If Joseph Muscat had a modicum of political honesty in him he would have said that Fenech Adami was necessary in 1982, not 1987.
That is the year when the rest of the country thought he was necessary.
He should also have said that, by denying the people their choice for six years, havoc and disaster were wrought on poor Malta taghna lkoll.
In the script: Muscat kisses Mintoff’s coffin (with far more passion than he kisses his wife on stage)

Were the bald heads in this picture imposed by the image consultants in order not to embarrass the great leader / dictator.
This picture reminds me of those dictatorships in Africa, where people are obliged to crawl in front of the king in order not to appear taller than him.
I’m trying to understand what holds him back from people. When he walks into the marquee, there’s an urgency to get to the podium.
There could be a relation to the scripted speeches and the way he prefers waving to no one in particular when on stage.
It’s all very mechanical.
Watched the mass meeting, boring, even the youngsters behind him looked lost, some were actually very glum.
No enthusiasm.
Even when he is greeted by the supporters on his way in or out, he does not even look them in the face and you can see that he does not establish a ‘relationship.’ His smile is so fake.
He is just a Super One hack, suitable for reading the 7.30pm news from a teleprompter.
He doesn’t know who those people are. OK, he’s relatively new, but neither does he wish to know.
Gonzi recognises people in the crowd, stopping to talk to someone in particular, remembering their story. The interaction is different in that it exists.
The PM even looks more at ease on stage surrounded by young people. It’s clear he enjoys their company.
What a great observation…well put
I think Muscat’s trick is to set a barrier between Fenech Adami “fans” and Lawrence Gonzi.
I think he is trying to get Fenech Adami “fans” to stay away from voting Nationalist. Perhaps a far-fetched thought but in politics everything is possible. Muscat thinks he is a crafty “Jesuit”.
Mela nesa kemm ghajru lil Mintoff fl-1998? Ipokrita.
Seems that Joseph ‘shaved his hair’ for the occasion, to be like the rest of the boys.
Jekk minghalih Joseph Muscat qed jipprova johloq barriera bejn in-nies ta’ Dr Fenech Adami u Dr Gonzi, nassigurah li mhux ser jirnexxilu.
Prova ta’ dan huwa diskors eccellenti li ghamel Beppe Fenech Adami fl-ahhar Kunsill Generali tal-Partit Nazzjonalista. Kuragg Nazzjonalisti, it-tigrija sal-barkun.
“Ghad ibusuli sieqi, kollha kemm huma” And, indeed, they so did.
What about the scene when the Muscats kissed on the stage. Did you notice how Joseph pulled back and cringed and almost wiped his mouth.
As soon as Dr Muscat was elected leader of the PL, he went to visit Dom Mintoff at his Tarxien residence. This shows that he approves of Mintoff’s brutal policies which awaits Malta after a Labour victory.
BEWARE OF JOSEPH MUSCAT!
It is obvious to me that Muscat waited for Mintoff’s demise to come up with what he said about Eddie.
[Daphne – No he didn’t. He waited for an election campaign. He thinks it’s the deal-sealer.]
