Would you let these two get their hands on the wheel again?

Unbelievable. Just listen to Il-Guy (and my, how he’s deteriorated further in the three and a half years since this video was made) talk about his mate Edward Scicluna:

“I’ve known EdwaRRRRd Scicluna for years. When I was Minister of Industry” – that would be around 30 years ago now – “and I needed help, I’d phone EdwaRRRRd and say to him, ‘EdwaRRRRRd, what are we going to do?'”

Bloody fantastic. So that’s how they ran the country back then. No wonder.

All those of us who were alive and sentient when Il-Guy was Minister for Industry in the 1980s know what a great job he and his buddy EdwaRRRRd made of it.

Now 30 years on, with their faculties deteriorating and Il-Guy barely able to remember what he says five seconds after he says it, they expect us to put their faith in them as two economic gurus who will not only make a better job of it than they did three decades ago, when at least one of them was fit enough to wear a budgie-smuggler and cruise smeared in coconut oil with Golden Dom, but also a better job than the current incumbents.

You look at these two and you have to laugh, not hand them the wheel.

    When I saw the heading to the story I thought you were referring to Gonzi and Gatt!

    [Daphne – Kemm int miskin, Attard. Iffissat bil-kbir f’Astrid Vella u iffissat bl-ikrah kontra l-gvern. Il-vera ghandek judgement.]

      Attard, you thought but you were wrong, as usual.

    • ciccio says:

      Tell us, Joseph Attard, why we should trust Joseph ‘Made in Brussels’ Muscat, Toni ‘Rubber Puppets’ Abela, and Anglu ‘Tuks Fors’ Farrugia?

    • Joseph Attard says:

      I don’t remember mentioning Ms Vella whom you appear to be fixated with yourself for some reason.

      [Daphne – Oh come off it. The only reason I notice your name is because it invariably pops up beneath causes dear to the FAA’s squeaky little heart.]

      I guess she must be doing something right. As for pity save it. I have no time for it nor do I need it and you certainly don’t deserve it. If anything you deserve the thanks of the Maltese people for doing your bit in bringing down this corrupt government. Enjoy the weather, I’m off to the sunshine for a few weeks.

      [Daphne – Ah yes, that reminds me: you’re the one who posted a comment saying you’d seen me walking in a London park (something I never do) roughly five hours after Mrs Vella spotted me near the luggage carousel at Heathrow. Hallini, tridx.]

    The last time Karmena and her oily buddies stood behind the seat of power, they triggered a massive brain drain. Most of us never came back. Good luck, Malta.

    You can’t laugh, Daphne, you just cry and despair at what others will be throwing away for us.

    Mela issa, EdwaRRRRd hiereg min wara il-purtiera. O.M.G.

    Have you ever heard of this:

    People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

    If you have a look at the PN’s track record you realise that what you have just written applies specifically to them.

    What about the gargantuan deficits encountered throughout the years and the insurmountable amount of debt.

    Perhaps GonziPN can explain this to you.

    Passed are the days of EFA when this country prospered.

  9. ciccio says:

    If Karmenu Vella tried as hard to impress with his brains as he tries with his hands, he would probably come across with very ‘elegant’ arguments.

  10. Jozef says:

    As soon as journalists pose questions they’re lost for words.

    Teleprompters rule.

    Who’s deciding what in Labour?

    ”EdwaRd ser izid il-kwalita daqs kemm ser izid il-kwantita.”

    Simple arithmetic magic.

    The guy harks back to the ”rih tal-bidla” motto of the ’92 general elections.

    Riha ta’ bocci tal-kamla more like.
