His liver-spotted, shrunken brother was busy pontificating on Super One last night with Mrs Dominic Azzopardi and Mr Consuelo Herrera.
Now here’s Joseph Grima on Facebook, rewriting history and reality. Are there any sane people left out there, and would you all like to take refuge with me in the nearest asylum?

I was very poor in 1980. I recuperated in 1992.
Dad lost his job in the 80s. I had one pair of shoes called Sanga which were passed on to me by my sister.
School outings were my nightmare whenever they came up cause Mum couldn’t send me, to save on extra costs, so she used to put the money aside to buy me school books instead.
I had one school bag which was expensively bought from the only bag shop in Valletta.
I was brought up deprived, I lived deprived, and I surely know what living in deprivation means.
No, Mr Grima, many families were truly poor under your beloved Labour government. I came from one of them.
Min jiskongra irid ikun pur, Sur Joe Grima.
L-ewwel jiehdu l-Laburisti, t-tieni jiehdu l-Laburisti, t-tielet jiehdu l-Laburisti, u jekk jiqba jiehdu l-Laburisti.
Joe Grima.
Holma kerha kellu miskin,u x’hin qam sab li far bil-flus,mhux hu biss imma anke wliedu.
Vera holma ja bniedem minajr principru, holma sabieha.
Issa jekk dan il-poplu jiggennen u jtella l’MLP fil-gvern il-holma ssir NIGHTMARE.
The last thing we should do is forget, it s their arrogance most people will remember just like we still remember your arrogance SUR GRIMA.
Comments like this remind me of the past and make me go out and vote PN.
It seems to me he was much leaner during the Golden Years
Joe Grima u Deborah Schembri huma ezempji tipici ta kemm il-Maltin spiccaw ghadam u gilda taht il-GonziPN.
“ITILQU U TUNA CANS NINSEWKOM” wonder if he was looking in the mirror
Is this guy for real? I was born in ’79. I remember change for the better could really be felt around ’89.
And I don’t say this glibly, because I was sitting for the junior lyceum exams, so the year sticks out in particular.
Taghtuhx tort ghax miskin uliedu mejtin bil-guh. Inkwetat fuqhom.
Funny man.
Mela, jidher id-dawl minnhu daqs kif sar b’din is-sofferenza kollha.
Under MLP I was on life supporting system – touch and go. Today under the PN administrations I am running effortlessly the NY and Boston Marathon.
Imbasta jitkellem, u imbaghad inizzluh bil-crane mil-flat f’Tas-Sliema meta ihossu hazin.
Sur (mid-daqs) Joe Grima, jekk trid ezempju ta’ arroganza ghax ma ssemmix meta int u shabek Mintoffjani ggvernajtu ghal hames snin shah kontra r-rieda tal-poplu?
U Alla hares kont tghid xi haga kontra l-gvern ghax kont tispicca mdamdam. Insejtu zmienek, ja ipokrita?
In these 25 years of “famine”, I bought a house, got married, paid off my debt, travel once a year, changed my car twice and I am in the process of buying a second property.
All of this while living comfortably and raising two small children. By no means am I rich…just a hard worker enjoying the opportunities that the PN governments gave me.
Now using the fat idiot’s rationale, when Joseph gets to office I’ll be a millionaire. Now that’s food for thought when deciding who to vote for…..yeah right. F**k off to wherever you crawled out from and take the idiots from your party with you.
Maybe this poor `great` old Labour heavyweight should be given another reserved parking space at the Sleima Ferries ,miskin.
Ahna xtaqna ninsew lilek u l-hnizrijiet tieghek kieku imma sfortunatament ma tajtniex cans ghax bil-pastazati tieghek immirati lejn nies prominenti bhal Barroso u l-qassis Ingliz ma stajniex.
Inhares lejk u nghid le zgur li qatt ma nasal li nivvota lill-partit li ghad ghandu lilek mieghu.
If what he said is true, it’s because he ate it all.
Jidher hu li sofra ghax ghadma u gilda gie taht amministrazzjoni Nazzjonalista
Veru xagurata biex hallewk xi zmien ilu tidher fuq in-Net.
Illum qieghed titkellem hekk!
Saqsi lill Glann Bettingfield Guz, kemm hu mifni u fqir?
Kullhadd bil BMWs bil-Mercedes u karozzi godda – anzi tas-Sliema toqghod int, suppost tarahom dawn, sakemm ma mortx minn ghajnejk ukoll.
Mifni u fqir jien kont 30 sena ilu narak iddardar l’Alla li halqek il-pjazza ta Rahal Gdid.
Zmien id-dlam Guz dak kien – ghamel pjacir lilek innifsek u itlob lill istess Alla jiehdok, illum qabel ghada.
I was born in the early eighties and my parents used to beg for chocolates from people going abroad because I could not stomach Desserta.
Nowadays I’m a graduate, have a family and own a house. All thanks to PN.
If only Joe Grima would leave and let us forget him.
hahaha a little bit fat coming from a symbol of abundance.
Inti zgur u ‘l-klikka tieghek kontu u ghadkom sinjuri imma mhux il-poplu.
Another one who wants us to forget that Labour was in power between 1996 and 1998.
That’s 15 years of continuous PN Government, Mr Grima, not 25. The disasters of those 22 months are still one of the biggest blots on our economic history.
These sort of comments will only be believed by the people who will vote Labour no matter what.
Dan qed johlom jew. Fi zmienu pajjiz tal-misthijja. Trid is-siefer u tahbi xi flus, halli tkun tista tixtri hwejjeg, zraben, cukkulata u mijiet ta affarjiet ohra.
Konna qiesna pajjiz tat-tielet dinja. Nixtieq nistaqssi lill wiehed mit-tfal tieghu huwiex ta l-istess parir.
Dan imbierrek Alla dawn l-ahhar 25 sena ghamel hafna business u qala hafna flus.
Mghiniex inhehhi xejn mil-meritu tal-kapacita’ tieghu, imma huwa ukoll li kien hawn il-flus fl-idejn anke fiz-zaghzah, ghax kieku zgur li ma kienx ikun hekk.
Staqsi lit-tifel Mark halli jghidlek bl-investiment li sar go Paceville dawn l-ahhar 25 sena. U skuzi mhux hemm biss, imma hafna lokalitajiet madwar Malta. dan kollu sar biss sahha ukoll tal-PN.
Min irid jitkellem…. jidher fik ukoll, il-guh u l-ghaks li sofrejt dawn l-ahhar 25 sena! Inti, trid titkellem dwar l-arroganza – int mhux Joe “Over My Dead Body” Grima?
Int u shabek il-Laburisti tghajjru lill-Gonzi li baqa’ mkahhal mal-poter, mela x’ghamiltu intom fl-’81 meta bqajtu fil-gvern kontra r-RIEDA TAL-MAGGORANZA TAL-ELETTORAT, u inti, iktar minn haddiehor, ma ridt li jkun hemm ebda ftehim?
Ara sewwa qallek xi hadd qabli: “Biex tiskongra trid tkun pur!”
Naf zgur li l-MLP fil-gvern ta’ zmien Joe Grima qatt ma ahna ser ninsew izda mhux ghal gid li halla ghax dak gawdewh ta’ klikka bhal Lay Lay u ohrajn,izda ghal vjolenza u terrur li konna nghixu dak iz-zmien tant li anke Joe Grima stess kien jakkuzhom li harqulu l-istazzjon Live FM ghax ghamel zmien jaqbel ma’ Fenech Adami.
The Maltese expression “wiccu u sormu l-istess” really suits this guy.
Exactly. And even the following suits him: Jitkellem mit-toqba ta’ s*rmu.
Is it possible that there exist people with a brain the size of a pea who could believe this bully?
I’ve got a feeling that Joe Grima hates Joseph Muscat, because every time that he opens his big, fat and ugly mouth he causes irreparable damage to the PL.
May he and others of the same calibre continue up to the 9th March.
@ Joe Grima
“F’GIEH ALLA U F’GIEH DAK KOLLU LI GHADU SHIH F’HAJJITNA”
You fucking bastard – you, of all people, invoke the name of God for your own gain. Have you forgotten the 70s and 80s, you morbidly obese sweaty hog?
How your wife had to put up with you all those years (until she dumped you) I cannot imagine.
Int l-ikbar hmieg li qatt rajt f’hajti.
Seems you have forgotten the days when you collected fees door to door for Rediffusion, you sad fuck.
Can you please stop moderating your language? He deserves much worse.
Imma dan jiftakar li f’xi zmien matul dawn il-hamsa u ghoxrin sena li qed jirreferi ghalihom kien sab refugju taht in-Nazzjonalisti u kien jghid li l-Labour qerduh?
Dan belgha xi fliexkun xorb qabel ma qal hekk? Monstru bhal dan.
Jien kelli holma kerha dan l-ahhar. Air crash fl-Andes, u mill-passiggieri salvajna biss jien u Joe Grima. Wara jumejn spiccaw l-inflight snacks…
Irringrazzja l-Alla li lahqu servew jumejn l-inflight snacks.
Kieku inti qbadt tiekol lil Joe Grima kien ikollok biex tiekol ghal hames snin. Legislatura shiha.
Naturalment, dan kollu fil-holm, eh, biex Franco Debono ma jehodniex litteralment.
Ugh – I’d prefer to starve
@Joe Grima.Veru irid ikollok wiccek miksi tilja h*r* biex tkun int, of all people li takkuza lil haddiehor b’arroganza.Mela qed tahseb li in- nies insew kif kont tagixxi int meta kont ministru f’regim li kien qed jiggverna kontra ir rieda tal maggoranza?
Dak iz-zmien int kont imdawwar bil bulijiet tat- Tieni Distrett u kont tara lil kulhadd dubbien Kulhadd jaf lil min hallejtu sinjur. Int taf tisthi jew?
Il-vera m’ghandekx zejt f’wiccek, Sur Grima.
Fuck off, you bloody piece of shit.
Iva qed narak Sur Grima jien mejjet bil-guh.
Thares lejk taqta’ l-aptit.
Hallina minnek!
Ma jisthix minn Alla li halqu dan.
Bhalxejn tant ilu jghidha li sar jemminha.
1987 hu zmien twil ilu, imma mhux ghal min ra lil niesu jissawtu u jinqerdu ghal xejn b’xejn.
Yes of course, because in the 80s everyone was living in villas in the countryside, Mr Grima.
The Island is literally littered with BMWs.
Only yesterday, an acquaintance told me that there are more BMWs in Malta than in Chelsea where she lives.
Vera ‘poplu mifni’ kif jghid dan l-ebete minfuh.
Joe Grima,
Lorry Sant kien wiehed mill-akbar korrotti u krimnali li kien hawh fi zmien il-Labour. Izda int ma’ tantc kont il-boghod minnu.
Ghandek ragun tghid li n-Nazzjonalisti qerdu pajjiz ghax int minn bicca prezentatur sirt sinjur.
Int personali anke vjolenti kont ghax illum in-nies forsi insew jew ma’ jiftakrukx fi zmien il-Labour ghax hawn min ghadu zghir u ma’ jafx.
Bir-ragun tghid hekk ghax anke lill-uliedek ghamilthom nies fiz-zmien il-Labour bil-korruzzjoni. Ghidilna kif haddtu Ir-Raffles Disco Guz?
Jekk hawn il-guh, thares lejn Joe Grima tkun taf ta’ min hu l-tort. Ghaliex kiel kollox.
Ic-Cuc ma ttihx tort li jahseb li kulhadd cuc bhalu.
That fat jellyroll Joe Grima has been labelled a big liability to the Labour party by the PL supporters themselves ever since he attacked that priest.
Joe Grima seems to forget the unfortunate charitable act by THE NATIONALIST PARTY, when they gave him space on Net TV.
Insejt, sur Grima? Bil-haqq, ir-Raffles ghadu takhom?
Ma tantx jidher mejjet bil-guh is-Sur Grima. Jew forsi ghax dejjem bil-guh… allura tort tal-Gvern…
Sure the past 25 years have been absolutely terrible for the likes of Joe Grima.
In his political heyday, life was good. Very, very good. For him and those very few that made up Labour and friends.
That bubble and its very generous perks went pop in 1987, and JG and Co. were no longer “more equal than others”.
Almost every word he says is gospel truth, seen from his perspective.

hares madwarek, purcinell.
Hallejtu l-Malta pajjiz tat-tielet dinja wara 16-il sena taht il hakma tal-Labour tieghek.
Lilna gibtuna fqar. Ohti ghadha tarbija ta’ ftit xhur u il-grocer ta’ hdejna qalli f’wicci, “M’ghandix halib ghalikhom ghax inthom Nazzjonalisti.”
U dan mhux l-uniku incident.
Insejtu zmienek, zibel.
Nirrah titilfu din l-elezzjoni forsi zzarmaw darba ghal-dejjem, u minflok dak il-bini tal-hgieg jittellaw appartamenti bil-lapida ‘Hawnhekk ghexu tal-Labour, li ilhom ma jkunu fil-poter minn 1998 sa 2018 – R.I.P. Min jghid ir-regna materna quddiem din il-lapida jinhafrulu dnubietu.’
Dan il-bniedem jaf jisthi?
Piss off, Joe.
He looks like he really starved and suffered these last 25 years.
