A book about Joseph Muscat, by Cyrus Engerer and published by Sensiela Kotba Socjalisti
Watch me beat down the hordes to Agenda’s door to get a copy, if possible signed by the author.
I’ll find a space for it right next to Saviour Balzan ‘Saying it like it is’, which is always on the verge of publication, but never quite gets there.
It’s called (in unidiomatic Maltese and terrible syntax, which is just how Joseph Muscat himself speaks) JOSEPH – MALTA LI RRID NGHIX FIHA.
Let’s see now: would that be the same Malta he wanted us to live in when he told us to vote No to EU membership, or ‘hassar il-vot jew poggih go frame’?
A Malta outside the European Union – that’s the Malta Joseph Muscat wanted.
Bet that’s not in the book.
And if Cyrus Engerer managed to get his hands on any naked pictures of his subject matter, I trust he has been kind enough to keep them to himself.
Joseph, the Book

Michelle has that tilt to her head that says, “awe….don’t they look cute together .”
Or she’s saying “Kemm hu bravu Joseph tieghi “
A customer entered a Valletta bookshop asking where she could get hold of Joseph’s new book. “FICTION” was the immediate reply from the old shopkeeper.
U l-mara fil-genb, iccapcap…
Ghax ma marx jghix Cipru.
With the donkeys.
Nor will the book say that a Malta outside the European Union is what Joseph. il-Guy, AST, Debono Grech and Co is what the STILL want. That is the underlying message in the ‘direzzjoni gdida’ that the MLP seeks to sell to the people.
They still hanker for the Golden Years when they could ride roughshod over everything and everybody at their whim. Malta’s membership in the EU stands in their way.
Has it not occurred to anyone else that they will run up big debts exactly with an eye on getting bailed out by the EU?
Speaking of Debono Grech, where is he?
They paraded in their activities only up to a few months ago but now we’re seeing the new faces and turncoats only.
It’s clear that they wanted to make sure they do not lose the core vote and now fishing for the ‘disgruntled’ and floaters.
Someone should do the round of the bookshops fixing little ‘Not for an immature audience’ stickers on the cover.
That’s hardly fair! Who else would buy it?
I am starting to pity Michelle as she’s feeling the stress.
It’s all about Joseph and addio Malta Taghna Lkoll.
Did anybody notice yesterday’s coverage of Joseph Muscat’s speech in Lija? Michelle mingled with others but the camera angle caught her sitting in the group behind Joseph. Her face was very tired and her eyes heavy during most of the speech, and at one point she literally nodded off until somebody drew her attention and she woke up, clapping. Doesn’t augur well.
Here’s the link of the speech and clearly One News edited parts of it.

When someone like Daphne says that she watched Muscat’s speech I wonder how she sticks it for half an hour. I start to yawn after the first five minutes and doze off on the sofa, then when I wake up, I find my daughter watching The X-Factor.
The mutual admiration society.
Unbelievable….. so presumptuous.
All we need is the twins in background all jolly and clapping as mama told them that their papa is a very important person and someone wrote a book about him.
Out of subject;

Who are you trying to fool Mr. Busuttil? If Malta is to end up with politicians of your sort we are in for a worse time than we were in the 80’s. Stop the idiotic comments; someone in your position should know well enough why the ‘free’ pipeline offer was refused, so get a life…and whilst you’re at it spare us the embarrassment of getting elected to parliament!

Interesting to see what Joseph does with this.
He’ll probably be emboldened to do the same for Malta.
You can be sure he’ll rip off the following part of his speech, adapt it accordingly (with all his change of direction bullshit), and present it as his own:
“The biggest danger to the European Union comes not from those who advocate change, but from those who denounce new thinking as heresy.”
Women should be reminded that the main character of this book is Joseph Muscat, not Christian Grey.
Dan Muscat x’ghamel ghal Malta biex hargu ktieb fuqu?
Daqs Eddie Fenech Adami jew Lawrence Gonzi nahseb.
U mhux hekk biss.Mela il-PN din il-gimgha johrog il-Programm Elettorali-liktar haga imp. bhalissa u dawn johrogu ktieb fuq JM..dawn bis-serjeta ? m’ghandhomx x’jaghmlu?
Where does she get her clothes? Burda?
VIVA JOSEPH MUSCAT.

Joseph and Michelle.
Shades of Jack and Jackie?
A book about what? The spectacular achievements of a 39-year-old with a CV taken up by ‘Super One reporter and member of the European Parliament’?
JOSEPH – MALTA LI RRID NGHIX FIHA
F’liema Malta irid jghix Joseph? F’Malta tas-70s? F’Malta tal-80s? F’Malta tad-90s? F’Malta tat-20s?
Qed nitgerfex ghax nahseb li jekk irid jghix f’Malta tal-lum zgur mhux bis-sahha tieghu jew siehbu Fredu Sant li ghandna dan il-gid kollu u Malta mibdulha.
Jekk irid jghix f’Malta ta’ xi snin ilu allura qed jiftakar kemm hadem biex Malta ma tkunx parti mill-EU.
Tajjeb kieku jghidilna f’liema Malta irid jghix. Jekk jghidilna nipprova niddobba ktieb…..imma bil-firma tieghu u ta’ Michelle.
I hope that in the first chapter Cyrus has given more details about Joseph Muscat’s claim that he was born one year after Mintoff decriminalised sodomy.
My Struggle, by Joseph Muscat. HEIL JOSEPH.

And watch out for what’s coming next: the musical.

me, me and me…MALTA LI RRID NGHIX FIHA.
At least MALTA LI RRIDKOM TGHIXU FIHA sounds more altruistic. Or better still MALTA LI NIXTIEQKOM TGHIXU FIHA which sounds less dictatorial.
[Daphne – No, it should have been IL-MALTA LI RRIDU NGHIXU FIHA. First personal plural instead of first person singular. And ‘Malta’ in this context, I believe, takes the definite article, just as it would do in English (this is the Malta I want).]
I can just hear him: Malta lirrit na-ajx fijjja. Heaven help us, our next prime minister: a hack who speaks like a hick.
