    With integrated cupholder.

    Horrible lines, the work of an amateur who ignores that it should create space for the user, not stand proudly away.

    Then there’s the wires strapped at the back, if it weren’t a swagy column, we wouldn’t have that nasty detail would we?

    That’s one hell of a health ministry.

  2. Beauty and the Beef says:

    Today’s podium definitely took the biscuit.

    Bang in the middle of the road in Transfiguration Avenue, Lija. There weren’t even any cars parked around, for good measure.

    My bet is that they probably temporarily closed the road to accommodate his podium.

    Kull fejn imur imur bil-pixxatur portable. Beda bl-inkwiet tal-prostata minn kmieni.

    • Chicken says:

      Good one. Actually it is a combination of a urinal with a pedestal wash hand basin. In the next few weeks we might see him with a water closet and a bidet in tow.

  4. Min Jaf says:

    Beam me up, Scottie.

  5. A. Charles says:

    The ubiquitous white podium acting as a barrier from the the hordes.

  6. Giuseppe says:

    Tall-llum l-aqwa, f’ nofs it-triq ta’ Hal Lija.

    Sorsi infurmati sew qaluli li ghada jkun fuq il-bejt tal-Portomaso Business Tower u il-gimgha fir runway tal-airport. Veru helu u modern imma.

  7. Malta Taghna Biss - PL says:

    In the first photo, wasn’t Doktorr Muscat obstructing the only access road to the MEPA offices in Floriana?
    Did he obtain a MEPA permit for doing so?

  8. Angus Black says:

    He seems very fond of his Porta-pod. It gives him a sense of security – something to hold on to.

    Will he take a personal platform to use at the EP when he will address the members for the first time as Malta’s youngest prime minister?

    • Grezz says:

      Some people are more equal than others. Malta taghna lkoll indeed. It’s more like he thinks “Malta tieghi biss”.

  9. Middle Kingdom says:

    In the last photo but two his a**se is really chewing up his trousers. Talk about a knicker sandwich.

  10. maryanne says:

    If you enlarge photo no.8 you will automatically feel you have to run away from Karmenu Vella.

  11. A Sant says:

    You’re missing the next big thing: the mass meeting podium, complete with speed-pedal by which Joseph Muscat controls his teleprompter.

    Try looking for a photo which includes his foot on the pedal. This particular teleprompter complete with magic-screen and microphones surely cost E100,000 on eBay.

  12. bystander says:

    Is this a competition?

    C’mon kiddies, where is the Ginger Magician today?

  13. AG says:

    And the perspex. Don’t forget the perspex.

    Bil-Malti – vera qieghed sew, eh.

  14. Augustus says:

    Joseph the preacher

  15. Harry Purdie says:

    If I close my eyes and make a wish, will he go away?

  16. Yanika says:

    He reminds me of Mr Bean and his ubiquitous brown teddy bear.

  17. TROY says:

    No podium.No Joseph.

  18. anti labour says:

    Lawrence Gonzi is a man of many talents.

    Joseph Muscat is a man of many podiums and gadgets.

  19. Futur Imcajpar says:

    If I close my eyes and make a wish, this ton of lard would be safe on one of Jupiter’s moon together with enough supporters to make him happy for the rest of his years and just enough fewer supporters, to see Labour on the opposition benches once again.

  20. Natalie says:

    A prick with a podium shaped like a dick.

  21. Antoine Vella says:

    Have you noticed that the usually omnipresent Kurt Farrugia is nowhere to be seen in the photos? He must be standing inside the podium, replacing the teleprompter.

  22. Mercury Rising says:

    In the absence of teleprompters, the podium is the only way to go. Perhaps writing his speech on his palms would be a tad too obvious.

  23. old-timer says:

    I suppose he takes the podium to bed with him.

  24. caflanga says:

    I bet Joseph’s new Republic will be born on that podium… just like Queen Constance gave birth at age 40 to the heir to the throne in the middle of the square in the town of Jesi, Sicily, in the 1190s.
