What did I tell you? The classroom suck-up has a crush on the elegantly superior class prefect.

The Department of Information has released photographs of the prime minister at the European Council meeting (and just look at the cringe-makingly appalling title of the press release).

Three of them feature close encounters with David Cameron, and one of them should have been deleted at birth, rather than released to the media, because it is just crying out for an obscene caption.

    What was David Cameron telling Joseph that made Joseph smile?

    • Makjavel says:

      He was discussing Willie.

    • Gahan says:

      “Send my best regards to my great friend Lawrence.I hope he’s enjoying his much deserved rest from that cocky MP who used to call him during our work at this council. I really miss his wit and sense of humour.”

  2. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Joseph has to restrain himself or he’d be rubbing one off.

  3. canon says:

    If Joseph Muscat has some kind of attraction towards David Cameron, the British Prime Minister should be warned.

  4. etil says:

    Is Muscat wearing a bulletproof jacket under his suit-jacket or is he just getting bloated despite his sessions at the gym and his lunches of fruit?

  5. Calculator says:

    Titles aside, I wonder who chooses the DOI photos released nowadays.

    Either they have a talent for choosing the worst of the lot, or these really were the best they had.

    • La Redoute says:

      They were the ones that feature David Cameron.

      Muscat, like Mintoff before him, feels that being around an Ingliz enhances his status.

      • Calculator says:

        And, I guess, like Mintoff, he’s also against ‘interferenza barranija’. What a bunch of hypocritical posers.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        What the hack language did he speak to Cameron in? Patriots with balls, aren’t we all?

    • ciccio says:

      It’s a combination of the two, you see. The worst are the best they have.

  6. Gorg Borg says:

    Why is it that he always has more hair when he’s in Malta?

  7. bernie says:

    Allura dawk li hemm madwaru x’jigu minn Joseph? Hutu? Kugini? Zijiet?

    Dak qed jibza’ minn Muscat, x’jghamillu l-qrun minn taht? (3rd photo)

  9. Catherine says:

    Look at the amount of cuff showing from under his suit jacket. And his hair is disappearing fast. If he turns up with a new head of hair anytime soon it’s a measure of how stupid he thinks everyone is. I’m waiting for it.

  10. edgar says:

    Muscat must be using Wash & Go shampoo.

  11. Chris Portelli says:

    Can we have a caption competition for the last photo?

  12. Gahan says:

    Second photo caption; “This would be my last handshake with you if you use the veto.”

  13. Gahan says:

    Third photo:

    The Prime minister facing Cameron: “Why is this bloke laughing continuously”.

    Cameron: “He’s still in his honeymoon period and thinks that by posing near me he’s going to solve his country’s deficit problems.”

  14. Mark M says:

    Our PM needs to change his barber. His sideburns shouldn’t be cut in a sharp straight line by his temples. That’s quite unnatural looking.

  15. Timpana says:

    Also made it on today’s day in pictures on BBC.

    I wanted to see the news about the bendy bus accident on the coast road, but on TVM we had a direct link with the European Council where the Prime Minister was interviewed.

    Honestly, my feeling after the long “monologue” the Prime Minister came out as if he was not involved in the decisions taken by the council.

    He looked detached and more like he was just reporting what happened rather than what he decided together with his equals in the EU.

    After trying in vain to find the news bulletin I found that “il-hakma tal-barrani” syndrome is still there:

    For me, the pictures scream “closet homosexual”.

    [Daphne – Yes, well, Liberal, lots of us agree, but we’re not running around spelling it out. Let’s be civilised, shall we.]
