Facebook wisdom from Rita Seguna Flask:

I am one who hear all the news and read everything,to know who is telling the truth, and I see that Joseph is in the street of truth ,as he doesn’t bother to answer questions, he don’t escape to answer journalist,not like Gonzi and his followers to try to enter parliament,they don’t know what they are proposing,and don’t make me LAUGH dear Gonzi,who is going to wash the laundry during the night,and than we sleep during the day ?????? and who live in apartment, imagine the noise one makes,this is one of the jokes, he said like that,he said to do the solar panels, one can see who can afford them. Please don’t make us laugh, and think about who can’t afford , and the hidden poor

    “as he doesn’t bother to answer questions, ” gandha ragun ta. He never answers questions.

  2. FP says:

    The average voter’s wisdom in a flask.

    Churchill vindicated.

  3. Tinnat says:

    Maaaaaa x´injoranza. I love the ¨as he doesn´t bother to answer questions¨ bit.

  4. AG says:

    He doesn’t know the answers to the questions is more like it.

    I would really like to know when the PL is planning to publish its entire electoral programme.

    We are now in the fourth week of this electoral campaign and all we’re getting are half-baked nonsensical proposals thrown at us.

    We’ve been promised this electoral programme for quite some time now, and the last one was that as soon as the election date would be announced, the PL would come out with its proposals. You see they were afraid that the PN would copy all of its brilliant ideas.

    Mbasta kollna tink-tenks u Aaron Farrugia u Karmenu Vella. As my 1-year old would say, all we got was a ‘Bahh’.

    • vanni says:

      Don’t hold your breath for that electoral programme. Seeing how every one of the proposals that Labour has leaked has been savaged by cold logic, they are wary that the whole programme will suffer the same fate.

      It will see the light of day only when there won’t be enough time to have it properly analysed, costed, and probably rubbished.

      • Futur Imcajpar says:

        He’s already said that they will be issuing the proposals one at a time so as not to confuse the public. He, too, has a poor notion of their IQ.

  5. Bubu says:

    Considering this comment, really and truly, there is very little to laugh about.

  6. jack says:

    “he doesn’t bother to answer questions”. As in he evades giving an answer completely, I suppose.

  7. old-timer says:

    That is why people think Labour will win – because there are people of the Rita Seguna (with the Flask added to impress) type. This woman follows all the news, she said. I wonder whether she understands a fraction of what is being said – except viva l-labor he he viva l-labour he he

  8. Gian says:

    PN are saying that Labour’s electoral programme must have got jammed in their printer.

    I’d say it’s more likely that it got stuck in their photo-copier.

    • Toyger says:

      Nope, Karmenu Vella, bless his dementia, forgot where he saved it in his computer and is busy looking for it.

      • Futur Imcajpar says:

        He probably pressed the ‘hidden’ attribute button, so that those horrible copycats, the Nationalists do not steal his ideas. Only, now he can’t find it himself.

  9. Catsrbest says:

    … ‘Joseph is in the street of truth’… where, exactly?

  10. Catsrbest says:

    She’ll be at her best if she changes her last surname to Fjask.

  11. Tinnat says:

    the comment made in reply by her friend is even wiser:

    ¨DAK BIEX IGELLED IN NIES RIT,GHAX MIN HA JOQOD JISMA LIL TA FUQU JAHSEL IL HWEJJEG ,L ART ,IL PLATTI,U KOLLOX BIL LEJL,L EWWEL RIED IGELLED IN NIES GHAND TAL GROCER,U ISSA IL GIRIEN¨

  12. Antoine Vella says:

    Rita Seguna does not remember (and it is a real pity the PN is not reminding her) that Joseph Muscat had promised the introduction of night tariffs in 2011.

    “Muscat said that a Labour government would reduce water and electricity bills by converting the Delimara power station to operate on gas, by introducing cheaper night tariffs and by not making consumers pay for the inefficiencies of Enemalta Corporation.”

    Today, however, josephmuscatdotcom has changed his mind.

    “Dr Muscat ridiculed the PN’s proposal of introducing night tariffs, saying that the party will be distributing alarm clocks since people will have no other option rather than staying up late, after 10pm to be able to save money on electricity bills.”

  13. Tumas-Muscat says:

    I’d say this made me LAUGH, but the fact that this person has a vote makes me cry.

  14. Pink says:

    Does Rita know that nowadays washing machines come with a timer?

  15. nutmeg says:

    Good thing she didn’t publish it in English. Foreigners can’t crack that code.

  16. Oooooops says:

    So where is this street of truth?

  17. H.P. Baxxter says:

    How unbelievably stupid. Why is everyone going on about washing machines, as though they were the only device that uses electricity? A huge chunk of Maltese household electricity bills is taken up by air conditioning. Switched on. For eight hours non-stop. At night.

    So what the FUCK is Rita complaining about?

    • Futur Imcajpar says:

      I suppose Rita switches off her fridge and freezer and the water cooler and water heater at night. What a twat.

  18. Wormfood says:

    ‘Who hear all the news’.. Do I get a tenner for guessing that she heard it all on Super One?

  19. Disney says:

    Perhaps Rita does not feel hot during the August summer nights and does not switch on the airconditioner, so she switches on the fan, all night long, but a fan does not consume energy a fan works with gas.

    And during winter she does not need hot water to wash first thing in the morning. I think she gets an ice cold shower to make her realize she is awake and not dreaming.

  20. Oooooops says:

    Oh, and make sure you read that in a hamallu accent.

  21. Zachary Stewart says:

    I don’t understand the part about laundry at night. Is that a Maltese aphorism to which I am not privy?

  23. francesco says:

    What did you expect from a Flask?

  24. old-timer says:

    I am sure Rita has ALL the appliances one could think of, and two cars, iPads for children, bingo mornings, pasta nights at MLP clubs and then a grumbling session because “we are really bil-guh”.

  25. m cassar says:

    Don’t these people know that families switch on air conditioner mostly during the night? That’s one of the reasons when a night tariff can be very effective.

  26. Herman says:

    Longest sentence ever written in English.

  27. milton says:

    Rita must have had some kind of diploma from the Brigata Laburista. Or was she a Pom Pom Girl?

  28. Cat says:

    It’s not the first time that I did the washing at night. But it’s not actually me who does the washing but the washing machine, while I am sleeping.

    “issa min irid juza it-twin tub machines ghax ghadu mitt sena lura, dik storja ohra”.

  29. Mark says:

    How tragic that she has a vote.

  30. anthony says:

    That’s democracy for you.

    Rita Seguna Flask actually has a vote.

    She really has one.

    Whether you like it or not.

    So just stop moaning.

    I am all for dictatorships.

    Just look what is happening in Egypt.

    In countries where the average IQ is well below 70, dictatorships are in order.

    What did you expect from a Flask ?
