Comments on: I don’t know how Labour isn’t ashamed of the typical quality of person who supports it, quite frankly https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2012/12/i-dont-know-how-labour-isnt-ashamed-of-the-typical-quality-of-person-who-supports-it-quite-frankly/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

Not a place to be found in their parking lot and a veritable crowd in the store. For a moment I thought they were giving stuff away.

Joseph will give this pea-brain the change he deserves, it will be from the frying pan and into the fire.

“It can’t get much worse” than what exactly? The jobs? The shopping going on at the moment in Valletta (I’ve just witnessed it), the full restaurants at lunch time (in Valletta), the impossible-to-get-an-appointment-at-short-notice salons and beauty parlours (or whatever they’re called nowadays)?

I simply cannot understand what people want. I really cannot.

Canon, two of the three stooges did give a guarantee that W & E tariffs will be reduced as follows:-

Not in the first year
Maybe in the second
Probably in the third
Definitely fl-anno mai

In case of real emergency, he can ask his friend and fellow ‘Laburust tal-Azzar’ il-kugin ta’ Gorg Vella to give him a few bob from his recent €800’000 windfall, which, as a true socialist, he will no doubt do with alacrity.

They have lived for nearly a quarter of a century under the oppressive rule of the PN, bar those 22 months in which the government was stolen from them (through PN tactics), and so can only relate to how they lived during the Mintofian Golden Age.

Coupled with this they have a leader who apparently will be able to walk on water once he becomes PM so you can understand their eagerness for going carcading next year.

I’ll bet his last post is on 21 December.

“I don’t like the look of you, please do not vote for me”

That would be me and why I am a lousy politician.

By getting social services handouts and, although possessing no brain, they’re usually amply supplied with brawn.

Could Kevin Seychell provide us with a photograph of himself?
