He WAS playing with his phone

memorial service

I wrote in an earlier post that we should be grateful for small mercies: that the AFP camera caught Muscat pretending to take a passionate interest in the order of service not fiddling around with his phone.

But somebody has since emailed to say that he was watching the service on television when the camera suddenly homed in on John Major and Nick Clegg, with you know who sitting next to them, and Muscat was…yes, fiddling around with his phone, clearly sending a text message.

ARANI, MA! I’M SITTINK NEXT TO MAJOR AND CLEKK AT MANDELA’S MEMORIAL SERFISS!!!!!!!

    I think he received a message that he didn’t like.

    I bet he was swearing black and blue that he should have sent George Abela.

    His face is a give-away.

    Mussolini the 2nd.

    Probably he is looking for his the name on the list. And finally noticing that it wasn’t there.

    Who is the pillock doing a duck face?

    By the looks on his face, he must have been reading the front page article on the Financial Times.

    I think Major and Clegg had just shared with Muscat exactly what they thought of his passports-for-sale programme. He was in the act of stamping his feet when the camera shutter clicked.

      Nick Clegg and John Major were engaged in conversation, but they never shared a word with Muscat.

      Were the seats reserved as part of protocol, or did Muscat sit next to Clegg to make Cameron jealous?

  9. Colin says:

    Does he even know who John Major and Nick Clegg are?

    I was watching the transmission the moment the camera caught Joseph Muscat fiddling with his mobile. Actually, I thought someone was calling him from Malta to tell him that he was on live TV, and maybe he should look at the camera and wave hello.

    Phyllis or whatever she’s called had better stock up on face cream to fill that ever deepening furrow.

    What a pout! Fantastic shot. God only knows how upset he is about not being included in the caption.
