You know, it’s just occurred to me…

Ignatius Farrugia doesn’t speak English, let alone read it, so how does he know what I write and claim the ability to pass judgement on it?

But he isn’t, is he – he’s passing judgement on me, without knowing exactly why.

There is no way that somebody who writes about epitasers and Drings is capable of reading or understanding a newspaper column, even in Maltese, let alone in English.

    Now I understand why Mintoff never wanted computers to enter Malta. It was not the employment crap that he used to preach but rather that computerization would expose the fact, which he knew too well, that his followers were illiterate. They still are today.

    Typical Labour. How they speak and react is all fed to them by their media.

  3. J.J. says:

    “epitasers ghall mad Drings”

    I guess it’s his version of poetic licence.

  4. Osservatore says:

    He can hardly write Maltese to save himself because he is sub-literate verging on illiterate.

    And yet he has MEP aspirations…

  5. ken il malti says:

    Maybe he uses Google Translate and that is great for a screw up or two.

    “Epitasers ghall mad Drings.”

    What language is that? Maybe it’s Klingon.

    Viva Xarabank, l-aktar programm popolari mal-Maltin u l-Ghawdxin kollha.

    His latest status again refers to another “ikla genwina”. The whole lot of them are going to need bulldozers to get them around soon.

      Malta is producing some first-rate “eats men” these last few years and they are starting younger all the time.

      It might be good business to start importing heavy-duty electric personal mobility vehicles for the obese who cannot walk or run to the buffet table anymore like they used to.

    “But he isn’t, is he – he’s passing judgement on me, without knowing exactly why.”

    The majority of people who are “against you” are like that, passing judgement on you without knowing exactly why and without ever having read any of your articles.

    I’ve seen it even in supposedly intellectual people I know. There is no point in reasoning with such people.

    And yet, some brave souls allow him to bleach and wax their unmentionables. I doubt he understands the instructions on the packet.

    U le xi haga jaf miskin! He worked even for an airline abroad. Guess Airmalta during the golden days of Labour.

    Wouldn’t it be great if people who liked clowns did not vote them into office? How many times has one heard that so and so is ‘OK, because he makes us laugh’. Should not the pertinent question be ‘is he fit for purpose’?

    Ah democracy, never thought I’d see you biting us in the arse.

  13. Liberal says:

    Epitasers? Are those tasers that give you epileptic fits? That explains the pose in the picture.
