I also believe it is a matter of self-confidence. I do not see our PM confident enough to stand tall. He hunches over, even when standing up.

In body language, that means he is trying to make himself smaller, less conspicuous.

He always arranges his features in a bid to make his face look intelligent and interested. Quite frankly, I do not think he is either. He certainly doesn’t look it either.

Holding oneself well is key in key positions. Even managers and leaders are coached to look more confident. They have to walk the walk and talk the talk.

Re Mario Demarco: I do not like the look on his face when a close-up of him appears on TV whilst he is ‘listening’ to his (and our) Leader, Dr Busuttil, addressing press conferences.

I could very well be mistaken, but Demarco’s facial expression seems to say ‘I am sure I can do a better job than this young man’ – and, probably, so much more than that, too.

[Daphne – That is not the point being made here, Victor. It is not about looking good in terms of biological make-up, but about wearing the proper things, that fit, and holding yourself well.]

[Daphne – I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your comment. Please make it more clearly.]

I have read an article that China can never progress in the long-term since they are not able to innovate or create something new. All they do is replicate what western companies do legally through cheap manufacturing or illegally through the stealing of company prototype secrets. Usually the latter is done through the hacking of the western IT networks.

There is nothing innovative made in China. The ‘made in China’ label indicates a cheap imitation.

Similarly, the MLP and Joseph Muscat, in particular, are the political symbols of a fraud made in China. No wonder there is so much affinity with China.

Everybody seems to grow fat in the wrong places and you are not the exception.

[Daphne – I have exceptionally long legs (and arms, for that matter), balky, and can assure you that crossing them has never been a problem. However, you are unlikely to be privy to that knowledge, and that’s the way it’s going to stay.]
