That cabbage Farrugia thinks that Colombia is in Africa (and he’s going to be deputy prime minister)

I thought I heard him say this, but wasn’t sure and have now received confirmation:
MALTA FIL-LISTA TAL-KORRUZZJONI QEGHDA AGHAR MIL-PAJJIZI TAL-AFRIKA. ARA, AKTAR L-ISFEL MIL-COLOMBIA.

Mil “Kolumbja” mhux mil Colombia.
Actually that would be “mill-Kolumbja”.
Please leave cabbages alone. It’s really not their fault that Anglu confuses Africa with South America.
Apart from his lack of general knowledge and common sense, although he claimed to have read the statistics of the Corruption Perception Index from one of his many printouts (as a child uses flash cards when he can’t remember what he studied at school), the facts were totally wrong.
From the same document that he supposedly quoted, Malta is ranked 43rd in the world and Colombia 94th.
Dumb even without moustaches
Anglu kien qed jaqra’ bil-maqlub probabilment, kif kienu jaghmlu l-MLP bir-rizultati tal-ezami tat-tourist guides meta kienu fil-gvern.
The man was simply lying and hoping to get away with it.
U iva kemm taghggbuhom, Sawt Amerika, Sawt Afrika, mhux xorta?
Insomma le ghandu jkun m’hemmx elufanti fil-Colombia.
I nominate Anglu for Foreign Affairs Minister
Am sure he will do a very good job.
I also recommend the Perm Sec at the Ministry to procure some Euro 15.99 illuminated globes from Lidl and place them in strategic places, like the Ministerial table, toilet, and in all meeting rooms.
He should ensure that at least Africa, Europe and South America are clearly marked.
Some English lessons would also be in order.

Malta 43rd place

I would like you to show more respect towards cabbages,

Also, corruption perception is not quite the same thing as actual corruption. Just sayin’.
The list is endless.
He said twice that “on average” (similar to On the record,din?) tax increased from Eur 400 million to i don’t know what. On average?
Then he said that the Government found BWSC from the Yellow Pages. Never knew that foreign companies are listed on the Yellow Pages.
Idiot.
He should become the next Minister of Foreign Affairs. Foreign ministers would appreciate a clown in their midst especially during long and boring meetings.
He should also carry with him, at all times, the picture of him riding an elephant, just to prove that he had reached great heights during his career after an eventful life in the police department.
Jekk anqas hu stess ma jaf fejn hu, kif wiehed jippretendi li jaf fejn Colombia hi?
Aghtuh ftit cans, miskin.

And of course electricity will be cheaper but not water – then denied by Muscat. Will we ever get a direct answer to our questions?
He said something about Bhutan being above Malta in the Corruption Perception Index. Probably he mentioned this country thinking no-one knows where it is and from its name one would assume that it’s somewhere in Africa.
So shame that Malta is perceived as more corrupt than an African country.
I stand to be corrected but he said that Malta was the last of the European countries in this index whereas below are Italy, Slovakia and a host of other European countries.
Looked up about Bhutan and probably their perception of corruption is still low because they do not know otherwise as looks like it is still a developing democracy.
Another point to mention is that Malta falls in the lower quartile of the perception of corruption, 43rd from 178 countries. But afterall Farrugia was preaching to the converted, I hope that those who are still not sure for whom to vote for on the 9th of March have clearer ideas by now.
Someone thinks the PN should behave like Labour. Or better, wished they did.
Does the failed ghost writer think the PN signs off a budget simply to impress us mere mortals?
What I see, is an opposition which needed a jumpstart to get down to something. It obliged. Ask all stakeholders.
And with all due respect, even when it’s known someone can’t make it, you still make sure they’re invited.
Labour. It’s only about what one can get out of others. Presumably when government is considered final privilege, feedback becomes a nuisance.

Very funny.
Anglu’s school of revisionist history goes something like this: Christopher Colombus, from where Colombia gets its name, was trying to prove the world is round by reaching India by sailing West (this is the reason why the Caribbean islands are known as the West Indies). He must have caught a strong wind which pushed him south and he reached Africa instead.
So is the world round after all?
Yes, he’s a cabbage but cabageness and corruption (regardless of indexes, statistics and crap) in Malta are endemic.
