No self awareness

Judging by his self-satisfied smile when the show closed, Anglu Farrugia must think he did really well.
Miskin.
U msieken ahna ukoll.

After this evening’s discussion, I’ve got some advice for JosephMLP: accept Anglu Farrugia’s resignation with immediate effect because it’s the only way you’re going to checkmate the PN.
Checkmate the PN! They are about five moves ahead at the minute. The good thing about this election is that not only will all the PL supporters be voting for PL but a lot of the PN supporters as well.

Whatever you care to believe which by the way seems to change by the week! Anyway whoever I am and wherever I am I seem to know more about what’s happening than you do. I mean you still think that retard Gonzi is going to get re-elected!
James Alexander Tyrell – The guy who is forever berating this government, the prime minister and the Nationalist Party.
He presents himself as a ‘tourist’. Tourists come to Malta to enjoy themselves and not to write insulting and degrading comments on the internet forums of countries they visit.
He also has the gall to give us his unsolicited advice on various matters. Poor guy, what has Dr. Gonzi done to him to deserve such daily diatribe and do not give me the crap that he is doing it for the love of Malta. We Maltese are quite capable of selecting our politicians.
As opposed to that spacker Muscat?
Msieken ahna biss mhux hu because he is too stupid to know otherwise.
Erm …..he DID do very well, actually.
[Daphne – Get your head examined, Martin.]
In relative terms, he did far better than I expected him to. In absolute terms, ħares lejja…
Ha! It seems that at least someone managed to understand a word that Anglu was saying.
As far as I’m concerned, he was all over the place when trying to argue something out.
Yes, for you and your ilk, he did, Martin. I have no doubts.
It just goes to show your level of intelligence.
Daphne, Martin is probably right. He votes Labour so he must have very low expectations plus a warped sense of judgement.
Martin, hares lejja, hares lejja. If this is what you call “doing well,” then let me tell you that we can do a lot better and we deserve a lot better.
Imsieken ahna. The Labour core vote obviously think he did stupendously.
The ex-PN protest vote probably don’t care either way.
And the switchers will think twice about voting for Labour, but they’ll probably just switch to an abstention.
Whether that is enough to keep the horrors at bay is anybody’s guess.
Mhux ta b’xejn jahrab Anglu, ta.
Lanqas jafu x’laqatom minn mindu minghalihom waqqghu lill-gvern. Ahseb u ara jekk ikunu fil-gvern huma.
A bestial performance! And what’s this ‘Doing Business Together’ organization anyway? The webpage is wiped out. Ridiculous.
Unbelievable. Our deputy prime minister.
Seeing him on TV, struggling to get past the basics of economy, gave me the creeps.
Let alone considering the future of those very same people he mentions.
How fragile a democracy can be.
Martin – go vote Labour on the 9th of March. You HAVE to.
Epic Fail
Quite a few “Mulej Hudni” moments for Anglu.
Now he really is the underdog.
We don’t need anyone to tell us how much Anglu was a disaster. It is self evident.
But Simon was well below my excpectations. Too soft an approach & sometimes unconvincing. Did not impress me at all. Perhaps the best evidence against Simon is the scarceness of comments here praising him. So few…
To win an election telling that Anglu & co is dumb is not enough.
It’s hard for an intelligent man to talk to an idiot, and harder still to hold a debate. I understand Simon Busuttil’s discomfort. It was palpable.
As the ones up north would say , era come sparare sulla croce rossa.
So true. Anglu is the sublimation of idiocy. Simon’s discomfort was evident. He could have trashed his adversary in minutes … but he didn’t.
The only thing he did was be uncomfortable. And this worries me because to win debates the delivery matters a lot.
Substance alone is not enough in a world flooded by images. Simon’s could have demolished Anglu but he did not. He needs to learn to be more aggressive.
“Simon Busuttil could have demolished him but he did not”.
First, Simon Busuttil is no bulldozer.
Secondly, the few minutes I watched the debate, Simon Busuttil was calm, cool and composed, which composure is by far more convincing than anything else.
Agreed, maybe having a media resigned to Labour doesn’t help either.
Accepting Joseph’s dictum when to ask the questions is ridiculous. What the PN shouldn’t do is wait for him to peak, he won’t.
Anglu your presentation was a worse disaster then your good self………….or shall I say bad self?
What a sad way to spend a Saturday night. Pity you lot. As if that were not enough, you then vent your frustration here with your posts and comments.
Losers’ club if you ask me.
[Daphne – Actually, mandango, losers go out on a Saturday night. That’s why it’s known as ‘amateur night’. This does not apply, of course, if you are in your teens or 20s.]
mandango70 showers once a week, puts on his striped red shirt, his faded brown pants, a yellow spotted tie and his imitation leather jacket (you know, his Saturday best) and goes out for a pizza and later to on of those ‘hamalli clubs’ where all the losers meet and talk about nothing.
Pity you lot, indeed.
It’s no wonder you vote Labour. Only somebody who doesn’t follow the debates and who has no idea what’s going on can vote for them.
That’s all you could manage “mandago70”?
Please, do not. Pity us.
Many of us did all the partying when we were younger. Now there are better things we enjoy doing, Mandango, and believe it or not, it’s extremely fun.
Leave the pity for someone who goes out to eat a lousy cheese platter on a Friday or Saturday night and feels the need to post a photo of it on Facebook.
Mandango, your night could not have been much better, if you’re posting comments at 7.20 on a Sunday morning.
Movement speak Daphne, now that we’re down to the business, time to distract the viewer.
Perpetuate the advantage via indolence. Perhaps snap elections shouldn’t carry campaigns either.
Need I go on Mandango? Your intellectual dishonesty is so pronounced, one’s tempted to think you’re paid.
The best part is that funnily enough taht Gonzi mandango jaffordja Saab 9-3 u taht il-Labour ma setax hlief jixtri xi Lada Samara.
I bet the graphs Anglu pulled out had a mark for Anglu to hold them from, because he cannot tell a bar graph from a lollipop.
He does not know how VAT works, and he still thinks he is in one of the police HQ dark rooms interrogating Nationalist Party supporters and other Evil Anti-Labour types.
And while we’re at it, can our hallowed Akkademja issue guidelines on the correct use of dramatic terms?
An increase from 80 to 88 does not qualify as “sploda”. 250-odd fewer self-employed, from among a population of 430 000, over five years, do not constitute a “tnaqqis allarmanti”.
I’ve often said that half the reason Maltese politics is so shockingly moronic is the incorrect use of a language that is already inadequate. Now we have it on the record.
What isn’t said is that the decrease in self-employed persons is mainly due to the new legislation clamping down on dodgy employers keeping employees on self-employed contracts who have had to regularise their positions.
First Labour bitch about impjiegi prekarji and after the administration deal with it you get this.
Heads I win, tails you lose.
Well at least he has some OSCE role. Thankfully he did not try to read it as is.
Are political activities supposed to be suspended till after the festive season? So why is there a Taht it-Tinda’ by the Labour Party here in Rabat today?
[Daphne – Political activities stop tomorrow.]
That was a Monty Python moment when Anglu berated the government for increasing income from indirect taxes, when what he was trying to show was how many TAXES where introduced.
Let us repeat together: INCOME FROM TAXES DOES NOT MEAN INCREASED TAXATION.
It is a certificate for the guys running the economy. Bet Mario Monti would have loved to show a graph like the one our beloved Anglu showed us on TV.
So when is the next round?
I am still amazed at how this man – and the people around him – think he has any shred of credibility.
I remember sneaking into friends’ houses when the church schools were closed. I remember a truckload of goons led by the weasel with a torca as a misluta barging their way into the Lyceum 6th form with policemen all looking away. I remember being terrified.
I remember this troglodyte being an inspector. Now he preaches unity? What is wrong with this country?
Arrogance, ignorance and incompetence combined into one individual
Sa ftit jiem ilu kont qed nahseb li ma nivvutax ghax m’ghandiex fiducja fil-partiti. Imma thanks li rajt lil Anglu daqsekk patetiku qed inbiddel l-opinjoni ghax ta’ l-inqas ahjar politku brikkun (biex ma nuzax kelma ohra) milli politiku idjota.
I’m always surprised by the lack of self awareness of people like Anglu Farrugia, Toni Abela, Silvio Parnis and Edwin Vassallo.
You wouldn’t want such people running a pastizzerija, let alone a ministry.
