Can you for a moment picture Dr Gonzi calling a press conference at midnight and signing a billboard? Ludicrous.

Someone should teach him how to hold that pen.
It’s probably how he holds a knife.
It could be how he holds a vibrator.
Can’t even write in a straight line. He even tilts his cuddly head, like a toddler. How cute. I think I shall vote Labour.
Is that really what his signature looks like? That’s just his name written in eight-year-old handwriting.
At last someone else notices this. He holds the pen like a 5 year old, and not just the marker here – even the pen he uses to sign legal documents.
They are fortunate enough to use the word MALTA today. In the ‘golden years’ their slogan would only be ;Taghna Lkoll’.
Thanks for the memories.
Even words like “national” and “nazzjon” (nation) were banned, hence one “National Pharmacy” (Birkirkara?) being renamed “Rational Pharmacy” in the 1970s/1980s, another (in Hamrun, I believe) being renamed “Nashinal Pharmacy”, and “In-Nazzjon” (the natiuonalist newspaper) being renamed “In-…Taghna”, with a map of Malta in the place of the word “Nazzjon”. The Malta Diving Club, was renamed – and is still known as – “Atlam” (“Malta” in reverse). The list is endless – trivialities to some, but a true reflection and eternal monument to the Golden Years of Labour.
Ah, but “Ixtri Malti” (Toni Abela’s brainchild, I believe) – a supermarket in Beltisebh – didn’t last very long, despite being “allowed” the banned word in its name. Labour must be proud.
Ixtri Malti was set up in the building that housed the Valletta market to promote Maltese products, totally ignoring that the products then available couldn’t even be given away for free.
The specially built ‘supermarket’ in Floriana was a classic example of Labour Party planning. A huge sum of money was spent in setting it up, then import of all products was banned, thereby ensuring its complete failure.
Probably it was Guze Abela not Toni Abela.
“Ixtri Malti” was actually offering Maltese citizens on sale as slaves. What a Freudian slip that was!
Cinderellu.
Dik billboard? Iffirmaha Joseph? Illajks, kif ha jqattghuha ghar-relikwi.
The slogan says Malta taghna Lkoll but up there he wrote “Kollha Taghna !!! ” which indeed has a different meaning altogether.
Maybe the late hour wasn’t such a good idea.
[Daphne – No, the handwriting is a spoof. He only signed it. He didn’t actually write anything.]
Still, it says what he really means, doesn’t it?
Those three exclamation marks make it look very Labour.
That’s why I’ll be voting PN, because Malta Taghna Lkoll.
How many times have we heard Labour speakers insist that a Labour government would be for Labourites and other crap like this, including Nationalists having a different DNA.
And how many times have we heard during Nationalist governments that Labourties had their promotions, as was their due.
So with the PN ‘Malta hija taghna lkoll’
Whatever it is, the slogan “Malta Taghna Lkoll” is pure hogwash. It gives the impression we’re living in some form of apartheid.
Listening to parts of his speech launching this campaign slogan he comes across as hysterically drumming up old-fashioned nationalistic and patriotic sentiments. Small wonder the few camera shots of his audience showed many of them bored.
He even had the nerve to say that Independence, the Republic, Freedom, the University, membership in the EU (and a couple of others) came about as a result of “taghna lkoll” (all of us)!! Quite a few times he was even short of words.
Even to someone like me who tries to make a balanced assessment, the whole event came across as a dismal, amateurish performance and a stupid follow-up to the ludicrous 12.01 launch of the PL campaign.
PS — Thanks for being back… with such a BANG! I visited this blog yesterday night and half-way through the day I found 17 new entries … and still coming. Well done.
“Malta taghna lkoll”. Agreed.
“Malta kollha taghna”. I vehemently object to what this jerk is writing in this pic.
I wonder whether he really understood what he was writing at that unearthly hour in that cold wind.
He is bad enough under normal circumstances.
[Daphne – The writing is a spoof. Only the signature is genuine.]
This is most interesting, Daphne.
People actually think Joseph would have written it.
Back to the drawing board for Marisa. I’m afraid some things won’t go away.
Maybe it was Coconut Farrugia’s brainwave, not Marisa’s. He did say she’s just another employee, didn’t he?
Trouble is, in a crowded room, farts are easily mistaken for Kurt’s brainwaves….
Malta kollha taghna. Imma Anglu Farrugia LE.
A pertinent question to Dr. Muscat.
You are promising “MALTA taghna LKOLL”.
I take it you mean what’s left of it, after the Klikka have been making a feast of it, for the last years.
I would have preferred if you stopped using the velvet gloves, and came out with a logo such as “This is payment time”.
If he did not write it then, whoever did, is an imbecile.
Putting his signature to a load of rubbish does not say much about him either, does it?
[Daphne – No. I meant that it’s a spoof. Somebody wrote on the photograph of Joseph Muscat signing the billboard.]
OK. I finally got it.
If people really believe Joseph Muscat wrote that note on the billboard, it doesn’t say much about him. So much for impressing the progressives and moderates.
This was all a big, expensive (and massively inconvenient) show for the great illiterate unwashed who are impressed at the sight of a man who knows how to write his name.

Malta taghna lkoll.
What a socialist slogan.
Coming up after 9 March, when Labour is in government:
Il-banek taghna lkoll.
L-artijiet u l-propjeta taghna lkoll.
Is-servizzi tat-telefonija taghna lkoll.
Is-servizzi tat-tbahhir taghna lkoll.
