I don’t. I feel angry at him. He squandered a 12,000-vote majority and foisted his own problems upon the entire nation.

No doubt, failure will be presented as success, and this will be believed by those who voted for him. But I dread what JM’s reaction will be since he will know the truth.

No, he doesn’t need time – that is not the point here.

The respective leaders’ behaviour is carefully rehearsed before attending these events. Muscat must have been intentionally shunned on the advice of the respective countries’ diplomatic corps. I may be wrong but it would appear to be that way to me.

Joseph Muscat has made it clear that he prefers China to Europe, and Europe has reacted accordingly.

Three out of four jackets. Not that women politicians have much choice when it comes to conference dress. It’s more or less the primary colours, green, and, where appropriate, black. Silver is out.

And why is it that Muscat seems not to know (or not give dafuq) about fellow Socialists and Social-Democrats except when it suits him (that is until 9th March)? He should’ve been cosying up to two of those red jackets.

See? Even the Frogs have more sense than the Maltese. For I haven’t seen anyone in Malta unswitching.

Around the time of the elections in France, people were all talking about giving Hollande a chance etc. and to my disbelief, proud to be voting Hollande. Today, asking the same people if they are still Socialist and proud, the answer is “Non, et j’en connais plus un.”

Joey came over to Rutte to speak to him as he’s seated in the Slovenian seat here.

Of course Mark Rutte is not that interested.

Rutte is not changing much on this issue but told the press that a surveillance plane will be lent to scan the Mediterranean for 3 weeks in December.

He stated this in an interview where he also said that Holland’s immigration influx is way too high when compared to some south European countries. So “nothing was changing for Holland” he said.

I wondered whether he waddled out in front of him with intention.
