You couldn’t have described him better. He’s proud to come from a typical Maltese, quiet village – feels protected and cosy. He lives a simple life – playing with birds for hours. He’s still locked in his narrow-minded village mentality.

He finds it difficult to make up his mind on what he wants and worse he thinks he’s the smarter for it. He says he excelled in the sciences and yet he chose a legal career. Even though he thinks himself a top criminal lawyer he took a book on ‘Pure Maths’ on his trip to Italy (of all places) to discuss party financing!

I tried to watch the video but I couldn’t bear more than a few minutes. As you say he now feels (and looks) slightly more at ease with himself. It’s probably the same feeling he gets when he moves from one extreme (the legal and ‘literary’ complexities) to the other (the straight-forward certainties of mathematics).

He may indeed have been born to people who vote PN (minn guf ommu) but his ego-centric and narrow-minded village mindset is typically Labour. The good (and bad) thing about him is that nobody is safe with him on his side.

If they do, they can call at home and collect my PN membership card. Joseph Muscat dedfied the Nationalist feeling when he put this man on this Commission, and I am sure he had a feeling that the Nationalists will cooperate – as they had always done, except on rare occasions.

It’s the pizza delivery guys still waiting for their tip.

Imagine him having a coffee on Piazza Navona with the gabjetta under his arm…

Ghax issa sar ‘importanti’?

He should really work a broad. It would do him good.

Tsk, tsk. Use a sock next time.

I think most of us dream of him working abroad, preferably on Bouvet Island.

But if he really had the guts to leave his mummy and was capable of taking up a post away from Malta, he would have already done so by now.

You just said it Daphne. He won’t go because he can’t cope on his own away from familiar people and surroundings.
