Comments on: It’s kind of worrying when the government’s behaviour is so absurd and undemocratic that even KMB makes sense

Muscat will be concentrating on how to obtain the blessed 2/3rds in the House. We should expect some offers to PN Parliamentary backbenchers in due course – with the false excuse that he wants to involve the PN in the governance of the country. I hope that the new PN leadership will see through this. I am sure Simon Busuttil has already smelt the rat.

One will hope that Joseph Muscat’s Labour is not using KMB as well in their strategy to divide the PN opposition.

I apologise for resorting to this sort of thinking, but we now know Muscat far better than before.

Labour might be attempting to divide and ridicule the PN by having KMB express views which align with the positions being taken by the PN. This could be an attempt to harm the PN further from within, knowing well how many PN voters would never associate themselves with whatever KMB says.

Knowing KMB’s position about the EU, are they attempting to divide the PN on the EU as well, maybe?

In reply to Antoine Vella.

Does everybody say undervest? or is it simply a translation of flok ta’ taht?

I always thought that a vest was simply a vest. My father went to St Aloysius and also just said vest.

What’s with this undervest thing?

[Daphne – It’s British English. In American English, I believe a vest is a waistcoast or jumper, but the original British English ‘vest’ has been lost, while the name for the garment that goes beneath it (under-vest) has survived. Under-vest as with under-pants, the garment that goes beneath the pants, a word which has survived only in American English, and which has since been replaced in British English by ‘trousers’.]

Also.. did Joseph Muscat go to St Aloysius for all of his school years or was he an 11+ entrant equivalent? (or minus the 2 prep years?) If so, then that explains his ‘not fitting in’ thing. Late entrants only did fit in if they passed a character-test.

In October 1983, other church schools were under visible pressure to assist this fitting in if it didn’t happen naturally…

In reply to Antoine Vella. And a borrowed under vest at that.

Away with this Cold War era mentality of neutrality! KMB, together with his Hobbit Privitera, and CNi are completley frozen in time.
