Keith’s and Joseph’s idea of government: five years of preparing their campaign video for 2018
There is currently a large vehicle from the Labour Party’s television station parked in Merchant Street, with a cable running from it all the way up the facade and in through the window of the PM’s office.
Future campaign videos are also the reason journalists were kept on a seating platform outside the Auberge de Castile while the PM addressed them from the doorway. He was being filmed from behind, which would have given a dramatic perspective down the sweep of stairs of Muscat framed in the doorway with a small crowd listening to him – just the kind of deliberate staging we had throughout the electoral campaign, under the direction of film-maker Mario Philip Azzopardi (who got his iced bun).
No wonder lots of people are increasingly being left with the sensation that little or nothing is being done by way of government.

Minister for Justice and PP (Public Perception).The ex-Super One hack likes what he’s good at.Having Franco under his responsibility is no mean feat…”Ghax taf kemm batejt u kemm qed nirsisti, u Owen ma qbiltx mieghu meta qal…”
Simon, Beppe and Mario should give him a good run this summer for those 18,000 voters who switched to Labour.
And the newly restored facade being ruined by these low lifes…. so they can shoot some propaganda video….. Disgusting.
Can’t find the words to express my feelings. Probably they think all the painstaking work done to restore the Auberge de Castille to its original magnificence was also money spent down the drain.
Incidentally, I missed Mario Philip’s iced bun. Could you save me the trouble of looking it up in your voluminous archives?
I suspect he came over from Canada to retire here (what a lousy place this was under the nationalists!) and in the process found himself another lucrative income. He was always an ambitious, self-centred man.
All this works. One needs to keep in mind that the Maltese electorate is not that sophisticated and not that questioning.
Joseph and Keith have realized this long time ago, way before the PN, who try to campaign uselessly on substance.
Alfred Sant had refused a foreign PR team because it was too expensive.
There were at least five of them this morning blocking the uppermost part of Merchants Street. Ronnie Pellegrini was with them at one point.
It worked for Ronald Reagan.
They’ve made the Auberge de Castille an extension of the Labour headquarters.
Maybe they are preparing for a reality show from Castille?
Or a drama series for Frederick Testa?
Since 9 March, we’ve had a lot of entertainment from Castille, so any production filmed there is likely to attract a good audience.
U mhux xorta Joseph, għadih minn ‘aw[n] il-wajjer.
Looks more like a cesspool hose.
One needs lots of preparation seeing JM will be PM for the
Next 10 years. Just get used to it.
[Daphne – That’s all right, Dennis. I was the mother of two children and I’d never known what life was like under anything but a Labour government, though I did have vague memories of sunnier days when I was five or thereabouts. You can say I’m used to it. And fortunately, now we can get away from Malta. Back then, we couldn’t.]
So we now know that the Soho boy was interviewing the minister for public perception alias our Prime Minister.
As if it wasn’t enough, we had the usual diatribe by the President of the revision of our constitution against the party which he loved more than Eddie Fenech Adami himself.
Simon shouldn’t envy Joseph even though the latter has a very loyal parrot or should I say cockerel.
