					<description><![CDATA[He should have put this warning on The Times commentary board , where all the whiners about gas and fuel prices , on bank profits , EU statistics, and the weather always give the impression that Labour’s Mister Fix It  Joseph Muscat will deliver the goods they whine about. 

Mr Spiritieri , Laiviera and J Brincat are not representing Labour.

So do not hope that everything will be alright if you vote Labour.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Joseph the conman.

IF he was serious he would have spoken out and made an example of what Albert Gauci Cunningham said. - The billboards are still up.

IF he wanted to reign in his crowd, Isla wouldn&#039;t have two trailers waiting to block it off during expected celebrations at which &quot;lanqas il-Pulizija ser jidhlu ghal 3 ijiem shah.&quot;

IF he was genuine, he would lead by example and not smirk in situations demanding a more befitting comportment.

IF he meant a word of what he said, he wouldn&#039;t have ignored the seriousness of the drug trafficking-cover up lies. - he would have resigned.

But a liar, with a huge ego, who has no idea about proper comportment or values, who needs a &#039;switcher&#039; to write his press releases, a teleprompter to talk, others to contribute overly (at which point does overly become completely?) towards his doctoral thesis, who would be PM with half a cabinet that already comes equipped with a CV dipped in our blood, is not expected by us to be capable of vouching for anything.

Did you dream up that Press Release simply because the Hamrun act required that formality? A day and a half later?

More dangerous despite being even more insignificant than KMB, Joseph&#039;s words count for ZERO:
ZERO truth. 
ZERO values. 
ZERO vision.

And that&#039;s about the sum of your contribution to Maltese politics anyway: ZERO. 

On this we not only have foresight, but the benefit of hindsight too.  And again, we are being proved right. One act is, again, already enough to prove that absolutely nothing has changed with your mob, and that you are the lead mobster.

You, Joseph, are no gentleman.  A gentleman&#039;s words are his deeds.  Your words have never been your deeds. Your deeds have never been your words:

Gentiluomo si nasce non si diventa.

This is not &quot;just another day&quot; where &quot;just another&quot; differently coloured tie gets chosen for you to put on in the morning. 

It is not a staged event.

It&#039;s not even meant to be about you.

This is OUR reality that you are conning your way towards.

Our REAL life: Our careers, our values, our economy, our investments, our security, our dreams, our next generations. 

Our work.

Your scam.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He did not condemn the hanged effigy of Dr. Gonzi at the PL&#039;s meeting. His voice on Xarabank calling Dr. Gonzi liar, liar, liar, is still echoing in their ears. 

It is too late to undo the harm he has done with his actions and words. As soon as they win, he will lose control over his supporters. They will cause mayhem and he cannot do anything about it. 

As one of your commenters said here earlier, Alfred Sant distanced himself from the violent elements within the MLP and took serious action. 

Muscat&#039;s call comes too late in the day. Being a showy showy, kissing his wife in public just to catch more votes (kemm hu helu hux, ibus lill-mara. Jahasra, arah kemm hu gustuz) he is afraid of losing popularity. This recent warning is as fake as his smile.]]></description>
