    Is it possible to hack those things?

    Jeez, I hope my friends at Enemalta don’t cut the power right now. I’ll be fucked.

  3. Grezz says:

    They need to adjust the script size before josephmuscat.com of the Malta Labour Party gets wrinkles trying to read it.

  4. ciccio says:

    If Joseph Muscat wishes to improve the literacy of children in (or is it from) Year IV, then shouldn’t he buy them each a teleprompter, rather than a tablet?

    Just look at how literate HE IS to read his mass meeting speeches every Sunday.

  5. AE says:

    He certainly has been running a perfectly staged campaign.

    He has been planning this a long time and as a media man who knows only too well the value of the media.

    I was just wondering if part of his strategy has been to position Elves in every sector of the media. I seem to recall there was a case which got uncovered of some woman at RTK who he told to stay put because she could be needed there. Perhaps there are Elves positioned at The Times too?

      Elves? It’s the ruddy editors themselves! Just look at the list of columnists. Bar Mark-Anthony Falzon, they’re all Labour, Labour candidates or Labour-leaning. And don’t get me started on their journalists.

      • Harry Purdie says:

        Why not, Baxxter? Are they not all fuck ups?

      • Gahan says:

        They’re more against Gonzi rather than Labour-leaning. They will come to their senses when their favourite pastime of Gonzi bashing will metamorphise into Prime Minister bashing.

      • A. Charles says:

        Mark-Anthony Falzon is the token non-Labour leaning columnist and he does a great job.

    • old-timer says:

      Of course there are!! The PL is good at this; the PN do not bother.

  6. Antoine Vella says:

    If Joseph Muscat were clever he would have a laptop hidden on his lectern with the points of the speech and there would be no need for such an intrusive gadget as a teleprompter.

    At any rate, the fact that he needs a prompter, rather than a few words/phrases on a piece of paper, means that he’s not very confident when addressing crowds.

    Maybe it’s Silvio Parnis who is writing the script, streaming live, and Joseph reads.

  8. Gahan says:

    It is becoming clearly obvious that the MLP delegates voted in Joseph Muscat to be the mascot for their new product josephmuscat.com.

  9. cintura says:

    I suspect there are. The main reason I stopped buying that newspaper.

  10. victor callus says:

    I stopped buying The Times as I just cannot stomach it anymore.
