Naħseb ilhom li waqqgħuna għaż-żufjett. Init għalfejn taħseb li ilhom tant jgħidu li l-UE u l-IMF m’għandhomx fiduċja fihom (meta waħħlu f’xi komplott ta’ Tonio Fenech)?

The roadmap is currently out of order as they are still waiting for the shipment of the GPS to arrive (it is currently out of stock)

He won’t find his support, not after Muscat appointed Lou Bondi to the National Festivities Commission.

He will use a technique to be called “veto for votes.”

Italy managed to hold landings for a very short while but with the Hirsi Jamaa & Others case Italy was humiliated for Berlusconi’s antics when in 2012, the European Court of Human Rights Chamber found against Italy that the “pushback” policy violated various articles of EU Convention on HR.

It beggars belief how a PM accompanied by his Minister of Interior utters the “Pushbacks”. Don’t they have legal consultants to brief them on the ramifications of using such a word and in such a brazen fashion while visiting an EU Office.

A PM is a leader not a Pied Piper, should always act always that manner and should never embarrass Malta on the International scene.

The same goes for the bloated frog Minister Mallia. The Italians used Malta’s fragility when their idiot Roberto Maroni used to make visits to Carm Mifsud Bonnici and we should have learned from the PN’s faux pas. So look for political solutions, hard as they may be, but not by committing foolish diplomatic moves and resorting to childish antics.

Nuzaw il-veto hey…tsk tsk. Twaqqghuniex aktar ghaz-zufjett u tghallmu tmexxu b’responsabbilta.

Same attitude as with his “Wot the Hack” refusal to speak in English in Brussels.

Brilliant. I see the intention is to be difficult with the EU and a walkover for the Chinese.

Of course, we’ve seen how aggressive Muscat can be. He takes things so personally and then tries to make others feel so bad about ” hurting” him.

He is like Mintoff, prone to sudden outbursts by the looks of it.

And why on Earth would he use a veto like that? Does he think that is an honorable way of doing business?

He wants Joseph to stop being a naughty boy and to lay off the veto thing and let Malta be continually used as a storage depot for hoards of Africans.

How sweet of your hubby to join you on your sunseeking escapades, Lady D. And his jokes are so hilarious you wouldn’t expect it from an ever-smiling prince.

[Daphne – Well, Kevin, it was a Sunday, though I take it you don’t join yours and leave her instead to the sophisticated company of her assorted siblings and Pullicino Orlando. Incidentally, that wasn’t a joke, but a statement of fact. That’s exactly why the beaches are so crowded: because they’ve learned how to swim and they also have cars. Up until my teens and even early 20s, the beaches were empty. Swimming and sunbathing for recreational purposes were alien concepts among those who did not actually live on the coast. And most people couldn’t get to the beach without a car anyway. When they did, the men swam in cut-off jeans because they didn’t have trunks and the women swam in shorts and a T-shirt. Lots of them clung to those black inner tubes of lorry tyres and I even remember seeing grown women wearing inflatable arm bands. It was the same with Sliema/Paceville/Spinola 25/30 years ago – just people who lived there and the rest stayed in their own towns and villages (I’m tempted to add ‘where they belonged’). Rajt Malta tinbidel, insomma. Now everybody’s moved to Sliema and the real Slimizi have moved out to get away from them.]

You seem to have missed another Mintoff style strategy. Street meetings. Hemm il-konsulenta konta l-faqar fl-istampa ukoll. How appropriate.
