If he got his history from Grajjet bloody Malta, what else can we expect? It&#039;s all ruddy Maltese patriotic navel-gazing from Hagar Qim to Il-Helsien. Malta hija l-univers, u l-univers huwa Malta.

There may be some historical connection between the Spanish history pre- and post- discovery of America and the current history of the Malta Labour Party, which probably explains why Joseph Muscat said he would have liked to live in Spain before the discovery of America.

Coca leaves (also known as &#039;blocks of ice&#039;) had been chewed in South America for hundreds of years before the discovery of America.  When the Spanish arrived, they found out about this custom.  They legalised the practice and imposed a tax on it.  Presumably, they then imported the practice into Europe.

I think Joseph Muscat realises that the discovery of America by the Spanish has landed his party in a lot of trouble in the current electoral campaign, and he would rather that Colombus never landed on the New World.

Thinking to myself: Toni Tana Lkoll does have the looks of Don Diego de la Vega.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not a laughing matter, I think.

What we have here is the future Prime Minister so stuck in the Maltese parochial mindset that he confused the discovery of the American continent with the Great Siege and who hasn&#039;t had that grand lie of Maltese primary education (Columbus discovering America) debunked yet.

Tsk, tsk. Were&#039;s Kenneth Zammit Tabona when you need him? Teaching the Labour marmalja table manners?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think we should take his choice as an omen.

Who cares about the pillaging perpetrated by the Spaniards? Who cares about the mad rush for gold and silver? Who cares about the introduction of European diseases which ended up killing so many natives? Indeed, who cares about the indigenous people at all?

Their reasoning was exactly like Muscat&#039;s: L-Amerka tagħna lkoll.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just read the article and it really reveals how infantile he is. It reveals how he really doesn&#039;t understand what the term responsibility is all about and how it is about him always. 

Honestly, the most expensive thing he has bought is a bag for his wife. For heavens sake it really confirms my opinion that he is a mummy&#039;s boy and has been spoiled rotten. 

Did he even buy the electrical appliances or the furniture in his house or was everything given to him? Or did Michelle&#039;s handbag cost most than the kitchen? 

Then Michelle complains about soppa ta l-armla. 

His concept of love is emptiness - oh for heavens sake, I am actually now pitying poor Michelle and her kids. 

He has no concept of what love is so how do you expect him  to give it in return. 

Apart from the fact that he answered three questions with the same rehashed answer, that is. 

As I always thought, he can&#039;t think about anything which doesn&#039;t involve him. 

He is one of those individuals that I deem as &quot;cut, copy and paste&quot; as they aren&#039;t capable of anything else.

They have to fake and copy and simulate emotions because they can&#039;t actually feel them.]]></description>
