I will not call it comparing. I understood six months ago that Joe Muscat is copying the old leader. And copying he is – with all the ills this country is facing.

‘HEKK TGHALLEM LI STORJA – Joe Grima
Halli naghtikom ezempju li johrog mill istorja ta pajjizna. Meta Mintoff kecca lil Inglizi, kien hawn hafna ncertezza f’Malta …

Fi zmienu Mintoff zamm sod u finalment rebah lill Inglizi u lill ghedewwa politici tieghu billi ma ccaqlaqx u ma tbandalx. Hadilhom mhux 9 miljuni imma 14 il miljun liri maltin kull sena ghal 7 snin., ghal l dak iz zmien somma gmielha.

Joseph qabad it trieq it tajba. Thank you but no thank you. Smajniekom issa warrbu ghax jistennerw lill Malta hemm Biljun Ewro u dawk ghalina u ghal uliedna. Lill Joseph: Iccedix. Il Maltin ta rieda tajba li jhobbu lill pajjizhom qabel il politika warajk qieghdin.

MAZOKIZMU TAL PRIMA KLASSI (Lou Bondi’s appointment on National Festivities Foundation)
Ma noqghodux naraw illuzjonijiet. Din mhix xi politika gdida. Dan Mazokizmu li lanqas Sant ma wasal ghalih u Sant tilef erba darbiet, tkisser meta seta kien Prim Ministru kbir ghax intelligenti daqsu s’issa qatt ma kellna , u mieghu nizzel partit shih.’

Unable to join Net TV again as he did in 1999 before returning to Super One in September 2009, Joe Grima is with his broad back to the wall.

Joe Grima, the former Labour Minister, resigned from his One TV programme Inkontri and Joseph Muscat accepted his resignation stating that ‘Joe Grima is not the face of the Labour Party’

Joe Grima tries to suck up to Joseph Muscat in the hope of being provided with some kick-back from the public coffers while re-writing history (Mintoff kicking the British out is just one myth repeated frequently in the hope that it will stick).

The present MLP government’s love affair with Joe Grima lasted a few short years. The man is often foul-mouthed and difficult to defend and his latest ‘slip-up’ made it easier to shed the ballast.

Ergo, Joe Grima is history.

Yepp, they called the old man a traitor. They now seem to be comparing the young one to him.

Muscat won’t be able to call Mintoff a traitor on this account and Mintoff is no longer around to accuse the LP prime minister of abandoning his socialist credentials.

I thought they buried that old bastard on the upper left.

People back then thought it was just a PR stunt and a “keep the peace and be nice to the 90 year old” stunt. However I distinctly remember thinking that it was a lot more significant than that.

Then the golden-years champions came back.

Then the brainwashing and hysteria came back.

Then the undercutting and left-footing came back, along with the bullying and the threats.

Today we are lumped with a bunch of idiots who seem to have no problem sending the poor and the desperate and dying back to where they came from, while at the same time handing out our passports to the rich in a scheme I don’t even think they came up with themselves but were given it by the Chinese, or some other “lateral thinker”, or both.
