The photo caption says “One foot on the pedal and the other hand on the control”…

His foot is actually on the gas pedal. Gas down ghal gol-hajt.

Hear, hear! Rather than action forward strategy, we’re already seeing avoidance strategy. Never mind “Hawwadni ha nifhem”, it’s “ma fhimtx, hawwadtuni.”

Very true. I know a few who I thought were just Labour sympathisers, only to learn they attend meetings “Taht it-Tinda” with Labour banners and all just to have a buzz.

It’s like going to an important match involving their favourite football team. They just need to celebrate (already).

Unbelievable.

During his speeches, you never get the feeling that he is talking about his personal beliefs, convictions and principles. He is, very woodenly, reading what someone else thinks the crowd and the media wants to hear. Period.

Regardless of whoever writes Lawrence Gonzi’s speeches, you can tell that he says it all with genuine sincerity.

Excellent point.

EU summits notoriously go on late into the night in an effort to reach a compromise between 27 countries.

I can’t for the life of me imagine the man who comes up with such weak excuses (fractured ankles, personal schedules and whatnot) to fob off responsibility bothering to stay up so late.

He’ll probably send his wife to replace him. Or Franco Debono.

That’s sorted out what they plan to do with the national station, not that we didn’t know already, of course.

Back to the ‘Bongu Malta Socjalista’ theme it will be. Can’t wait.

Imagine him holding the presidency of the European Union.

He’s already way out of his depth locally, can you imagine what an embarrassment he’s going to be then?

Running around with his stupid teleprompter, speaking only in Maltese, arriving late for everything, and dictating where and when and how to give interviews and speeches.

Does the man have any idea what he’s getting himself into?

Is there no way out of this nightmare?

The 5000 students graduating next year can look forward to an ‘ibni u ahzen’ sort of paramilitary corps then.

Just the sort of job I’ve been dreaming for my son to take up once he’s finished his course.

I can just see his prospects going down the same route as my own. At least he would have made it through university without mishap before another PL calamity takes hold of the island.

It amazes me how people, schooled people no less, are so dense. I used ‘schooled’ because even with their Masters and Doctorates they remain largely uneducated.

Just parroting Labour’s lame explanation, Josef?

Muscat should grab every opportunity to explain to the nation what his proposals are, how they will be financed and by whom and the mysterious ‘experts’ reports justifying the fangled PS project.

Instead, he ducks, he runs and he chickens out because he knows that he has nothing legit.

‘He can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but he cannot fool all of the people all of the time’. Thanks Abe.
