KILL ME NOW

And no, that wasn’t an invitation to Laburisti and other interested parties, either.

Here he is, sucking up to the head boy he fancies in the time-honoured fashion practised by flirtatious women: “SILLY ME, I DON’T UNDERSTAND MACHINES. WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I PRESS IT? AND AFTER THAT, WILL YOU OPEN THIS JAR FOR ME AS I’M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO DO IT MYSELF?”

    I think Cameron was taking the mickey.

  2. concerned citizen says:

    Did Toni not get the coke concession then?

  3. the pharmacist says:

    In the next episode of Joseph’s schoolboy crush: Joseph and Michelle invite David and Samantha to Girgenti for a relaxing long weekend of naqa soup and selit.

  4. ciccio says:

    I think our new PM is going to have to use that panic button very often.

    They will probably have to add another one. An eject button.

  5. Zammit says:

    Le, jekk taghfasa tigi il-mami ta’ Franco.

  6. Plotinus says:

    “Probed about PL deputy leader for party affairs Toni Abela’s presence at the very first Cabinet meeting, Dr Muscat confirmed that Dr Abela will be called upon to attend other future Cabinet meetings.

    “Dr Abela has an advisory role and he will be attending certain cabinet meetings. Although it is not a party matter, he will be wearing two hats. ”

    OMG, absolutely hilarious.

    Taf meta ‘jipanikkja’, meta wahda minn dawn il-granet jehellu it-‘teleprompter’

    Mamma mia, rega’ tfacca l-ahmar.

    • Pied Piper says:

      I have not seen one, yes one, EU flag at any of the Labour celebrations since last Sunday. And I have also noticed that those who still own the old Labour emblem flag have brought them out for the festivities. The organisers are no longer asking them to put them away, or swapping them for new ones.

      Now that the election is over, red is here to stay. Ghax il-Moviment taghna minn dejjem ahmar kien; l-aqwa li gibnihom maghna. Viva l-lejber.

    Utter humiliation – at first I thought it was a joke.

    Jesus help us.

  11. canon says:

    Was there something wrong with Joseph Muscat’s shirt?

  12. Grezz says:

    Ma jiflahx iwaqqa l-Malta izjed ghan-nejk Muscat?

  13. P Shaw says:

    Notice the forced diplomatic smile on the journalist’s face.

    • Futur Imcajpar says:

      My take on that smile was of a dog’s owner-worship, actually: “no matter what bs you’re going to utter, I love you dearly”.

  14. Lilla says:

    Doesn’t he realise how utterly ridiculous he sounds:

    1. for admitting to such a stupid thing; and

    2. for using such a stupid thing reason to name-drop.

    Name-dropping is a classic trait of a person with a hidden inferiority complex.

  15. Ganni says:

    One would expect, and I am certain this was the case, that this was the first thing Marlene told him: no panic button, send an sms.

    However there is a quaint Maltese trait which some continue to adhere to ‘ilghaba tal-iblah u tiehu li trid’. This will not work with diamond-sharp minds in the Council, nor anywhere outside Maltese hamlets.

  16. Plotinus says:

    Watching Dissett on TVM:

    “Jien u Cameron ikklikjana tajjeb hafna”

    I would like to know if David Cameron concurs.

    • Lilla says:

      Yes, I would love to know what Eton and Oxford educated Cameron really thinks of ‘our’ Joseph, God bless.

    • Grezz says:

      Judging by his facial expressions and body language, then I think it would be a safe bet to say that he does not.

    • francesco says:

      Cameron looked straight ahead.

      He might have been concurring through a reflection of Joseph, but I doubt it.

  17. Plotinus says:

    “Dan il-Gvern means business”

    Dear coconut do yourself a favour and tell your boss to stick to Maltese.

  18. Peter F says:

    U dan mar San Alwigi ghal giehna.

  19. SC says:

    Something just occured to me. If Muscat was such a hotshot in Europe serving as an MEP then why was he so star struck and seemed to be unknown amongst the leaders?

    • AE says:

      Probably because he spent his time there to ‘write’ his doctoral thesis rather than representing Malta in the various committee meetings. Nice way to do a PhD and get paid for it whilst securing your pension from such a young age.

    • Maria Xriha says:

      Bite-sized Borat-style politics? Is this what strikes a chord with the “new majority”?

  20. P Shaw says:

    David Cameron suggested to Muscat to read a particular book before they meet again at the next EU summit

  21. Frans Cassar says:

    It is useless to comment on our PM now, this is what the Maltese voted for and this is what we deserve. Incompetence and lack of political vision.

    This is serious guys, after just a week or so in office we have already had our first indirect tax imposed on us hardworking people, a 23 member cabinet with an army of back-office people to implement a non-existent plan. And I despair.

  22. Gakku says:

    When you press the button, the real Prime Minister comes in.

  23. Steve says:

    Min Jaf kemm dejjaqlu ghajnu jitkellem,

    ” please joseph, put a sock in it now”

  24. Futur Imcajpar says:

    Please, someone, urgently brief him about which button he has to press to flush the lavatory, before he asks Cameron to show him.

  25. Ooooops says:

    What a bloody idiot! Poor Cameron. He must have been thinking how dumb and ignorant the Maltese are for electing somebody like that to replace somebody like Lawrence Gonzi. FFS.

  26. Gahan says:

    And everyone’s talking about Cameron, Muscat and the panic button while missing the elephant in the room or rather the studio.

    Gino Cauchi is back where he belongs, Alleluia!
