. Muscat is simply unable to provide focused, concise and determinate answers.

    He waffles along with a long-winded “say all you know” type of answer and when he comes to explain how he will do it he will just throw in a few buzzwords and waits for a thank you.

    This is absolutely ridiculous and shameful. “25 years” in opposition, 4 years of new leadership, zero substance.

    If you ask me, the Malta Labour Party has a serious policy crisis. As long as that problem stays with the party, who cares. The problem is this is the Maltese government from 2013.

    May I suggest that you take a good look at the people participating in this hengout.

    We’ll be seeing them promoted in some way or other to managerial posts or better as soon as Labour is in government.

    Their participation, in addition to their daily ministrations on Facebook in favour of anything Labour, is meant to consolidate their ‘Labour-proof CV.’

    Our future Prime Minister cannot even pronounce Maltese correctly let alone lead the country.

      My thoughts exactly. Even his pronunciation sucks.

      I find his accent extremely irritating. I don’t know if former Super One journalist Joe Mifsud is also from Burmarrad. He has the same accent.

      [Daphne – Joe Mifsud is from Mosta. The accents are practically identical, given that Mosta and Burmarrad are practically the same place.]

        I know several people from the area, many of whom speak with an accent only when they speak dialect – as soon as they start to speak standard Maltese their accent disappears and are able to pronounce it perfectly.

        I do not find it irritating except when the leader of the opposition and future PM fails to understand where and when it is appropriate to speak with a heavy accent and where and when it is not.

        If he is not even able to make such a very small effort when he speaks I dread to think how the hell he has in mind to do the job of a Prime Minister.

    Kelma li tidiskrivi li JosephPL hi tal-biza, juri li bhal ma gara fi zmien Sant ma hemm l-ebda plan ta’ kif ser imexxi hlief li l-aqwa li jkun fil-gvern.

    Kull ma ghogbitni kienet li fuq stil ta’ Fantozzi meta wiehed minn dawk li saqsieh fuq jekk mhux ahjar li mara toqghod il-dar, JosephPL bil-wicc vili kollu qal li hemm bzonn iva li mara tohrog tahdem.

    Imma dan il-kliem ma jiswiex ghall-mara tieghu ghax dik issa tkun Is-Sinjura Prim Ministru mhux hekk u din ma ghandiex thammeg idejha.

    So, here we have a financial services clerk who voted to keep Malta out of the EU. Nice.

    Isn’t it ironic that Joseph Muscat tries to make the most of the technology which his hero – Mintoff – tried so hard to deprive Malta of?

    A middle-aged man hangs out on Google, attracting middle-aged viewers with non-questions.

    http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120806/local/Muscat-hangs-out-on-Google.431661
    During the chat viewers were encouraged to submit their own questions on YouTube but only 18 comments were sent in: two were from PL activist Cyrus Engerer, one was a comment about the bad sound, another two wrote in to praise the initiative and another two simply read “Dear Joseph”.

    Go to 04:14 in the video.

    He is speaking about the middle class in a very condescending tone. Who does he think he is?

    It is obvious that the whole thing is staged. And not very well, I must say. The thing about the Olympics nearly made me throw up.

    Unbelievable.
