Joseph meets the elves

And unfortunately, because they’ve put Joseph on an unturned crate here so as to make him a foot taller than everyone else in the room, they really do look like elves.
Also, whoever came up with this idea must have been working on the same principle used by those brides who pick their ugliest friends as bridesmaids, thinking that they will look lovely by comparison.
They got the idea from David Cameron’s 2010 campaign, but of course they had to give it that splendid Maltese touch, where the leader is bigger than everyone else and stands in the middle of the little people, patronising them while they admire him greatly (‘kemm hu bravu u bjond’).

Faux pas. They forgot to remove the Labour logo on a red background.
Malta Tagna Lkoll – What they really aim at is Malta Lkoll Tagna, like the good old Golden Years, remember?
The old guard are still very evident in there, now even Louis Grech has come forth into the limelight four decades down the line.
The should have read Taghna – due intrusion by spellchecker.
Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves of Erebor.
Have a look at the timesofmalta.com website. It’s inaundated by comments, all pointing at the same direction. Perhaps the elves you mentioned in 2007 are out on rampage, again?
Oh dear, they’ve got the same colours as Cameron’s logo too. Now compare Cameron’s vibrant speech to Muscat’s dull talk. He’s turning the whole thing into a boring monologue.
That’s what Labour lack: a charismatic leader with good public speaking skills. Muscat is so boring that he always loses me halfway through his speech.
Labour = Copy/Paste
So fake. Take a look at the B roll, everyone was set up, placed carefully and filmed as if they are listening intently to Joseph. As if. North Korea, anyone?
My goodness. Looks like the speech at a funeral, everyone’s so dull and worried.
Great beginning by these ‘volunteers’, but then after having had to stay up all night to hear the big leader’s speech at midnight (oops, sorry, he was late), I don’t blame them for looking so tired.
The elves can turn torches into ice cream cones, and then make them disappear altogether at the stroke of midnight.
And yet, they just can’t teach Joseph how to shake hands and make it seem like more than an afterthought, or how to embrace his own wife.
That poor woman is just window dressing, strategically placed by his side by a well-intentioned fluffer.
Off subject, but this is unbelievable.

“Bidla fid-direzzjoni” … repeat until your head turns, and you yourself will start believing that Malta needs to change direction, from doing well to “għal ġol ħajt bil-gass mal-pjanċa”.
Another gimmick. Count how many times you’ll hear The Great Leader repeating that mantra until the day of the election and your counter will run out of digits.
Every time he says it, he really means “I want to be PM”. And when he does become PM, when faced with having to make the hard decisions, he’ll just sign another billboard and make things right.
For that’s all he’s good at. On all issues that matter, he’s always stood on the wrong side. Without fail.
Muscat insists on “bidla fid-direzzjoni”. But who really wants a change when our country is doing so well?
A change in direction would put at risk all that we have gained in the past few years.

One always wondered how some made it successfully through the law course.
New mobile phone anyone?
Now there’s a hunky dude.
I am referring to the Doktor, not to the one who only managed a first in PPE at Oxford.
Still missing an angel.
A concrete angel? (That would be this year’s mass meeting pre-big speech song.)
Dr Muscat, x’tifhem bil-bidla fid-direzzjoni? Jfisser li mmorru ‘l barra minn l-EU? Irridu spjegazzjoni cara ta’ x’ser tkun din id-direzzjoni gdida li qed taspira ghaliha int.
U bil-haqq, diga ghaddew madwar 15 il-siegha min mindu llancjajt il-kampanja elettorali …. u ghadek ma ghidt XEJN dwar it-tariffi tad-dawl u ilma. Ahna rridu nkunu nafu biex naghmlu il-kalkoli taghna wkoll ta’ x’ser jinvolvuna iktar heqq u tapprezza li mhux kullhadd huwa ekonomista.
pm, inti tahseb li Malta titlaq mill-UE ghax Gowzef jiddeciedi hekk?
Malta dahlet membru tal-UE wara referendum u jrid ikun referendum iehor biex tohrog.
U tahseb int li Malta ma jkollix thallas prezz biex tohrog?
Anqas biss ghanda tidhol fl-imhuh ta nies f’sensiehom.
U ghalhekk il-kliem ta Joseph hadd ma ghandu joqghod fuqhom ghax jew zbalati, jew gideb sfaccat.
Joseph kollu kontradizzoni ghax jew ha jimplimenta il-Budget li vvota kontrieh u allura se jsegwi l-politika Nazzjonalista, jew ha jfarrak kollox u jaqbad ‘direzzoni gdida’.
Somethiing is VERY wrong with his hair transplant attempt.
Who are those ugly people around him? More trolls than elves.
Oh, look! There’s Mario, the token Labour Muslim.
David Cameron and Joseph Muscat the ‘prattikament prim ministru’ do – yes, they really do – have something in common. Both are wearing a blue tie.
In the pic with Joseph, everyone is looking at the untested wannabe PM wondering what he has to say.
In the pic with Cameron they have tested the PM and everyone except one person is looking somewhere else.
Mark my words, choosing Muscat is going to be painful for our economy.
I have been wondering where all the PL’s money is coming from. They have run an almost continuous campaign for almost 18 months now. Could SARGAS be helping?
More likely Polidano and a few other Maltese big businessmen.
Beware of the Pale Orc … his magic is powerful
Ubelievable.
Beppe Grillo swam across the channel from Calabria to Sicily.
C’mon Joseph, Gozo’s much closer.
