Leo Brincat placed an advertisement in It-Torca yesterday (preaching to the converted), selling himself as the face of change. No words are necessary.

We badly need a change in direction.
“Passenger movements at Malta Airport last month increased by 4.2% when compared to the same month last year, reaching an all-time record of 176,818 for the second month of the year.
Seat capacity for the month increased to 249,144 seats, 1.6% more than February 2012. The average seat load factor grew by 1.8 percentage points in this same month, reaching a record 71%.” (The Times\)
All Labour candidates have taken to images next to the Great Leader.
Everyone except Marlene Farrugia, who prefers the Irish harp player’s album setting.
Capitalism’s alive and well in Labour, the ‘feature’ in yesterday’s Circle laid out according to each candidate’s budget.
“The Prime Minister emphasized that the Labour government was one for all people. There would be no reprisals against anyone, he said, since all were Maltese. The party will act with justice and honesty, he declared.”
OMG. Doesn’t this sound so familiar to what Joseph Muscat is preaching. And alas we all know well what those terrible years brought about.
It is left wing speak at its best. The change desired is that of goverment and not of themselves – as dyed in the wool lefties, what they preach applies to the proles only and not to themselves.
This morning I heard a song on One with the terrific line: ‘Qum ja poplu gwejjed’, complete with music straight out of North Korea. Soon the word ‘socjalisti’ will creep in.
Remember everyone (and remind those around you), however delightful the siren song of the ‘moviment’, on the ballot paper is written: Labour Party, complete with burning torch – a torch that has ruined countless lives in Malta.
And just to put the record straight, I’m no great fan of Gonzi either, but at least he leaves us in peace to prosper – or not – as we decide.
The golden days, when colour televisions were distributed personally by Herr Flick.
Leo pledges that his services will be given orally in the future while Cyrus is a biographic analist (Etymology – root of analyse ‘analysis’ + -ist )
Nice going!
Silvio Parnis bl-“endoscopy” jonqos.
Leo Brincat is the face of change of Labour. In fact, in the 1980s, he was your only hope to change your black and white TV for a colour one.
That same Leo Brincat’s ad was also in The Sunday Times, yesterday.

Nahseb ahjar infakkru naqra lin-nies kif kienet Malta “in Mintoff’s and KMB days.” I.E. 70′s u 80′s.

3. Zokkor (Sugar, biex ma jkunx hemm misunderstanding) – Igibuh is-suldati fl-ixkejjer u tmur tixtrih minghand tal-merca bil-kupuni (vouchers). NO PROBLEM TIXTRI KEMM TRID.
4. Colour TV – Jekk ma tkunx taf lil hbieb tal-hbieb minghajru kont tibqa. – NO PROBLEM TIXTRI KEMM TRID.
5. Telephone id-dar – No way jekk inti PN hi. L-impjegati tal-kumpanija tat-telefonija ta zmien Mintoff kienu kolla Lejber. ILLUM GHANDEK L-GHAZLA MINN FEJN TAGHZEL MA MIN SE TABBONA.
6. Komputer – Kapricc ghax Mintoff kien qal li bil-komputer jintilfu l-jobs. Mur gibna ghadna bit-”type writer” ejj. ILLUM COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS U TABLETS HI.
7. Taqra gazzetta ohra mhux “L-orizzont” jew “It-Torca” f’post pubbliku – No Way ghax mal-ewwel kienu jittimbrawk. – LIBERTA TA L-ISTAMPA U ESPRESSJONI.
8. Tghid li int NAZZJONALIST fil-pubbliku – Tkun qed tissogra li tispicca go xi frame up jew inkella partitarji ta l-MLP iharsu lejk qisek qtitilhom lil xi hadd ghaziz. LIBERTA` TAL-KELMA U ESPRESSJONI.

10. Xoghol – Transfers bl-addocc jekk ikunu jafu li int Nazzjonalist. ILLUM SAHANSITRA FIL-MEPA U HAFNA AWTORITAJIET OHRA HEMM NIES LEJBER.
U hafna aktar li jekk nibqa nikteb ma nieqafx.
GHALHEKK GHANDEK TIVVOTA PN. JOEY HUWA MINTOFFJAN HI U L-PROVERBJU MALTI JGHID “MIN JITWIELED TOND MA JMUTX KWADRU”
PN = XOGHOL, SAHHA, EDUKAZZJONI, PACI U SERHAN IL-MOHH.
I’ve always wanted to know, DCG, is the name “Herr Flick” a name you invented for Leo Brincat, or is it a well-known one of his? And in either case what lead to him being nicknamed like a german general?
[Daphne – Yes, I invented the nickname, because he looks like an SS guard.]
Of course, the image of Herr Flick originates from the comedy series, “Allo, Allo.”
However, Leo “Herr Flick” Brincat did his economics degree in East Germany, under the oppression of the GDR. And ever since those ancient days, he has attempted to import their cold-war era political defects to Malta.
Herr Flick is the Gestapo character in the superb comedy series “‘Allo, Allo’ “
Had you ever watched Hello Hello on BBC Entertainment, you would have known why Leo Brincat is called Herr Flick.
Skadut iehor!
