“Joseph despair and call an election?” You must be joking.

He is too enamoured of his ‘power.’ Before the election he used to accuse Lawrence Gonzi of being “iggranfat mas-siggu tal-poter.” However, I am sure that, irrespective of the woes that Labour will make Malta go through, the day Joseph Muscat will call an election before he absolutely must, will be the day pigs will fly.

This would lead ‘Joseph’ to despair, call an election and give this country a fresh opportunity as happened back in 1998.

[Daphne – Ah, a Labour stalking-horse. Don’t worry – I’ll take you at face value and interpret your question as genuine. 1. Nowhere in the article (did you actually read the article, given that you have to subscribe?) does it say that the Zahoors are British citizens. Quite the contrary, right there in the first bit that you can read without subscribing, it says that Mrs Zahoor is Ukrainian. If you Google him, you’ll find that he is Russian and that the flat in London is just one of many homes they own in the more expensive parts of Europe. You don’t need to be a British citizen to own a home in London: for longer stays you need a VISA, if you are Russian or Ukrainian, and you don’t need a visa at all if you live as they do, spending no more than a few weeks at a time there. Useful note: the British press describes people with British passports (who are by definition British subjects/citizens) as British. It is not like the Maltese press, in which a Maltese citizen will be described as a ‘Somali with Maltese citizenship’.]
