Thing is that I was ousted by the PL back in 1975, so forgive me for being cynical, Mr. Muscat. All I can say to you is that the young people of today, the ones who voted you in, the ones who do not believe what PL are capable of doing, they will be the same ones who will bring you down.

Remember these are not US, the young people of 1971. The young of today do not want anyone to dictate to them what air to breathe let alone what might be in store for them.

They will turn on you on a dime.

May the Maltese islands continue to flourish as they have been for 25 years or better. Please tkissirx il-pajjiz taghna.

I cannot believe that Mr. Muscat tried to sound like Obama. Get real…..but then again, most of the PL people are not so up to date with international affairs.

But he said it during a talk-show on TV: let the boats go past.

Not rescuing people from a sinking boat means they’ll drown.

There must be a recording of it somewhere. Simon Busuttil was on the same programme. They were MEPs at the time and there had recently been a vote in the EP about MEP’s remuneration.

Nixtieq inkun naf jekk il-bnadar u mkatar godda issuplixxihomx il-kuntrattur li jissuplixxi l-karta, dak tar-raba sular, ghax fil-Libya gieli kellu bejgh ta materal ta dan it-tip u kien jixtri x-xoghol ghal Libya mic-Cina.

@Matthew, it was Alfred Sant in 1998. He was using the same wording of Margaret Thatcher’s inaugural speech.

Now we are back to Partit Laburista.

Ivvota ghall-Partit Laburista (not il-Muviment il-gdid).

Now we are back to RED. Where are the blue EU flags? Old Labour?

This is where he got his speech from about ignoring “the colour of each other’s faces” even though it’s totally out of context because we don’t have a racial divide.

With a black man behind him, he must be feeling more Lincoln like than ever now.

If you want to see what Joseph’s speeches are going to be like throughout the coming five years, just keep an eye on Hollywood’s latest releases, especially politically tinged ones.

Who can ever forget Joseph Muscat quoting Margaret Thatcher quoting St Francis of Assisi?

The reason why Joseph never sounds convinced while speaking is because he doesn’t have any words of his own. It’s all a pastiche of Thatcher/Mintoff/Blair/Obama/Fenech Adami/Lincoln and whoever else he can find on youtube or at the cinema.

Certainly not Il-Guy.
