    Mr. President I speak to Soleil and Etoille in English but to you in Maltese.

    He maked them smel di kofi den 2!

    Tenk u end gud bi! We no need you

  3. Aston says:

    He was then, quite literally, half the man he is today. Enough to put you off soup and salads.

    • Zeppo says:

      Which effectively means we can only get twice as much shyte off him today. I shudder at the thought of what is lies ahead for us in the coming months.

  4. Bob says:

    Heck is what’s called a “minced oath”, where you avoid actually swearing by saying a word that sounds similar to them.

    Other examples of this are darn, cripes, jeepers.

    Heck itself is usually a replacement for “hell” by either those wishing not to swear or not to use the true word in case it offends, hurts or scares those around them.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      I think he actually said “wot de fuck” at the end, but the microphone was turned off.

      Such is his burning zeal for his ancient mother tongue, refreshed with the blood of his patriot forefathers, what.

      You and I may think he’s a prize twat, but to everyone else in Malta, this is how a hero speaks, acts, thinks and looks.

    HERO lol :D

    Wicc ta’ rieqed, mohh bla sens, u personalita’ zero!

    Min jaf kemm dahaq bih f’qalbu van Rompoy! Nimmagina li ried jghidilna “Ahjar tilqghu lill-imigranti ilegali u tehilsu minn dan in-nofs kedda.”

    Shame on those who discarded former Prime minister Gonzi. Go to 1’40″ and listen to a true statesman…and then weep.

    I am not an English enthusiast, but I found myself feeling rather embarrassed at our prime minister insulting President Van Rumpoy in Maltese when Van Rumpoy himself chose English to communicate rather than using his own language.

  9. Viva lejber says:

    You either give us our language or thank you and good bye. It seems threatening was always his style

  10. matt says:

    What a national embarrassment. Our country deserves much much better. His infantile behaviour is alarming.

  11. Dr. Gremxula Briksa says:

    Is this man for real? Such a drama queen and then he swears in English (he says fuck at the end) and talks to his kids in English as well jekk ma tridx, how posh! Making his speech in English would have spared us that Naqblu fuwwqu introduction.

  12. Mark says:

    “You either give us our language…” What a colonial mindset.

  13. bob-a-job says:

    Now he’s amusing them with his black humour – pathetic.

  14. Juvenile standards and not those of a prime minister speaking on very serious matters to an international politician in parliament.

    I do not see any humour, still less British humour, in what he said.

    For his own sake, and that of Malta that he represents, the prime minister should show more maturity.

    • Paul Bonnici says:

      Dr Muscat lost his dignity there. It is not easy for a Maltese to emulate the British sense of humour.

  15. Aldo Laudi says:

    They are not translators but INTERPRETERS.
