He’s frequently on 903 doing a ‘review’ of news portals, the mind of a vintage red, a pint-sized Mario Vella.

Why do they think that’s a cool slogan? It means something else entirely.

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

So now the “Taghna Lkoll” has become an official printed placard.
That three syllable chant reminds me of the ones in the Roman circuses as the gladiator asks for the final blow.
