@Wilson – exactly – he (the PN) was punished because he was doing his job.

A couple of weeks ago he wrote a piece called “Kissing Christ’s feet”. He should have called it “Licking Joseph’s behind”.

Does Kenneth Zammit Tabone read The Times and its leading articles?

Here’s a collection of some of them – in case he missed them – which show that Joseph Muscat still lives in the past:

He worked hard for the ungrateful. So ungrateful we were that even some of his MPs, from whom one expects better, thought that he did not deserve a reasonable salary for a PM who worked 24/7 and negotiated for Malta 1.28 Billion Euros in EU funds.

Jean Pierre, I expected better from you.

If I’m not mistaken, our current PM has some kind of pension coming from the EU, which supplements his ‘reduced’ ministerial pay. He’s OK f**k them Jack.

He mocks him to hide his envy of him.

He knows very well that he is a real gentleman and statesman, hence his mockery and great hatred he instilled in his supporters.

It takes an honest and intelligent man to follow someone’s example. Two things that Joseph Muscat lacks.

Cuckooland.

Gonzi is a great statesman, leader and eloquent speaker basing his arguments on solid facts, figures and results and backed by sound reasoning not classroom jibes and taunts.

I am quite sure that you are doing it on purpose to ridicule the virtue but all you are doing is creating division when you preach unity, negativity when you speak about wanting to be positive and shaming yourself in the process.
Here is the difference in case I am wrong in thinking so:
hum•ble (h m b l)
adj. hum•bler, hum•blest
1. Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful.
2. Showing deferential or submissive respect: a humble apology.
3. Low in rank, quality, or station; unpretentious or lowly: a humble cottage.
tr.v. hum•bled, hum•bling, hum•bles
1. To curtail or destroy the pride of; humiliate.
2. To cause to be meek or modest in spirit.
3. To give a lower condition or station to; abase. See Synonyms at degrade.

I can suggest a good book in Maltese as well perhaps you find it easier to understand. It was written by Dun Gorg (San Gorg Preca) and published in 2003 entitled “Il-Pulptu Ta’ Patri Franku”. I am sure you will do yourself a favour if you read it before you make another speech.
