Oh, WHAT a nice picture – Malta’s new EU Commissioner in a budgie-smuggler with Mintoff

Who would have thought it, eh?
1981: Karmenu Vella, Alex Sceberras Trigona and Joe Grima are ministers in Mintoff’s cabinet, and Merilwees Coleiro is secretary-general of the Malta Labour Party
1987: we’re screaming and shouting in the streets because we think we’ve got rid of them for good; our cups runneth over
2014: Karmenu Vella is Malta’s EU Commissioner, Marilwees Coleiro is Malta’s president, Alex Sceberras Trigona is Malta’s envoy to the World Trade Organisation, and Joe Grima is Malta’s envoy to the World Tourism Organisation
How stupid certain people were, who should have known a lot better, to vote for this ugly and dangerous mess.

Daphne, what’s the news behind Saviour Balzan resigning from Birdlife and the Ornis Committee?
[Daphne – No doubt he’ll be telling us about it in great and tedious (and ungrammatical) detail tomorrow.]

Karmenu Vella had (has?) a criminal record:

The Times report, 1983:
KARMENU VELLA GUILTY OF ILLEGAL PORT ENTRY

Our very own Captain Jack Budgie.
So how do we make sure the rest of the EU knows about this man’s sordid past?
All members of the European Parliament have e-mail addresses.
Look them up here:

Daphne, you need to start an article asking your readers the sort of questions Karmenu Vella needs to answer at his grilling.
Give. Me. The. Grilling. Now.
This will be fun.
Marie Louise Coleiro from 5.52 onwards.

Shocking and irresponsible. The EU Commissioner will represent Malta in the College, which is still to be set up following the appointment of the President of the Commission.
Once we have a Commission President he will look around to give portfolios according to the abilities of the nominated Commissioners. What is the expertise of Karmenu Vella, can we expect an influential portfolio or will he be given something like Multilingualism? Can we make any contrary arguments if he is handed such a portfolio?
“Multilingualism”? What are de languages dat he speaks? Does he know a thing or two about multiculturalism, multilingualism and language planning?
Very smart.. I’m sure he’s going to have this photo in his office in Brussels.
He won’t get to have an office in Brussels. He will fail the hearing and shame us all.
That Socialist runt Schultz will make sure his buddy Joseph’s appointee is made Commissioner. Mark me.
That’s the first thought I had too, Baxxter.
Who knows where Schultz will end up is the question really.
I guess that Karmenu Vella will soon find out that it’s one thing getting sunburnt under the Mediterranean summer sun on a boat with Dom Mintoff and another thing getting grilled in the European Parliament in Brussels, where this picture is likely to raise a few eyebrows.
What was the occasion when Karmenu Vella suffered a bout of dementia?
That Karmenu Vella looks like a full-time homosexual in that photo with Dom.
Being homosexual is not an insult, mind you homophobe.
If Il-Guy gets through the grilling then the EU can go to hell.
Does anybone have the a copy of The Democrat or In- Taghna reporting the spectacular entry of Karmenu Vella and John Dalli MLP’ yacht into Ghadira Bay and unloading smuggled goods near the Tunny Net?
Media Link does.
Ma nafx Daphne, ghal li jista jkun, ma ghandekx xi taghrif jekk ramax xi senter, barzakka, suffara, u tape recorder hux ? Nghid ghalija imdorri narah daqqa fuq naha u daqqa fuq in naha l-ohra u ma niehu xejn bi kbir.
Jack Sparrow in budgie smugglers.
Do you know why Karmenu Vella was selected as European Commissioner designate? The mayor of Birzebbugia or Marsaxlokk will be elected to parliament when Karmenu resigns.
very good point
