He’s been eating too many Faberge eggs

Just look at Police, Army and Broadcasting Minister Manuel Mallia in this photograph published in Times of Malta today.
He’s so very primitive-looking, like the mayor of some remote Colombian village.
And his manner and thinking don’t help.

“Forty years ago, the world was in crisis. Banks were collapsing, a US president resigned in disgrace, the price of oil had quadrupled.
But in 1974, on the tiny island of Malta, a new world order was taking shape – peopled by little, 2.9 inch plastic figures: Playmobil.”

I’ll get the usual zealots writing in, but here goes: l-aqwa li s-sleaze bil-barka tal-Knisja.
Buddha with clothes and no brain.
Emmanuel Mallia. 120+ kilos of Energija Pozittiva.
More like 250 kilos – he looks like a sumo wrestler.
He looks like one of the eggs himself, although there has never been such a hideous Faberge egg.

There he is.
Clearly, he needs assistance in the toilet. That might be the function of Silvio We Now Know Who He Is.
This is most unfortunate. You might not be aware that the police station is part of a complex with a civic centre, garden and playing field.
Unfortunately thanks to this visit the whole thing is is now tilted at an angle running down towards the police station.
This will not be a problem until the rains return, but it is likely that we will have a flooded police station come winter and it will be closed yet again.
Just missed the cut for the Presidency.
Looks just like he’s going to burst.
Astrid Vella was on DotNet lamenting this government’s U turn on Gonzi’s MEPA reform. The one where ODZ meant ODZ, where sanctioning abuse was eradicated from the authority’s remit.
Sweet. Tell you what Astrid, now that you know what voting AD implies, send a real message to Muscat.
And please stop lumping developers with speculators. Otherwise one is led to believe you’re simply one who needs ‘them’ to carry on indefinitely. Convenient or what.
Perplexed when traffic was mentioned as being the main factor to people’s health, and how we should ‘plan holistically’. If I may, planning implies holistic thinking, alas never once did I hear anyone who proclaims their faith in this country’s living space stick up for the mindset required to combat Muscat’s hedonistic, in yer face take on lifestyles.
He’s transforming himself into Mr Creosote from Monty Python.

It’s difficult to control the rapid expansion of your waist when you’re into catering.
Oh dear, what a shame. How can people like these represent our country?
On a slightly different tack, I keep spying Edwin Bartolo il-Qahbu in the crowd listening to our PM dispensing his wisdom during the EP campaign events.
Just today he was seated behind Cyrus Engerer’s ears. It was on TVM News.
Nice touch, high kless.
How interesting.
So Edwin Bartolo is “in.”
I wonder what the price paid for that is, not was.
L-ufficju tal-parlament ewropej f’Malta qed jaghmel il-kampanja ‘Saqsi u Ppartecipa’.
Saqsi jew staqsi ?
It’s definitely ‘Staqsi’.
Do criminals nowadays pay in Fabergé eggs?
[Daphne – No, but they pay enough to buy them.]
No. You can’t stash Faberge eggs under the mattress.
He swallowed them instead.
There seems to be conflicting information on the “big news” which Joseph Muscat will announce tomorrow as reported in the local media following Joseph Muscat’s speech this afternoon.
The Malta Independent says:
“Addressing a political event at Naxxar this evening, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said that on Wednesday, the government will be introducing a new an investment that will prove beneficial for many families. He did not give any hints as to what this might be.”
TMI then deals with investments in Air Malta in a way it seems this is something different from the “big news.”
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2014-04-29/news/government-to-present-new-investment-on-wednesday-pm-4797661185/
In its biblical style, Times of Malta seems to be tieing the “big news” to Air Malta. However, I have my doubts the two are related.

In am going to make a calculated guess about the “big news.”
I think that the news relates to the export of solar energy. I think that Joseph Muscat has been negotiating with China to install Chinese solar panels on private properties in Malta where solar energy can be generated.
See this article of September 2013.
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2013-09-15/news/malta-will-export-solar-energy-through-chinese-investment-2600370176/
“The agreement reached with a Chinese power company last Wednesday will enable Malta to export energy – solar energy – in the near future, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said this morning.”
I suspect that Joseph Muscat is planning to use the interconnector to sell solar energy during daytime, and buy cheap energy during the night.
Now I am not clear how the families would benefit, but it could be that families and businesses would be asked to rent roof space, or to buy panels and sell units generated to government.
I think that somehow the price of the panels will be paid for or subsidised by China.
Let’s wait and see.

Colombian village?
That’s a compliment Daphne, you are being kind to the man.
Look, his hands could hardly reach each other over his belly.
Could be worse, imagine him in his swimming trunks sitting on a deck chair next to you.
I wonder if anybody has mentioned to the current Mrs Mallia that her looks are very similar to the previous Mrs Mallia’s?
He might squeeze the lemon for its worth, but his general guidelines don’t change.
