What a shame that Chris Packham wasn’t there to see the gay men and women who have voted Labour all their lives prancing about on Palace Square with the US ambassador, a wedding cake and their liberator Joseph Muscat.
Then he would have known what a great democrat and liberal Muscat is, and how Malta is the bast in Europe.
You really have to read the replies to Packham’s tweet.
Here are some of the most amusing:
Dr Musket is obviously a moron of epic proportions.
Is he the leader of the Maltese communists? Tell him a political party lost an election over fox hunting. No don’t tell him!
It’s clear that hunters rule Malta not @JosephMuscat_JM He is just a spineless little pawn for them to use.

Dr Muscat is our very own spineless communist moron. Those three comments really summarise our PM.
Not only is he incapable of delivering what he promised in his electoral programme but instead, he seems bent on delivering what is very evidently a hidden pre-electoral agenda.
A moron of epic proportions. That person knows something.
This is really a bit of an exaggeration.
Jo is not a moron of epic proportions.
He is simply a moron.
When a moron becomes PM, I think he does become of epic proportions. It definitely feels like it, anyway.
As usual, it had to be a foreigner.
Nuri Katz, and now Chris Packham.
I think our government should just call it a day. We’ve had fifty years to learn how to govern ourselves, and we’ve shown we can’t do it.
We can Baxxter, just not with lanzit and small minds.
It’s sad, isn’t it?
Of course we can govern ourselves. It hasn’t all been roses, but PN made a jolly good fist of it for most of the time. By your token most of the world wouldn’t be fit to govern itself, but of course that’s because you’d like to see the Empire come back, isn’t ?
What Empire? It ended officially in 1997. In practice, it ended long before that.
But I see you’re just another another anti-British Maltese “patriot”, who would rather be governed badly by “one of your own” than governed well by a “foreigner”. No, we can’t govern ourselves. Even the NP made a hash of it. What we have now is nothing but a continuation of Nationalist philosophy, if not methods.
Most of the world IS NOT fit to govern itself. It’s not just by my token, but by every yardstick. However, it is up to each country to decide how to govern itself. So the other countries are not my business.
But my own country is.
I suppose you think it will all change once the Nationalists are back in power in 2023. No it won’t.
Yes that does become the Nationalist dilemma sometimes, how can proper irredentisti rule better than Albion if not by setting la perfida as the benchmark?
Fact is, irredentismo, hence the PN, was the result of the ultimate British plot; finance a certain Garibaldi and help unite Italy to sock it to the French.
Honest.
One could say that the best thing that came out of it was Ellis fleeing to Malta to escape Garibaldi as soon as the mille (suldati tal-azzar) landed in Marsala.
But then, it’s Ellis and his photography which inspired Astrid Vella to see baroque and exiled nobility everywhere.
It’s that bad over here.
What this got to do with irredentism?
That we are not fit to govern ourselves is fact. That the last time we were governed with the help of someone else was 1964 is also fact.
That some of the worst shitholes in the world are also some of the most patriotic is fact too.
Some of us voted for EU membership so we could finally see some rules imposed by an outside authority, and standards rise. It didn’t happen.
I welcome Chris Packham’s comment, and I endorse it.
I say there has to be a link with the current state of affairs in the region around us and its history.
There has to be a future, something to work to. I mention it because perhaps Crispi was right.
Isn’t it ironic how the places claimed as territories of influence remain breeding ground for the worst cultural vacuum?
If the Med has to be restored, North Africa remains the issue. Your conclusion to 1964 may well complement the above; as soon as interests ran dry, this place became the ultimate dead end.
Gonzi to all intents and purposes was the one who concluded the Empire’s remit; he removed the shipyards as the national industry, which is why he remains the one individual who’ll take ages to mature in our history.
Times change, geography remains. We need to understand what we’ll face and how adverse it may sound. We’re discussing this in English, good.
Not in the least bit anti-British, but neither am I anti-Maltese. It’s up to us to do the business and not to depend on others to take the responsibilities that should be our own.
A musket? More like a blunderbuss.
I feel sick with anger. Watch it, Muscat – you’re ‘provocating’ every decent person in Malta.
Yes, stop shooting.
There is only so much you’ll be allowed to get away with Joseph . Veru bniedem jaqq
It is in these moments, that I wish we had the Queen as Head of State. Borg Olivier was right.
Yet again, wonderful publicity for Malta. Joe Grima’s going to have an even harder time …
We’d better pop one of these:

‘Dr Musket is obviously a moron of epic proportions.’ Great tweet.
Those evil Nationalists are at it again.
Where is the great Defender of Democracy, Dr. Diva Debono? Where is he hiding? In a cage at home, with his collection of big cocks?
What terrible and embarrassing advertising for our country. Thank you DR Muscat. Hlief twaqqalna wiccna l-art mad-dinja kollha ma ghamiltx.
