Oh I watched it. I prefer to see than not to see. I have the following comments:

You can be sure that the public is not going to remain uninformed about anything this Govenment visibly puts on its popularity priority list.

This makes me wonder what is scripted first: the announcements or the policy. I now think that the Parliament disastrous shoes photo-op needed JM to be making the announcement and the lectern to be there so as to fit into such propaganda clips.

Muscat and the scriptwriters have learnt to focus on Maltese and leave English out of the sentence structure. Daphne’s blog is keeping them on their toes, with every disaster being corrected on the job, insofar as the comments are understood.

Such filming is poor but one or two clips will suffice in enhancing presentations by financial services companies.

The carefully-worded script aims to touch all the right buttons. The delivery is a glossy build-up but the content is a simple script for dummies. In fact, the whole unnecessary marketing effort is a dummy/pacifier that will work with PL but not with those who want real action not just words.

Your average PL believer will be reaffirming his faith in Joseph after this.

Your Nationalist-leaning businessman says follow-up action on words of your own Ministers is non-existent. Paroli si fatti no.

The timing of everything that has happened since the elections, especially the culmination of appointments in the last week, has been made to optimise the tranquiliser effect of this propaganda treatment.

Lastly, the cheek of using josephmuscat.com Twitter and Facebook with the Maltese flag to advertise this form of brainwashing, in addition to all the points highlighted by Daphne on the irregularity of such an “address to the nation,” is what finally curdles the whipped texture when assessing the whole tasteless effort.

The rest were pre-electoral promises and what he wants us to think about his performance.

On the streets and in the work places, people are fuming about the traffic jams, Arriva’s no change, vindictive transfers (like the hard worker who is now supervised by a cleaner), board memberships and chairmanships for the billboard people, amnesties for prisoners as promised before the elections, and the cherry on the cake is that the EU put Malta run by this showman on the Excessive Deficit Procedure.

What a mess.

Yepp, there is serious trouble. The Honeymoon Is Over. And the government is still in opposition mode. And they have just realised that the whole 5 years is not going to be sufficient for them to make the transition to government.

Maybe Carmen Camilleri Ciantar Pullicino Orlando Smith can procure a free copy of the Yellow Pages for the Prim?

wtf? Really bad taste – and let’s not talk about the filming from different angles. Are we filming pre-electoral propoganda here or what?

It feels like he is still begging for votes. Cut the crap please, you’re in government now.

Not to mention that it is badly lit and that it shouldn’t have occurred in the first place.

Hear Hear. I did almost the same thing. However, I keep insisting with TV service providers that they start offering the pay-per-view schemes, where one select the channels that one wants to view, but to no avail.
