					<description><![CDATA[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.

&quot;Ixtri Malti&quot; was actually offering Maltese citizens on sale as slaves. What a Freudian slip that was!]]></description>

Is that really what his signature looks like? That&#039;s just his name written in eight-year-old handwriting.]]></description>

Whatever it is, the slogan &quot;Malta Taghna Lkoll&quot; is pure hogwash. It gives the impression we&#039;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 &quot;taghna lkoll&quot; (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.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If people really believe Joseph Muscat wrote that note on the billboard, it doesn&#039;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.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No. I meant that it&#039;s a spoof. Somebody wrote on the photograph of Joseph Muscat signing the billboard.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
