Comments on: Next, after Elton Taliana: “Nicky Azzopardi was punched by a ‘persuna ta’ twemmin Nazzjonalista’ who wanted to stop his attack on Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando”. So help us God.

“The chairman of the Malta Council of Science and Technology and the Law Commissioner “behaved in an exemplary way”.”

Of course they did, meaning they did not behave well but rather “exemplary” as in serving as a warning to others.

In reply to deceduti. The majority of Maltese people cannot analyse or evaluate if their life depended on it. Their higher order thinking skills are non-existent. And if someone thinks I am generalising or exaggerating, the result of the last election is proof enough.

In reply to Josette. He has already started but in a mild way. Things will improve as time passes by.

Well, it all makes sense to me (in Orwellian terms of course). It runs something like this:

“Nicky Azzopardi was (indeed) punched by a ‘persuna ta’ twemmin Nazzjonalista’. That’s JPO, who is of Nationalist ‘persuasion’.

The Nationalist JPO “wanted to stop his (Nicky’s) attack on Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando”, the current Chairman of MCST.

It’s immaterial that JPO and Jeffery Pullicino Orlando bear the same identity card; what is material for this statement is that somehow the “persuna ta’ twemmin Nazzjonalista” and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando have different personalities.

This kind of reasoning was commonplace during Labour’s Golden Years of the 70s and 80s. E.g. Malta was governed by the Workers’ Movement, ergo the workers couldn’t overthrow the government because they would be ‘overthrowing themselves’.

How long before Peter Paul Zammit starts to emulate Lawrence Pullicino’s antics at Police HQ?

I thought there was nothing wrong with being a ‘true’ Nationalist.

I just cannot believe how people trusted Joseph Muscat’s party. I still ask myself how they could have failed so catastrophically to analyse the individuals involved, what they said, and the situation as a whole.

I have begun to suspect that Maltese people do not want order, but to do as they please when they please. Some of think that the “kollox jghaddi” and “u ejja, mhux xorta” attitude is a reason to vote AGAINST Labour, but I suspect that more people find it a reason to vote FOR Labour.

This is really 1984 material. Rewrite past events, repeat this a few times and the public will believe it and accept this as true fact. Fabricated memories…

And while we’re remembering past labour governments, their methods, and how they have evolved, see this article in the Labour paper Malta Today:

http://maltatoday.com.mt/en/newsdetails/news/national/Sant-cabinet-considered-private-crematorium-in-Addolorata-cemetery-20130830

The last sentence is the only really pertinent one. Guess which application is going through.
