So, is Mrs Muscat going to bake up a batch of gingerbread men and take them down to the detention centre in a Tupperware box to show us how kind and caring she is?
Or is she too busy pretending to like dogs, pussy-cats and lesbians, and being nice to what she privately thinks of as ‘pufti’ while making believe that her husband eats soup and salad for supper and two pieces of fruit for lunch?
Maybe all those fashionable events for the high society at Girgenti Palace, those fashion shows at the Auberge de Castille, that posing in magazines to market Bulgari jewellery and Sarto clothes, that flying about to meet the Pope (and then ignore his words) and those concerts under the stars for ‘animal rights’ are eating up all her time.
What a ridiculous woman – manoeuvring her husband, who incidentally is rapidly taking on the form and colour of a real gingerbread man, into a position of power as a way of getting herself a social life with those who would otherwise have looked down on her and who only find her useful because of her marriage, and access to buildings, jewellery and clothes. If she really wants to make an impact as somebody with proper political concerns, she would head right down there to that detention centre and make a statement.
She doesn’t even have to go to the detention centre to do it. She’s a woman, isn’t she, and one who claims to be driven by concern for the weaker and by progressive values. Well, she has the perfect opportunity this morning to speak about the woman who gave birth last night on a rickety boat packed with others. Imagine going through labour and birth in those conditions. The pain, the fear, the press of other people around you, conditions not fit for an animal to give birth in. And Mrs Muscat thinks she had it bad because she gave birth to twins in a hospital bed, and proceeded to give one interview after another about it so that we could all sympathise with an experience she appears to believe is unique.
And next time she chooses to read a fairytale for the cameras, she can make another statement by picking children at a refugee camp, too.

The more I read about these people, the more I feel the urge to throw a cabbage or two in their direction.
Cabbages are useful – try dog mess.
Believe me, you’re not the only one.
If you decide to do it make sure that you boil them first, Caflanga.
I will be very willing to join you.
They wouldn’t notice it. They have more than enough cabbages among them already.
I can almost hear them saying: ‘Taf kemm huma orrajt hux’.
Shhhh, Ms DCG, please do not disturb her, she is still reading yesterday’s report on the repercussions of children’s bedtime. It HAS dented her theory that you picked on this subject just to spite her but now of course needs to contact marketing, again:

As the wife of the prime Minister of Malta, she should be the first to set an example by being a champion for these refugees. Take a tip or two from the late Mrs. Mary Fenech Adami and try to imitate her attitude towards the downtrodden.
Mrs. Fenech Adami was admired by all Malta for the way she always tried to help everyone. Mrs Muscat seems to think that people admire clothes, jewellery and posing, for the simple reason that those are her own priorities.
My late mother would say, ‘pozaturi u popaturi’. Now I know what she meant.
Fejn hu Manwel Mallia? Ma marx din id-darba bil-frott?

This morning, the Gvern tal-Moviment is licking its wounds. Like a dog.
The decree of the ECHR which stopped the Labour government of Malta from pushing back immigrants to Libya must be something the Moviment never expected in a lifetime.

Conditions would become more favourable for integration if Malta’s policies (currently 28th of 31 MIPEX countries) improved to Europe’s average. Malta usually makes progress when it follows EU laws and trends.
And Lady Elena is going to have a tough time explaining to people how nice her new best friend Michelle is, from now on. My heart bleeds.
Ironic that her cousin was the one to take the government to court to stop the push-backs.
Remember this?

As in BDSM ?
U, hi, kemm jien ferhana. Smajt x’wiehed kbir kien ser ibambalullhom lis-suwed Joseph tieghi.
No need to throw cabbages — there are enough among them already.
By now the entire nation knows what Joseph Muscat, his wife, his cabinet and all PL MPs stand for: OPPORTUNIZMU at its highest level.
Incidentally I watched the faces of the first non-OPM cabinet meeting in the parish hall of Marsaxlokk. They looked like they were children on an exciting outing.
What counts is not the meeting venue, but the substance of arguments, true political vision that improves the welfare of all without ignoring diveristy, being inclusive and not playing the role of ‘l’empereur.’
We know that the last debacle initiated by Joseph Muscat outside and inside Parliament about the issue of illegal immigrants has shed full light on his character, his poor thinking schemes and political strategies, his ‘littleness’ in terms of human values and fundamental rights, his theatrical daily living.
He has intentionally put himself in a position where the only choice was to follow common sense.
How I laughed and cried yesterday evening when news broke out that our political midget, Joseph Muscat, gave in to what is right. He had to be told what is best in such circumstances not by the fools around him and his near comedians, but by a bunch of morally and mentally strong NGOs and later by 69 brave lawyers, who prefer truth to ignorance, who are loyal to what is right and worthy ideals.
I am still worried, like many others, about the likely repercussions in European circles when we as a nation come to substantial matters. EU will definitely not rely on Joseph as id did with former PM Gonzi and the current PN Leader Simon Busuttil.
Shame on Joseph Muscat! He kissed a hand (of Pope Francis) when he had the intention of kicking out of our country those whose sufeerings and deaths were brought to the attention of the world in Lampedusa, just a day beforehis horrendous push-back decision.
The least Joseph could do is to make a public apology to the whole nation and to commit himself to the observance of what is legally right and in line with fundamental human rights.
The honeymoon’s definitely over. Even because it’s been going for over five years.
Any faked image of Obama’s can do left of center is irretrievably shattered.
Helena Dalli, Parnis, Coleiro, Bartolo, the suburban reds, surely can’t allow themselves near him at the moment. It’s an ideological fundamental principle that’s been broken.
Dying to know what Yana Mintoff thinks.
For the past two weeks the only appearances he made was with the two ‘digruntled Nationalists’ Dalli and Mallia.
Comments from the usual ex-GonziPN galore. Where’s Labour?
They want to pull down that ugly high chimney which spews out cancerous smoke.
Just think about it, a high chimney is an efficient way to send fumes far away from the polluting source; and this ship of fools led by a buffoon want a short chimney because that’s what they promised.
Even a gas plant produces toxic fumes.
So have these wise guys at the Marsaxlokk parish hall already calculated the minimum height of the chimneys for the Delimara Power Station which is at sea level and under a cliff?
Who needs engineers when we have a roaming cabinet listening to what people want?
Isn’t that Zammit Lewis’ wifey standing next to the first lady?
Isn’t it always Zammit Lewis’ wifey standing next to the prime minister’s wife? It must be her new job.
Not to be the harbinger of doom or anything, but what will happen when Joseph Muscat declares that withdrawal of our EU membership is “in the national interest”?
There will be a Facebook campaign to name the new Maltese currency, the Lira being so outmoded.
Of course the name will be chosen by Joey and the Facebook vote will be a sham.
They follow him like chickens.
Ian Borg will be out of a job.
Cyrus Engerer will be out of the running.
Marlene Mizzi will have to stick to posting photos of her kittens and cat sjuts on Facebook.
Claudette Abela Baldacchino will have to content herself with her hajja tar-rahal back home.
Joseph Cuschieri will have to buy his pizza from tal-kantuiera tal-lazy corner instead of a takeaway in Strasbourg.
The queen of Burmarrad will have to stop giving interviews about her international lajfstajl.
And everyone will have to forfeit their EU passport and confine themselves to life on a barren rock.
Threats of withdrawal from Schengen will come first with a hint against Eastern Europeans.
Yes, and there are several precedents for that. So here’s the sequence of events as I see it:
1. Suspension of Schengen status.
2. Suspension of EU budget contribution by Malta.
3. Withdrawal from EU agencies.
4. “Freezing” (because they just love deceitful terms) of parts of the EU membership treaty, including the bits about hunting, freedom of movement and taxation.
5. “Freezing” of Malta’s EU membership.
But they’ll wait until the vote on EU-China trade. The old paymaster is not to be let down.
This pic calls for a caption competition.
She’s not the First Lady. The wife of the other guy that hands out scholarships to his daughter-in-law’s sister is the First Lady.
And aren’t we lucky.
Look at that limp and flaccid handshake. She looks like she is presenting her hand to be kissed by some supplicant, not shaking the hand of another woman.
