In reply to Grande. As in "I don't give a toss about the constitution."

Now we have had it confirmed that Pukky Demajo did indeed vote Labour, and made it known beforehand to Muscat. He can move on from licking Muscat’s derriere to licking stamps. A good promotion, but probably not quite the iced bun he had in mind.

I loved this part – not saying if it’s safe or not, but his logic is absolutely appalling:

Asked whether Libya was a safe port for the migrants rescued at sea, Mallia said: “Libya is a safe place because the migrants had just left from Libya so they must have felt safe there because they lived in Libya.”

In reply to M. Cassar.

Yes he does remind me of Napoleon in my mind’s eye. In fact the whole circus reminds me of Animal Farm – complete with bleating sheep : ‘Joey good, Cecilia bad!’

Now such circular arguments are expected either from someone who does not have a clue and is most definitely stupid or someone who is extremely devious. Of course being confident that no one is going to show you up helps.

Napoleon with Squealer attributes? Ah Mr Orwell!

Mallia’s use of the expression ‘did not give a toss’ is both correct and in context, if you loosely translate it to Maltese – ‘gie jitnejjek’.
