Well done, Simon Busuttil

Yet another tactic the Labour Party’s cribbed from campaigns in foreign parts: the Ambush Before TV Cameras. Compare the way Simon Busuttil handles this to the defensive and evasive way Joseph Muscat deals with questions even when he’s expecting them because he’s asked the press along: “Mhux hekk ghamilt int ukoll?”; “Forsi derhitlu l-Madonna”; “Ghamilt bhala ghamlu eluf ta’ Maltin ohrajn.”
It’s so obvious that this Jeremy is a Labour stooge that we nearly needn’t bother going to Facebook to find out. But all the same, here goes:

Bravu, Simon, addressing arrogance and rudeness with calmness and good manners.
That’s a trait not many possess. But yes, that’s the way it should be done.
A very big “Well done” to our Simon. Now, let’s see who is Jeremy Portelli??

What arrogance!
I do understand some people had their favourite hobby curtailed but definitely some form of control was due.
Even today the controls on hunting are not optimal, and I don’t mean for the hunter, either.
Has Muscat promised them that once he is prime minister he will relax the hunting rules?
This guy, Jeremy Portelli, should go to his leader and ask him these questions. No doubt Joseph Muscat will also promise him that he will place more birds in the sky so the hunters can enjoy their ‘pastime’.
This guy needs to be told that what we want is good jobs, better education and high quality health services, not hunting. Great response from Simon, everything must be done within rule of law and not free for all.
Sorry to delude you but these type of persons are not interested in anything but hunting. Wonder whether he does hunt in Scotland, from what I understand there are very strict rules on hunting over there. Simon rose to the occasion and made Jeremy Portelli look like an uneducated fool. This is the stuff that great leaders are made of.

Teatrini biss – issa anke Sant thajjar u qed jaghmel film. Imsieken dawn in-nies.
I am not a cactus expert,but I know a prick when I see one.
Really well done – he managed to handle the provocative delinquent remarkably well.
Calm, direct and assertive. Brilliant.
Haven’t the hunters understood yet that the huge majority have had it up to here with their shenanigans.
Daphne what about the way Joseph Muscat reacted to Lou Bondi’s questions about Leo Brincat’s performance on TVAM?
Simon represents responsability and discipline – words that Joseph Muscat hasn’t understood yet.
Yes, he was rather impressive in front of the cameras. Remained very calm and relaxed.
PS this guy is not a hunter, but one of Labour’s stooges, as fully confirmed by his Facebook page and shown on Net TV. When will they learn?
Bravo! Calm, firm and clear.
Prosit, Simon.
It’s fine to spend €100-150 on shotgun pellets but then €50 for a licence is to much. Tejatrin, as Busuttil said.
Well done, indeed.
Super One tried to catch Simon on film shouting at the hunter so that they will repeat it ad nauseam every time there’s Dr Busuttil in the news. Way to go Simon, you did not get caught in their web.
Facebook discussion from the same guy who was pictured as the angry hunter:

As intellectual as they come.
So crass and ignorant. No self-respecting woman would be seen associating with him in any way.
I’m so glad I support a party for which there is no cause to blush every other day.
Isn’t it such a great coincidence that it was Malta Today who had a camera up and running during this incident? Not The Times, not the Independent, but that most impartial of newspapers.
And the whole clip as well. I do wonder when that august newspaper is going to start predicting Super 5 numbers. Saviour must be peeing in his pants with excitement.
Leadership material.
Malta needs SImon Busuttil – NOW
Osservajt fil-video li Jeremy QATT ma setgha jircievi dik l-ittra bhala kaccatur. Mela ma jistghax ihossu offiz ghax hu ma rceviex l-ittra.
Hija iktar minn ovvja li dan iz-zaghzugh li jahdem fuq xi rigg taz-zejt fil-Bahar tat-Tramuntana qatt ma kkonvincietu din l-ittra biex jivvota PN. Dejjem ivvota Labour u allura hadd ma dahaq bih.
Il-body language u l-mod kif jaqbez minn argument ghal-iehor juri precizament x’jiffacjaw in-nies li jivvutaw PN minghand il-Laburisti meta jqum xi argument fuq il-politika.
Simon impressjonani bil-kalma u c-karezza tat-twegiba ragunata li ta lil Jeremy.
Fuq il-kacca Joseph m’hu se jghid xejn , baghat lil Jeremy jirraprezenta lilu nnifsu attaparsi iltaqa’ ma’ Simon fuq il-bankina.
Mid-dehra Jeremy ittrenjah xi hadd kif ghandu jqieghed il-kliem: “Jiddispjacini ghal-mod kif itrattana l-Partit Nazzjonalista lilna l-kaccaturi…”.
Normalment kaccatur jghidlek: “Fenech Adami tnejjek bina u gidbilna meta baghtilna dik l-ittra qabel l-elezzjoni”.
Ta’ l-ahhar: il-Labour jinkwieta jekk il-gays ghandomx id-dritt jaghtu d-demm jew il-kaccaturi ghandomx dritt johorgu fir-Rebbiegha.
This guy is being encouraged to take up politics.
Such are the qualifications required to be a Labour candidate.
One comment that appears in Malta Today:
POSTED BY: il-bully — 01/02/2013 12:43:48 To me this quoted question is like that King in the story parading in the nude for all to see, with the court jester knowing the King is nude but yell: ‘I urge anyone with any information to come forward and speak to the King if he disagree of the King’s outfit’ it had to be that little boy so the story goes who said that we have a stupid King if he do not realize he is nude and do not want to correct himself!
I may be wrong but I believe this is the same twerp who was outside parliament putting on a show following one of the earlier no confidence votes.
FKNK has been eagerly emailing out this video clip to anyone they have on their mailing list.
Besides the fact that Dr Busutill handled the situation extremely well, whoever was behind this is plain stupid.
Are these same people prepared to investigate if this guy has a serious criminal record in the first place and then publicly associate themselves with him?
Hallih ha jivvota lil-Labour ha jibqa bl-istess.
Nesa li dhalna fil-EU, veru kaz ta’ kaccatur indannat.
Labour’s Joe the plumber.
The Dario Vella he’s chatting to is the same Dario Vella from your ‘Campaign video of the month’ post.

Brilliant response! Hunting licence 50 euros plus – that’s cheap. What is he complaining about?
He wasn’t even an adult when we voted for EU membership and even less did he carry a gun back then, although he physically looks much older.
So Simon in theory does not owe him any explanation. Jesus, they don’t get one right. At least they could have sent someone slightly older.
Hasra ma tafx bih Moira Orfei.
Ma jistax dan il-bahnan jitlob lil Muscat jaghmel referendum fuq il-kacca meta u jekk jiehu il-gvern.
Simon was fantastic here – calm and composed – we need more politicians like him.
