Did I hear that right?

Does anybody have the clip? Did that cabbage Anglu Farrugia – some deputy prime minister he’s going to make – really say that we’re in the middle of an ELECTRIC CAMPAIGN?
Tajba daqs tal-Empire Station, din. Oh, and incidentally, when he said the ‘Empire Station ta’ New York’ back then at the Labour annual conference, he didn’t mean the Empire State Building. It was the Statue of Liberty he was talking about.
Dear God. Somebody’s just sent in a comment telling me that actually, Anglu said ERECTRIC CAMPAIGN. This can only mean that when he pops a Viagra, he gets an election.

Should we get the clip, it would be on d rekort.
Yes, that’s what he said.
Yes, you heard right.
Actually it was much worse than that: it was ” Erectric campaign”
Had a party last Saturday at home and all 20 were laughing all the weekend about how eloquent our future “deputy prime minister” really is.
Erection campaign: very appropriate given that Labour are a load of pricks.
Lidl has just imported a container load of cucumbers. Should keep some people cool and satisfied.
[Daphne – Anglu Farrugia may be many things, but I’ve never heard it suggested that he’s into men.]
Ara Balky, ma kontx tghid li ma tidholx f’dan il-blog u issa spiccajt titfa l-posts ukoll!
Balky has been on this blog before but used to sign as Martin. Unless someone else is using the Balky nickname, that is.
allamana, eloquency and rethoric does NOT give you results but hard work does.
[Daphne – Eloquence and rhetoric.]
Alla maghna…..DO not
Magna cum laude indeed, this Anglu, anyway.
Thank you Balky The Village Idiot.
He also managed self-employeds.
@ balky
No one has the right to criticise me for not working hard.
From a student in the 1980’s and 1990’s, a government employee between 1990’s and 2000’s, and now runnnig my own business, providing work for 20 other people.
I believe that this gives me the right to criticise politicians being paid from my taxes; politicians who may undo the years of hard work that me and my family put in our business, just for the sake of being carted off to Brussels on a first class ticket paid by us.
And yes Daphne, the pun about the ‘assistant prime minister’ was intended.
I believe it was Napoleon Bonaparte who said that in politics being stupid is not a handicap. How true.
…but in the end, they self-destruct.
Debono, Pullicino Orlando Smith and Mugliett, immediately come to mind.
This guy has a doctoral degree in law, he must have more grey matter in his brain than the average man in the street.
I am not familiar with the university of Malta and on what merit such degrees (LLD) are conferred. In the UK lawyers do not get a doctorate.
“more grey matter in his brain than the average man in the street. ”
Are you sure of that? Then Anglu must be some kind of fluke.
Yes, I heard it. It went like this “electric camp… electro… [he meant electoral, then gave up]… election kampajn”. And the very Arabic “forrr damokrasi”.
Yes, he did and I rewinded it several times as I could not believe my ears.
You can watch it on http://tvm.com.mt/live/ – Friday – fast forward to 16:48:20 for his whole “MBAZWRA” or really SHOCKING speech on democracy. The famous electric or erectric word is at 16:48:43.
He also claimed that we are worse than some African nations. When asked to mention any country (as an example) he mentioned Columbia. Is that an African nation? Incredible.
Another blasphemous thing he said was that when Labour lowers electricity bills, then automatically the water rates will be lower because we use electricity to power desalination plants.
Needless to say, the moron didn’t realise that if the electricity bills are lower, it does not mean that the production costs of electricity will be lower.
It will only mean that Jack Citizen will receive lower bills but it won’t cost us LESS to product electricity.
What a bloody moron.
As I was away this week I missed all the fun last Friday and yesterday. Now I just watched the video being paraded on Maltastar of Franco during last Friday’s charade.
Fingers crossed, future is looking better for the PN.
If he really finds the election campaign erectric, then he is in worse shape than Tabone.
That is, assuming he has a clue about what the word erectric means.
I very much doubt it.
“This can only mean that when he pops a Viagra, he gets an election.”
If Labour wins the 9 March elections, I hope that he will pop a Viagra within a few months.
Franco the village idiot?…from times online:
But historian and one-time PL secretary general Dominic Fenech argued that the hullabaloo surrounding the incident was proof that politicians took themselves a bit too seriously.
“I saw it all as a prank which showed up PBS and the Xarabank producers. Why not go along with the programme? We’re hardly talking about a US Presidential debate here.”
He drew analogies with 19th century Maltese politics. “Back then, politicians would protest British rule by nominating the village idiot to the council of government, to discredit it. Yesterday, the PL protested it being dictated to by PBS,” Prof. Fenech said.
I know I read that and wondered whether it was his genial idea in the first place,
I have just heard online what Anglu said on One News, he actually said ‘elected campaign’ then he corrected himself and said ‘election campaign’.
He could not even say Simon Busuttil’s name correctly first time. He kept mumbling and looked agitated. He was trying to get himself out of the hole he dug himself.
Ohra: “Malta fil lista tal-korruzzjoni qeghda ar mil-pajjizi tal-Afrika… Ara, aktar l-isfel mil-Colombia”
M’ghadux ferocious?
The Elephant Man has just kicked off Labour’s rejection campaign. Totally useless.
You mean ejaculation campaign.
We should compile an ‘Anglu’s compendium of new words’.
Meta tkun injorant aktar ma’ tgjid u tipprova timpressjona aktar taqa’ ghac-cajt.
Jien ma’ nistax nifhem kif Anglu lahaq avukat. Ghadni imbellah sal-llum.
Avukat Simon ghax gabu dahna u dahhaq pajjiz b’Anglu.
Anke Laburisti stess qaluh dan.
Dan Anglu vera bniedem ma’ jisthix ghax jaqa ghac-cajt u ghar redikolu il-him kollu u jibqa jippoza qisu xi politikant kbir miskin.
Just like Simon Busuttil saying “attaki iMsensati” instead of insensati.
Well, I think we can safely say that if the PL wants to apply damage control, it should decline any televised debate for the following three months.
I’m sure you jest, but remember they pretty much did that last time when the boycotted Xarabank. It’ll be interesting to see which strategy is worse.
Even Lionel Logue would have a hard time helping this elephant herder.
Mur ara dalghodu kemm qalulu prosit lil Anglu kull fejn mar idur.
Nahseb anke Eddy Privitera jghidlu prosit ghax dak jifhem hafna.
Imsieken dawn tal-Labour u miskin ikun il-poplu jekk jivvota biex ikun hawn gvern Laburista ghax mhux talli ma’ nbidlux talli marru hafna ghal ghar. Il-bandiera u l-gharma bidluhom imma l-mentalita hija xi haga tal biki.
Dan hu il-partit modern u progressiv tal-Labour?
Mur ara dawk il-laburisti tal-affari taghhom kemm kbew il-bierah jaraw lil Anglu jaqa f’dik is-sitwazzjoni medjokra.
Dan partit bla vizjoni ta’ xejn.
Ta’ bilhaqq, fejn stahba Eddy minn nhar il-Gimgha ‘l hawn?
Possibbli li huwa laburist u jaf xi tfisser ‘misthija’?
We should do a gabra and buy him some of those blue pills to help him out miskin…you know, the ones used for erectric dysfunction.
L’unika vizjoni li ghandu il-Labour hi ta’ kif se jinganna lill-poplu biex jivvutalu sabiex akkost ta’ kollox jirbah il-poter.
Din mhix vizjoni serja ta’ kif tmexxi pajjiz, anzi dan huwa qerq u ngann politiku u loghobha bil-futur tal-pajjiz u ta’ uliedna.
Ta’ min janalizza sew x’qed jghid li ghandu x’joffri il-Labour ghax nergghu nesperjenzaw xi tracedja ohra bhal ma’ gara bejn in- 1996 u 1998 meta kissru is-sistema tal VAT u iffrizaw l-applikazzjoni ghal EU u l-pajjiz mar 100 sena lura ghax ma’ kellhom vizjoni ta’ xejn.
Il-bierah smajna lil Anglu Farrugia li huwa il-Vici kap tal-Partit Laburista u ma’ harget ebda sustanza jew ideja ta’ kif se jmexxu l-pajjiz. Anke dwar il-kustjoni tal-ilma u d-dawl thawwad ghax pjan ma’ hemmx.
Dawn nies tal-biza u bla idejat u jekk ikollom l-icken peoblema l-ewwel ma jiggieldu mal-EU ghax dawn nies rashom iebsa bla vizjoni u njoranti.
Dawn nies mhux ta’ min jafdhom. Il-Malti ghandu jkun ghaqli u jibza ghall- futur ta’ pajjizu u aktar u aktar ghall-futur ta’ uliedu.
Malta saret l-ghira ta’ pajjizi hafna akbar minnha f’kull qasam u m’ghandniex ghalfejn nippruvaw gvern gdid li qatt ma’ qalilna x’ser jaghmel meta dawn in-nies hlif imaqdru l-gid li sar ma’ jaghmmlux.
F’sentejn harbtu pajjiz ahseb u ara x’jaghmlu f’hames snin!
