Even his cliches are as predictable as those of a Maltese internet troll

Our prime minister was live on Al Jazeera this afternoon, and he said proudly:
“We made Europe wake up and smell the coffee.”
I would say the reverse is true, though I would never use a hackneyed old internet troll expression like that. The minute you start using the verbal tics and language of the lower orders, you haemmorrhage everyone else. I thought Muscat knew that, which is why he spent an entire electoral campaign mimicking the linguistic tics of his target groups and being filmed speaking to his daughters in English.

The best was “the phone call I receive from the Navy”.
Imma kemm jiflah ikun patetiku.
He added that it was at night, so yeah right, the Admiral of the Fleet asked which aircraft carriers should be deployed but then the PM pinched himself and realized that he’s not his crush Cameron but the prime minister of Malta.
erm……. Cameron doesn’t have an aircraft carrier right now. Can you call him in about 5 years’ time?
Totalitarian behaviour
@ Bella Patria – imma minn jaf how important he felt – receiving a call from the Navy – wow.
Just heard from a French colleague who saw this piece. His comment? ‘He made Europe wake up and smell a rat.’
The EU woke up and smelled “Push-Back”, Joseph Muscat’s special aroma coffee.
Ridiculous !

Listen to the PN Leadership.
And listen to a real experienced statesman at 1:40.
Bring back Gonzi says I. It’s our only hope to revive this nation’s credibility
There’s no telprompter now.
How pathetic.
Does Joseph Muscat the Prime Minister of Malta truly think that the European Union needs him to “wake it up to smell the coffee”?
Italy has over one million immigrants, mostly African, Rumanian and Serbian. Germany is full of Turks. France and the UK are probably blacker than South Africa and Joseph Muscat is convinced that nobody noticed there was a problem until he came along. Kemm hu ridikolu.
The only ones smelling the java are the switchers who believed the PL would be a liberal party.
Personally, I still find it incredible finding myself to the left of Labour, at least on this issue.
Why are you surprised? I find myself to the right of PN and still way left of Labour.
We will soon hear Joseph Muscat telling us that the solution to the immigrants problem is to let Libya join the EU.
Europe woke up but it wasn’t coffee it smelled. It was the crap coming from our increasingly obnoxious PM.
Will someone put him out of his misery?
If Muscat defied international law and sent them back, and anyone of them gets killed, then he could be accused by the international courts for complicity in a murder. That was probably why he changed his decision.
He is also using this situation to ride on the passionate sentiments of a great number of his supporters to re-start his campaign against EU membership. Who knows what could happen next?
A few weeks ago Muscat said many nice words to the muslims and he also enrolled a muslim in his secretariat. And now he wants to send muslims back to the tiger’s mouth. But as Lawrence Gonzi used to say: “Judge the person from what he does and not from what he says!!!”
The man is truly cunning and under the skin of a nice guy lies the never changing wolf of the past.
Will someone put us out this misery?
We have a Navy? When did that happen? I missed it.
Typical of someone who has never worked in the private sector and is finally employed as a manager of private operation. At the first sign of a crisis (he’s only been there 4 months) what does he do?
He goes to the Managing Director and cries H E L P.
‘Wake up and smell the coffee’ was such an inappropriate expression in the circumstances that I thought there must be some misguided reason for him to have used it.
Oh that great time on waking up when you could shout Eureka! It came to me this morning, Cameron used it to warn tax evaders:
‘Mr Cameron said: “Any businesses who think that they can carry on dodging that fair share or that they can keep on selling to the UK and setting up evermore complex tax arrangements abroad to squeeze their tax bill right down. Well, they need to wake up and smell the coffee because the public who buy from them have had enough.”’

Oh for the love of God, Muscat, does this seem like a comparable scenario to you?
‘Coffee’ of all things in this situation? What a big mouth.
Now Joseph Muscat has to do a lot of talking, so not everything can be staged and rehearsed. The true Muscat shines through, and he’s crap.
What a change from the Labour Party of the 70s. For all their sins, they still had the heart to find a home for the Asians expelled from Uganda.
I always thought that socialism was about equality, irrespective of race or creed. The current Labour Party is more reminiscent of a far-right and fascist crowd. Shame on all of them!
Can I please know your email address?
