So the tall, dark, oldish man who lives a door or two away from the Mrabat hardware store has made it to Brussels too. (See from circa 0.12′ onwards). Is he officialy Muscat’s bodyguard? Since I pay taxes, I believe I have a right to know, too.

In reply to Rita Camilleri. Yepp, now he can come back and solemnly proclaim that he has "been there done that."

@ Alex – that was the only thing that interested him. He arrived. He’s there. He’s seen and heard.

He is LOVING every minute of it. He can’t wipe that smug grin off his face. It’s all about him. It was about him all the time.

Why was Louis Grech not with him? Because Grech is the deputy prime minister. His function is precisely to stay in Malta and step in the shoes of the PM when the latter is out of the country.

[Daphne – I suppose you failed to notice, over these last few years, that Tonio Borg (deputy PM and Foreign Affairs Minister) travelled to Brussels with PM Gonzi for international meetings and EU summits. There is no need for the PM to be in the country so that there is a manager in situ. How primitive can you get. Mhux ta’ b’xejn jitla l-Lejber b’daqs tant injoranza u invidja, ha nghidlek.]

Is that a jacket he’s wearing?

Doesn’t he even bother to go in a suit on his first sorti as Malta’s prime minister?

His chief of security looks better dressed than him.

Helena Dalli said yesterday to Reno Bugeja and the nation, aired concurrently on TVM and TVM2, that she made photocopies of the pages of the manifesto that concern her ministry to pass around to the people in her ministry for implementation.

She worked on her laptop since her office isn’t set up yet.

I was waiting for the scheduled program of Bondi+. What happened to that?

Who changed the TVM schedule and why?

Little Joey looks overwhelmed less than a week into his rule. Surrounded with creeps, codgers, crackpots and clueless clingers, wouldn’t you?

Of course Louis Grech did not turn up with Joseph Muscat for the Brussels Summit.

The dignitaries there would have thought that the father of the Prime Minister of Malta did not trust him to get to Brussels alone.
