Is this Alfred Bray character exceptionally slow or what?
Another glass of that and Malta’s socialist MEP will slip off her stool. This photograph was taken today.
He thinks Marlene Mizzi is an “ex nazzjonalist” (marelli, kif hasiba ragel). And not just that, but also the best one.
Somebody please tell him that Marlene Cacciattolo was born to a couple of Mintoffians, raised by them as a Mintoffian, voted Labour all her life, became hysterical and aggressive when pressed by reporters to say whether she voted Yes or No in the EU referendum, and has never supported anything other than the Labour Party.
It was Alfred Sant who made her chairman of Sea Malta – presumably because he thought that somebody who runs a small toyshop can run a state merchant shipping line – and two subsequent Nationalist governments kept her on so as not to make a martyr of her, but then it happened anyway nine years later because she has that sort of rough personality.

Bray seems just about adequate
He’s probably signed off as “ex-Nazzjonalist”
Typical case of “eats shoots and leaves”
Correct. If I’m not mistaken, he was also a PN councillor in St Paul’s Bay.
“Eks kandidat tal-PN ghal elezzjoni tal-1976 u l-1981, 52 sena attivist fil-PN, 15 -il sena canvaser tal-eks ministru Louis Degauara, kien ukoll canvaser ta’ Zaren Vassallo u fl-ahhar elezzjoni generali kien canvasser ta’ Edwin Vassallo. Dan huwa Alfred Bray li tkellem ma’ Breakfast News dwar kif ihares lejn il-Partit Nazzjonalista llum”
This is the description accompanying this Youtube video:

There’s a full stop missing before “ex nazzjonalist”.
I think Mr. Bray was an ex-Mayor of St. Paul’s bay council for some time and an undertaker. Another switcher who saw the light of day
That’s John Bray; I don’t know if they are related. Alfred Bray was a PN candidate in the 1980s and used to work in catering.
Do you follow Daphne’s running commentary, Ed? As far as I know you have NEVER contested what she writes. Or do you try to ignore her comments as you normally ignore mine?
Alfred Bray is the ex-nazzjonalist.
JC.
……..who wanted something which he did not get.
” (marelli, kif hasiba ragel). ”
I think there was some scheme were you can switch party and get a free sex change, so a Nazzjonalist becomes a Laburista and a Nazzjonalista becomes a Laburist. The scheme was only open to Nazzjonalisti though.
Nahseb Simon “Buzullotti” kien jghidilha ” Ghandek wicc ta’ nazzjonalista ” !!!!!!!
[Daphne – Anything featuring Mrs Mizzi really revs you up, doesn’t it, Privitera. Marlene Mizzi: the old man’s Viagra.]
Daphne, I love how even this tw*t finds your blog irresistible.

I think he’s referring to himself.
I hate to rain on your parade but I suspect the Bray character meant HE was the ex-nazzjonalist. Why he thought that was relevant information I have no idea – perhaps he felt it would make the brown-nosing look more sincere?
[Daphne – Clearly then, he ate shoots and left.]
He could equally have meant eats, shoots and leaves, yes.
My favourite is still “helping your uncle Jack, off a horse” though.
[Daphne – Your liking for that one is misplaced. There should be no comma after Jack/jack in whatever circumstances. The difference in meaning lies not in the punctuation, which remains the same (without a comma) but solely in the use of a capital letter, which changes the nature of jack from part of a verb to a proper noun.]
You’re right, of course, it is about using capitals in the right places and the whole thing is non sequitur.
I would still want to add a pause between Jack and off when saying it though :)
Let us eat, children.
Who were the other candidates in the Category? I think that Pullicino Orlando and Franco Debono are feeling offended.
Well, what does a donkey do when it wants to make itself heard? Bray.
Kemm hi kiesha, qziez, antipatika u kburija biha innifisha.
Ta’ kwazi sittin sena taghmilha ta’ wahda ta’ ghoxrin u tippretendi li hi xi mudella jew xi Miss World.
Actually HE is also an ‘ex-Nazzjonalist’ candidate, way back in the 80s.
Mr Bray is not slow. He is simply – asinine.
What in Maltese is called “hanqa ta’ hmar.”
I think that should read ‘nahqa’
I remember him waiting tables, probably still is.
He also used to be the driver of chauffeured hired cars in his younger days.
Yes , the last time I saw him waiting tables was at SeaBank Hotel, Mellieha.
50 shades of Bray
While roping in everybody in the herd, the Bray(ing) fellow is referring to himself as the ‘ex nazzjonalist’. hee-haw hee-haw
And of course, Marlene has to let the whole world know that she had a glass of bubbly.
Il-vera qisa qatt ma rat xejn miskina.
Dak li qatt ma ra qalziet, l-ewwel darba li libsu h— fih.
And this applies to the whole bunch who think they can run a country this way.
Min jaf kemm Daphne tghir ghaliha tara MEP fil-parlament Ewropew !
[Daphne – Yes, and how, Privitera, you have no idea. All my life I have dreamed of being Marlene Cacciattolo, owning a toy shop, selling cat suits, being in with the Labour Party, then becoming an MEP when I turn 60. I will draw a discreet veil over the rest.]
Mela vera qed jaqghalek ghaliha, Privitera?
It’s ‘dreamt’ Miss Daphne not ‘dreamed’. Get your grammar right.
[Daphne – It is an unwise man who seeks to correct me on such matters, and unwiser still when he doesn’t check first while he is on the internet: http://grammarist.com/usage/dreamed-dreamt/ ]
Wasn’t Bray upset and switched to Labour once the PN government dismantled the funeral services monopoly. I think he was one of two-three operators who had the restricted licence before the funeral service market was liberalized.
Alfred Bray is the attention seeker par excellence. From being an ardent Nazzjonalist who held fund-raising activities in his own garage, he turned into a Joseph Muscat admirer and went on One TV defending their ‘blokka silg’ case.
He is still waiting for his iced bun, which probably accounts for his pitiful comment.
I think it’s clear he fancies Marlene. You know, this is Facebook after all.
I know him. The answer to your question is yes. In a “miskin” sort of way.
I can confirm that he is the “ex nazzjonalist”. He was one of the extreme PN fanatics a while ago. Then for the last general election, have a look at this … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YKH0ph_9lE
Isn’t it time we dropped the euphemism “ex-Nazzjonalisti” and started calling them by their proper name – Fascists?
Fascists are those who kept the BLACK of Mussolini’s Fascist Party in their own party flag !
True. As well as people like yourself for whom the end justifies the means, including tyranny.
Fascists who pose like Mussolini.
The contract was worth €25 million, not €5 million !
Joseph Muscat and the Labour Party dug a grave and the ‘switchers’ (because they’re so smart) fell into it.
Alfred bray ex nazzjonalist what the labour goverment did with this budget the partit nazzjonalista did not do in 25years so how could i not follow Dr Joseph Muscat he is the right Prim Minister to my n opinion and of many thousands others he looks after everyone the poor middle class and even the rich he left no one out may be the only person that was left out was Daphne Caruana Galizias PROSET DR JOSEPH MUSCAT WE ARE PROUD OF YOU GOD BLESS JOSEPH MUSCAT * OUR PRIM MINISTER *
