Truly unbelievable – grandiose, pompous, ridiculous, and in 12 months he’s set up factories, watched them grow, and boosted the economy
Also, can we stop it with the children, the coloured T-shirts, the Manoel-blinking-boring-theatre (used everywhere in everything by everyone who wants to communicate ‘neshinal prite) and the cliched orchestra or violins?
Catastrophic lack of imagination and total absence of creativity: the quintessential Maltese problem, coupled with that other problem, gross pomposity and total lack of insight and self-awareness.
Imagine visiting factories that were set up and found their markets because of Nationalist government policy (including EU membership you opposed) and portraying those success stories as being your achievement in the last year.
Truly beyond belief. I don’t know how the tal-pepe freshly minted Laburisti who spent the whole of 2012 making it clear they were going to vote for this outfit can get through a whole day without flushing with shame every time they remember how stupid they were.
All I can say is that it’s SUCH a relief to be able to go to a party without hearing a throng of idiots who feel their intellectual powers and hip factor are superior to those of everyone else bang on about how fabulous Joseph is. Now fantastic Joseph is their guilty secret and they’re not talking about it because, maaaaa, it’s really embarrassing.
There are always one or two exceptions, of course, but then they’re the sort who wouldn’t notice if you drove a lorry through their arguments.

Witthout shame he showed a video of a series of the PN’ s successes and made them his. Inadvertendly, Muscat told us how good the PN was to us.
Put it this way, he spent this year running the country with Tonio Fenech’s budget.
It worked.
Unfortunately, many people just believe every word and will regurgitate them ad nauseam in various fora. As mentioned in previous posts, Muscat is once again rewriting history for the many gullible voters who will accept this without question. I can imagine Eddy Privitera taking notes for later use on the online comment boards of our two main newspapers.
He is doing what the PN should have done before the elections – made a video of all their successes yes going back to 1987.
he PN were very laid back in not making people more aware of what the PN contributed to Malta. As such most people took the high standard of living in recent years for granted, Muscat is a good albeit deceitful salesman but that is the way he convinced some people.
Il-Priedka tat-Tifel II.
Complete with the dimples-for-knuckles and the cherubic fat.
How unbaroque.
How much did this rubbish cost ?
So far, one year of our life.
Ratings have been disabled for this video on YouTube. Is Joseph afraid it would get the same treatment as Michelle’s video on International Women’s day?
Typical.
And in North Korea there’s a degree of laughter one must attain during an audience to please the great leader, failure leading to torture. Not kidding.
His suit, shirt and, especially his tie were seen on at least 4 or 5 occasions throughout the video. Quite a gaffe in the video. It seems like the only pre-election promise they kept. Very overdone
It’s as though he got into the suit and tie right from his swearing in and has not taken them off for an entire year.
I suppose the Manoel theatre is an apt location, as the sole star of this video is such a good actor! I am sure some of the new labour supporters will choose to believe this story to alleviate their discomfort with their decision to vote for Joseph Muscat last year.
Gvern tat-Tejatrin.
Ghamlu nies it-Teleprompter.
I do hope that when you go to a party with persons having the “guilty secret” you really give it to them. Please do so, on my behalf.
Because planes suddenly need fuel or develop technical issues while flying over Malta, has the Prime Minister grabbed the opprtunity and taken on a new job, that of a petrol pump attendant? How else could we explain him being at hand TWICE to meet the Libyan Prime Minister? X’kumbinazzjoni!’
‘The former PM was in Malta while in Libya the state prosecutor said he had banned him from travelling abroad while he is under investigation. Zaidan will be investigated for alleged financial corruption and other irregularities, Abdel-Qader Radwan told Reuters and Libya’s al-Ahrar television.
Zaidan also flew unexpectedly to Malta last month while on a flight from Switzerland. It had been initially reported that he had come here for security reasons. Technical reasons were later cited.’ TOM 12.03.2014
So Zeidan was removed the moment he resisted filling a North Korean tanker.
Wonder how that dovetails with Muscat’s Chinese interests in the Med.
Call it passive double dealing.
They can’t even get the Innu Malti right. It’s ‘sahha’, not ‘is-sahha’.
Clearly more interested in the packaging than the content because he had to borrow the content from a different administration otherwise he would have had a rather empty program. Nothing has changed.
This bit really struck me:
“Bdejna nahdmu biex naghmlu Malta taghna art tal-opportunita’, art tal-ugwaljanza, u l-art tal-innovazzjoni.”
How delusional is this man?
Firstly, note that he has dropped the ‘lkoll’ from the ‘taghna’, indicating that Malta really and truly does not belong to all but belongs to ‘us’ – and by ‘us’ he means those people who share the same political colour as the Prime Minister, those people who have appeared on billboards, and the famous switchers. Meritocracy has well and truly gone out of the window. The same can be said for Malta being the land of equality.
Secondly, Malta, the land of opportunity? Where I have I heard this saying before? Seriously.
Finally, Malta, the land of innovation – his only form of innovation has been to prostitute our citizenship to ‘wealthy’ foreigners for a relatively small amount of cash, and by some miracle have this rubber stamped by the EU. Of course, this discounts the incredibly innovative idea of mooring the LNG tanker within Marsaxlokk Bay.
By stark contrast, the economy has continued to run well principally due to a Nationalist government’s budget, unemployment is well and truly on the rise (despite what the prick says), Ministers meet their constituents at PL ‘kazini’, among the so many other scandalous things that have occurred (and been mentioned in the past).
Yes, indeed, Malta the land of opportunity. Pull the other one, Joseph.
Also, 6,000 new jobs in his first six months of government? He’s lying, big time.
For starters, he quotes a statistic published in August 2013. Muscat’s government had barely been in power for four months then, considering that Parliament first met up in April 2013.
Secondly, unemployment is constantly rising, so how can he justify job creation with that figure?
Please don’t tell me that the government is trying to manipulate these statistics in its favour as well.
It’s what he’s doing with the 4% GDP growth figure.
Big government, big spending, jobs galore, of course that figure rises to over 4%.
Deficit out of control, industrial production decreasing steadily, import/export on a slide.
This individual will play with all the numbers he can get. Greece anyone?
What no one argued to the citizenship scheme is how the term investment is now a state administered monopoly. And how this poisons mentalities.
Did anyone notice that the “naghmlu lil Malta l-aqwa fl-Ewropa” has now become “naghmlu lil Malta pajjiz ta’ success”? But isn’t that how Gonzi left it, with one of the strongest economies in the EU?
Oh God, a dinosour named John Dalli (brother-in-law to Helena Dalli) has been given a seat on the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation board.
Fresh ideas and a new way of doing politics indeed! But then there is nothing like being surrounded by the elderly to make one feel young. You know, some get a new convertible or change the wife with a younger version but that would require a certain level of testosterone, others, well …
Watching the video, couldn’t help notice the usual fake style – Joseph Muscat’s convictions consist only of a carefully worded fascist-style speech read off from teleprompters.
But the best bit is when he alternates in speed between trotting and galloping.
I am no equestrian expert. Unlike Frankie Tabone, I was never into ponies.
But I remembered that once a friend had told me that if during a horse race the horse switches from trot to gallop, the horse will be immediately disqualified.
In the XX century the history of Malta started with Mintoff.
In the XXI it starts with Muscat.
That is history for you.
Bla bla bla … nothing else
My husband works there, since 2009, for sure thanks to PN!
The only activity the current PM excels at.
Iboss b’sorm haddiehor.
What cheek! He lies so blatantly. The unfortunate thing is though, that his sheep will believe anything he decides to say. Their level of intelligence is so low that they cannot see through his deceit, which is so obvious to anybody with a few brain cells.
In my opinion he is a very dangerous person, who needs a very strong opposition and good investigative journalists to counteract these lies. But do they exist?
“Perfetti m’ahniex”, qal lejn l-ahhar tal-video, imma l-ikbar giddieb li halaq Alla hu ta.
And he still wears that flippin light blue tie, one year on. Who’s in charge of his wardrobe?
It’s the one he wore to the swearing-in ceremony.
Is LSD still that popular in Malta?
Since I realised recently that it was staring at me in the face, I cannot but see in the face build, movements and general stumpiness of Joseph Muscat an image description which is a hundred percent not politically correct to spell out.
Each clip and photo only serves to enforce it
I wonder what his medical records would reveal.
Not only was his politics influenced by the wealth he inherited from Gonzi PN, but his dress code is also influenced by Dr Lawrence Gonzi himself. Joe now even fills his lapel button hole with what Dr Lawrence Gonzi used to pin to it. Not to mention the cuff links which the expired as well as the progressive Labour used to delight to euphoric heights in demeaning them when worn by PN Prime Ministers ever since the 50`s. A very weak, feeble, unsuccessful effort of wearing suits in a British gentleman`s code of taste, elegance and perfection with properly fitting buttoned jackets.
If I may say so, a typical case of the Prime Minister flogging his dead horses in the race to the MEPs` election. Soon we will be experiencing billboards, tv and radio propaganda. Labour has launched its campaign. This time round it did not start at Radio City but on the media.
