The ‘speech to the nation’ is on Youtube

Published: June 18, 2013 at 2:11am

But they’ve ditched the opening and closing sequence with the national anthem and flag. His acting and delivery are hopeless, really terrible – false and wooden.

For heaven’s sake, with all those luvvies on board the Labour bandwagon, can’t they find somebody to teach the prime minister basic acting skills?

Or maybe he could just try being himself – minus the spiteful barbs and the smirks.

    I can’t stand listening to this guy. Every time he says something, you have to translate it by negating it.

    Malta Taghna Ilkoll – sure, ask those working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s back to 1997, and I do not just mean George Vella.

    Joseph’s “Priedka tal-Milied”, how sweet.

  5. I sit and weep says:

    Yet another priedka tal-Milied.

    And all in strict conformity with the meess tad-duttrina’s instructions re hand gestures.

    He has squirrel hands.

    [Daphne – Yes. They are among the most creepily unmasculine hands I have ever come across in my life. They really freak me out.]

    All this seems a big mise-en-scene to cover up the fact that he seems close enough to break down and cry.

    I’m not going to listen to this clown but, for the record, xogħol and ħidma are synonymous in Maltese. Using both of them in the same sentence is the kind of useless repetition loved by politicians who are not good orators.

    Is that the PM writing with a pencil?

    It is ridiculous. I never heard of a country where the Prime Minister requires the release of a promo.

    It is ridiculous, i never heard of a country where the Prime Minister requires the release of a promo during his tenure let alone within the first 100 days of his tenure. This is an utter farce.

    Is it my impression or was it filmed at night to give the impression that, miskin ara kemm hu habriki jahdem tard.

    Wow! That was an amateur show by Joseph. He should rope in the Crosscraft guy for some tips.
