The story appears to be some kind of tribute to his erstwhile colleague in the party deputy leadership.

Coleridge used to write whilst high on ‘ice’.
Actually it was opium – and did you know that he is Malta’s first documented drug-addict?
Who, Toni Abela?
Yip. That brings back memories from the 70s and 80s.
Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink.
Toni must be a great story teller. Tell them the one about the ice block and the friendly policeman, Toni.
Oh! That’s been going on for a while. A couple of weeks ago, it was Him-of-the-eyebrows of Alternattiva fame, reading to what I think are the same bunch of children, around three of whom attend Chiswick House School.
The father of one of them used to comment on your blog until around election time – against Labour, of course.
Min jaf jirrakuntalniex lis-storja tas-silga ta’ Hal Safi xi darba.
To be quite honest , Toni Abela has not been the only public figure reading children’s stories on that particular program. The president of the Republic and various public individuals fand mps from both political parties have done so too.
That’s hardly the point, is it, Aunt Hetty.
I think it’s precisely the point. This sort of thing is perfectly normal in Malta. Indeed, woe betide the public official, politician or head of state who refuses an invitation to these Xarabankesque trash stunts.
Xi hlew. Bettijm stori man-nannu Tonin.
He looks like a pervert who’s wangled himself into kiddie heaven.
Actually, before they changed the set, it DID look like perverts’ heaven, with two sets of bunk beds, with some two to three children per bed. Whatever were the parents thinking?
What’s this delusional education about? Kids in 2013 learning that babies or baby animals are brought in by storks? Please help these people.
I can’t get that “now you see it now you don’t blokka silg” out of my mind every time I see Abela.
Maybe he should do magic shows for the children instead
He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children, not with his attitude towards hard drugs.
Poisoning the little ones with words of Mintoffian wisdom.
It used to be indoctrination through ‘il-Brigata’.
Now it’s more subtle through smaller groups and the social media. Seeds of evil, nonetheless.
It’s a parable – just switch ‘iced buns’ for ‘sorra’.
“Mummy, this really weird man read us a story tonight.”
The parents of the children in that TV programme need seeing to.
The parents of the children in that TV programme are probably right now on Facebook, playing at being drunken teenagers at Marrakech or whatever it’s called.
Perhaps this is the new face of the Brigata Laburista. You never know, some soft furnishings may just do the trick to dress the whole thing up and give it a new guise.
Go to bed kids – Willie Winkie’s on TV.
I never watch, but is Super One seriously running a bedtime story reading show for young children, featuring aging politicians of dubious appearance and unfortunate speech impediments? I mean it’s not like the kids have any real idea who these strange looking people actually are, is it?
My stars, it’s surreal. Couldn’t they have asked in some popular personalities the little ones can actually identify with?
If Toninu could not tell the difference between ICE and DRUGS can he now tell the difference between STORIES and LIES ? The rest let the children guess.
Thank God he was not presenting the famous puppets to the children.
Don’t be surprised. This is typical socialist indoctrination: start them young and when they are adolescents, convince them that they are in. Remember the Labour Red Brigade? This time round it is being done in a more subtle way, using a TV programme as an excuse. This is China all the way.
Tuppence populism.
Under this government things are getting from bad to worse.
God deliver us from evil.
