Not at all the sort of thing a cabinet minister should say

Transport Minister Joe Mizzi was interviewed by TVM news after having been driven in a Ferrari during the charity fundraiser Paqpaqli ghall-Istrina.
“Ma’ l-Arriva tikkompara totalment differenti ghax ma’ l-Arriva ma tasal qatt u b’din wasalt,” he said.
I’m feeling festive today and so shan’t call him names, but I must say that he really deserves a few, and most of them are value judgements on his intelligence quotient, common sense and good manners.
The trashification of Malta…

Festive or not, I’m always in the mood for new vocab.
So: cuntknuckle.
Sounds cooler than *sshole.
Snatchfest.
Illum tista’ tigi moghti Gieh ir-Reppublika ghal kant
Has this guy ever heard of manners, ethics or professional standards? I very much doubt.
Don’t forget: we don’t have people of calibre.
This confirms how willing he is to solve the issues with Arriva and reach some sort of consensus. Its clear that they are trying to ‘solve’ the Arriva problem by taking the easy way out and kick them out of Malta.
Having semi-illiterate like him in politics says a lot.
Should we read into his comment…?
Issa fhimt x’se jaghmel l-ministru flok il-bendy buses ser jibda jwassal n-nies bil-Ferrari hamra ta’ Sandro Chetcuti.
And then there was David Agius, brimming with excitement, saying “il-lajks!” on coming out of a fast car at Hal Farrug. Il-veru m’hawnx minn fejn taghzel.
Yes, I’ve always thought he’s never left adolescence.
Agree he still seems to be a little bit too boyish.
Another genius!
They should call it a day, and pull out. Although Arriva Malta have their faults, they have been in for a rough time here.
So much damage has been done they can never recover their reputation/perception. This comment by the minister himself sums it up.
Moreover they are paying huge sums of money to the unscheduled bus operators daily, in lieu of the bendy buses. There seems to be no solution to this problem.
They should cut their losses and stick their finger to Minister Mizzi.
Diapers and Socialist politicians should be changed often; and both for the same reason.
it’s not his fault; probably something his mother ate during pregnancy is my guess, because dumb like this can’t be acquired.
Yet another person who may be considered to be of low calibre. Perhaps Scicluna was right in that he was referring to the monkeys that have been elected as well as those that have been appointed by his government. Perhaps, he might have even been referring to the prime minister himself.
Proving the point that only tw*ts travel by Ferrari – and the missing vowel isn’t an ‘i’.
F*ck him, he’s a hopeless minister. Does he know that he’s been responsible for public transport for nine months and we’re worse off than we were in March? This afternoon I waited for more than half an hour for a bus at the Valletta terminus to travel to Attard (buses 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55).
X’tistenna minn bicca lavrant li sar ministru.
Does the minister know how much more it costs to travel by Ferrari? Or that people who use the public buses can spend all day travelling on them, in airconditioned comfort, for just 50 cents?
Obviously his Plan ‘B’ is as stuck as the ‘Sale of Maltese Citizenship’ scam. He also appears to have forgotten where oil is located in Maltese waters. He was so sure that as soon as elected, the Labour government would start drilling and finding oil by the tanker-load.
Talking of trashification: Jason Micallef gave an interview to Air Malta’s in flight magazine in his (one) hat as V18 chairman. You might find this accompanying picture hilarious: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/mumv7fza7dmrk7s/W4eJpaZZ-7
This is the same person who when in opposition assured us that once in government he will drill and find oil in Malta and if not he will resign. Joe Mizzi is a joke.
The longer Arriva stays in Malta, the more time it gives the regime and the company with which it already struck the deal to prepare for the take-over when Arriva are kicked out.
The take-over did not happen yet, because this particular company is not fully prepared.
Let them drive their Ferrari. Effing peasants.
Judging by the staple diet of carbon and full extras, yes, peasants is the word.
Weird how Maranello culture in Malta never ventures back to Enzo Ferrari’s most exquisite work.

Listening to the history of each model and the size of those buckets, one can’t help surmise why.
What do you expect of an glorified office boy who becomes a cabinet minister overnight.
He keeps falling of his chair while telling the erand boy how to switch on the copier.
“Bil-Ferrari wasalt”: this joker does not even know whether he is coming or going, let alone whether he arrived.
Goes on to prove that he wants Arriva out.
If I were Arriva I’d pull out of any negotiations immediately, do an MUMN and refuse to have him anywhere near the table.
Joe Mizzi is the reoncarnation of Joe Debono Grech – loud, vulgar and ‘baxx’
Joe Mizzi’s stupidity is so deep that the Mariana Trench is shallow by comparison.
How does this semi-illiterate and inarticulate man manage a ministry that employs so many architects and engineers?
I wonder how he negotiates with oil company directors? I am sure they remain shocked by his stupidity and presumption of being some kind of expert in oil exploration just because in the 1970s he worked for 2 years on a ship as some kind of deckhand.
Joe Mizzi would surely have cut a better figure if he asked the owners of those Ferraris how they made all that money and how much income tax they paid on their earnings.
Please bear with me but this joke is best said (or written) in Maltese.
