Chris Cardona and Edward Zammit Lewis – how very Golden Years
The King of Lapdancing and Elena Bagollu’s husband gave a joint press conference today and had to face questions about the bad press their ‘sale of citizenship’ scheme has had right across the world.
Their reply? “It’s because of the Opposition’s campaign against it. The Opposition is tarnishing Malta’s reputation abroad.”
Two observations: 1. they haven’t a clue how journalism and the media work in the real world outside Malta, and how stories take on a life of their own and slip beyond the control of governments and their image consultants; 2. they must really be cut off from reality if they imagined that an EU member state can announce that it is selling citizenship for cash with no strings attached, with full access to the rest of the EU and visa-free travel to the United States, and normal people in the real world won’t gasp and think it weird and eminently reportable even in Boulder, Colorado and Vietnam.
The idiots are in charge.

Decades in Opposition and they still can’t think of a something different. When is this country going to see some serious debate about world politics of which this is part?
It seems we may have the Foreign Interference Act all over again. Last time it was introduced 11 years after Labour came to power – this time possibly within 1 year?

Dawn il-boloh minn ghalihom li jekk issir zibel fix-xalata tal-festa hadd ma jsir jaf barra r-rahal. M’ghadekx fir-rahal, buffu.
Googling “malta verkauft” (Malta sold) results in at least 100 links on the subject to news websites in the German speaking world alone.
The further we get into this legislature, the more prophetic the “send in the clowns” incident becomes.
Put a beggar on horseback and he will ride to the devil.
Not that we had not been warned by a previous MLP Prime Minister that the MLP was ready to form an alliance with the devil if it was necessary, That past expression of intent is being put into practice today to our great shame.
Weren’t all the ministeries’ PRO’s sent to London for training? Now we need to see if the training money we paid was worth spending.
These guys really speak out of their arses, excuse the expression.
Do they really think that the world media are writing what the Maltese Opposition tells them? They should really get a life and hide from our vision. Wwhat kind of village mentality do they have?
Amateurs
The idiots knew that their approach would attack the two cornerstones of intelligence and values.
That is why their first visible strategic move was to get rid of the symbols of it within the Nationalist Party in May/ June 2012.
I am hoping to see Richard Cachia Caruana and Carm Mifsud Bonnici given the recognition, importance and respect they deserve in this perspective.
The same mantra was repeated by that upstart Owen Bonnici on Xarabank yesterday
I didn’t understand why “the king of lapdancing”? Excuse my ignorance.
[Daphne – The Minister for the Economy, Chris Cardona, is very keen on lapdancing and is an aficionado of lapdancing clubs. I don’t mean that HE lapdances, of course.]
How predictable. And if the PN were so powerful to manipulate international news, they wouldn’t be in Opposition anyway.
Make way for the charge of the light (on intelligence) brigade.
The new idiot clique is in town.
Imma kemm hasbuna cwiec, dawn iz-zewg zerbinotti! Bhas-soltu taghhom dawn il-ministri Laburisti, l-ewwel jaghfguha u mbaghad iridu jwahhlu f’xi hadd.
What a bunch of amateurs – really, poor us.
What exactly do they expect the Opposition to say under the circumstances – that we feel proud to be selling off our identity?
Every time the Opposition does its duty, they are called negative and now they are also tarnishing Malta’s reputation abroad.
Less than a year ago Malta’s economic performance was ranked amongst the top five countries in the EU. The Opposition then (including Franco Who, J DALLI BA and JPO) were still hounding Dr. Gonzi for the €500 a-week honoraria and the Finance Minister for a bleeding clock.
Mela l-ewwel il-PL jghid li l-Oppozizzjoni rieqda, negattiva, ghada ma ntebhitx bit-tkaxkira etc u issa qeghdin jghidu li l-Oppozizjoni qed taghmel il-hsara lil Malta fl-Ewropa.
Jista l-gvern jiddecidi? VILJAKKI.
Oh so Chris Cardona likes lap dancing. No wonder he is always standing with his hands in his pocket.
