Joseph Muscat sees himself as the special one and his body language and behaviour really point to this. He patronises people, talks down to them, and he puts himself above the level of the common citizen using a platform, box or podium even when there are only 10 people present.

Look at him in all events. He does not get down to the level of the people but he wants the people to look up at him. That is why he is always using the podium. These are tactics which are used in totalitarian countries to impress and to send a message of authority and imposition to the people.

In reply to AE. Meaning he doesn't give a toss about the problems he will cause other parents because he won't have to face that problem himself

In reply to AG. That is the ONLY thing that struck me, in the TV reports I have watched. Glad to know I was not the only one who noticed it.

In reply to rjc. Yes, I believe that the St. Paul's Bay government school children were given an iPad each a year or so ago.

Did you notice Joseph asked the family to sit down in that video? Imagine someone comes into my house and asks me to ‘have a seat’.

Why doesn’t he realise that people see right through all his charades.

You only need to listen to Lawrence Gonzi’s speeches for a few minutes to feel inspired. Full of positive energy, that’s the right term.

Soleil and Etoile are twins so Joseph himself will not have that problem as they will get an iPad at the same time.

It is very true that Joseph and Michelle are the parents of two children, however there would not be any issues between the siblings because they are both going to be in Year 4 at the same time, given that they are twins.

Their 7 year old son is going to probably be even more dissappointed than his elder brother was when that moron told him that next year he will have the iPad because according to what is being said on “Bla Agenda” it is not advisable to introduce the tablet in schools before first giving the neccessary training to both the children and their teachers, meaning that it is highly likely that it would take much longer than 1 year.

Labour has always worked on the premise that its people benefit first and then throws tidbits to the rest “biex jaghlqu halqhom”.

Labour’s only concerns with individuals is with themselves.

Why is it that they always manage to create division and hate with their policy making? It seems that now they intend to do so even between children, and within families.

Thank God that the Prime Minister has come in to solve this matter by promising that every child will benefit from access to a tablet as a tool for educational purposes.
