The Wignacourt Museum? How totally inappropriate.

Wignacourt Museum

JosephMuscatDotCom set up his mobile pissoir at the Wignacourt Museum in Rabat this morning, and told us about the Labour Party’s cultural values.

I looked at the photographs of him and the Malta Labour Party delegation being shown around by priests and one of the private operators of the museum and thought the obvious.

The priests weren’t told that the Labour leader was going to hold a press conference in their museum, one in a series of Mobile Pissoir Events.

They were told that the Labour leader was going there on an official visit and for a tour of the restoration job.

Then the Kurt Farrugia team set up the white pissoir and after the tour held their press conference. While the priests stared.

It really is incredible.

    I just had a look at Joseph Muscat’s photos on his facebook page and it reminded of these hilarious blogs….

    Come come, Fr John Azzopardi has just rekindled my faith in the human race.

    Look Malta, priests are backing my election campaign.

    All is fair in love and war and POLITICS.

    Since we’re on the subject of culture, I’ll take my shears to Owen Bonnici’s outfit, if I may.

    The jacket. Oh dear. Should be buttoned (one button only) when standing. This one’s used his clasped his hands instead of buttons.

    Matching tie and pocket square. BIG sartorial mistake. It screams “this man has no panache”. NEVER match your tie and pocket square.

    Then there’s the troublesome trousers. They appear to be too baggy, and the jacket sits awkwardly around the hips. Whatever it is, it’s bad tailoring.

    I’m about to pay these pretenders a large sum of money (ministerial salaries plus perks). I expect them to impress me. So far, they have failed.

    Wignacourt Museum taghhom ukoll. Roll on Golden Years Mk ll.

    Malta Labour Party now wears ‘sjuits’, but the hosepipe and chain mentality that characterized the MLP from its inception is still alive and well.

    Voters ignore this at their peril. Ghal-Labour xejn mhu sagru.

    Ah yes, Sigmund and Owen, they had to criticise Mario Demarco’s statements made this morning.

    Disingenuous enough to ignore the plan to transform the Auberge D’Italie into Malta’s museum of modern art.

    Maybe because their deputy leader thinks Piano’s project round the corner should be put on hold. Bit tricky, that.

    Or their president whining about Valletta’s regeneration lacking oomph, oh really?

    I listen to Owen explaining Labour’s proposals and can see it happening, a fossilised form of art, carrying all the elitism and paranoid nostalgia so loved by the left.

    Move over Gorg Peresso, your novels on radio lack the spice.

    Returning Strait Street back to its former glory. Nice, as miserable as Pigalle throughout the day, packed hellhole at night.

    The same people who play bingo in expropriated cinemas everywhere.

    And don’t get me started on their eccellenza and Maltese identity.

    Honestly.

      Zoom in on KZT’s “passing mention” – and whole paragraph – dedicated to Villa Francia and … ghettoised academies. What’s the real message here?

      What is he really attacking? What and who is he really promoting?

      Culture the only thing on the agenda? Should we ask Labour’s favourite booted-out person to explain?

      • Jozef says:

        Kenneth suggested the mcp car park as an ideal location for a multi purpose venue, library and museum on X’tahseb.

        What matters is to ignore any concession previously agreed.

        You were right Tabatha.

    Ceci n’est pas un pissoir.

    Joseph Muscat has no respect for places such as the Wignacourt Museum. They are there just as a backdrop for his political blabbing. Shame on whoever permitted or encouraged this.

    • Tabatha White says:

      Joseph has been getting away with things for years because polite people are disposed to be lenient when such things happen: “to close an eye” and hope it won’t happen again.

      But people like Joseph have greedy, cheeky, hood-wink and exploit written all over them.The snake-oil artists, where ego needs to be supplemented towards end-objective. Respect must have been a missing element or one that he privately had a bad reaction to when the Jesuits went about their business and discipline of instilling it.

      The thing is, that after the event, it’s done. He’s over-stepped respect on so many fronts that reactions pointing towards lack of respect are no longer the first. Does this mean that his tactic is working? That actually respect is not a factor we expect from him but that it doesn’t shake us too much any longer?

      These little leniencies, same as with his little lies and “why not” policies – all failed, are what are in danger of paving the way to the time when the bigger ones will have to become the norm IF he and the rest of the stooges win the election.

        With you 100% Tabatha. WYS is definitely not WYG.

    The man is beyond ridiculous. Had he spoken without that podium, we might have believed that his press conference was spontaneous.

    • Jozef says:

      Yes, it has to be regimented, no overlying taste taking it beyond set rules.

      And these will be the ones who’ll promote the arts.

  11. C Falzon says:

    Is that white device some sort of life support machine? He seems unable to go anywhere without it.

    I suspect it also incorporates a telepathic teleprompter as we haven’t been seeing the glass one lately.
