President Merilweez (who’s not one for ceremonies) chooses her body doubles to sing at her six-hour inaugural ceremony

Kim Jong-Un insists that his courtiers have their hair cut to match his. President Merilweez has chosen singers for her six-hour ceremony who are her exact height, size and shape. The one with the hat could almost be President Merilweez herself.
What is this – some fresh manifestation of megalomania?

You two solemn drummers at the back! Smile! That is an order! You are on Candid Camera.
Missing from the picture: Armed Forces Minister Manwel Mallia. Would be like Tom Jones with his backing vocals.
This is all about the people she knows are steeped in Maltese culture of getting paid for when your services are required. Gone are the days of pocketing the Queen`s shilling and being On Her Majesty`s Service. Next time round maybe they will be singing to the tune of the British Grenadier played by none other than the Armed Foces of Malta.
Maltese culture in the making Jason. The old, the recent and the present. The future beckons, Mintoff used to say on Jum il Helsien.
Those singers are Catherine Vigar, (from Gensna) Chiara and Mary Rose Mallia
Instead of, as protocol dictates, Collegium Musicum (the co-cathedreal Gregorian choir) we have Mary Rose Mallia. Qabza ta’ kwalita’!
God, how I hate that figure type. Relatively ‘slim’ legs and then a huge upper body. Top heavy.
Nittama almenu li meta jkantaw l-Innu Malti ma jimprovizzawhx bhal kantanti stabiliti ohra li m’ghandhomx idea tat-taqsiniet tal-kliem. Nittama li jsegwu score muzikali jekk jaqraw muzika.
Band of Hamalli training for D-Day?
But there again, had it not be for the hamalli hooligans, D-Day would not have been won by the right side.This is historically and scientifically proven. Do you think you can win a more by a bunch of tal-pepe’?
The lack of elegant writing insults the good people who stand up to be counted when evil abounds.
A more articulate saying from George Bernard Shaw to the affect — ‘good people sleep easy at night because rough men protect them’
If i may relate a personal anecdote about one man on D-Day – an Irishman who at the outbreak of war in 1939 was in a Seminary – come 1941 his conscience told him to walk out of the Seminary, sail to the USA and join the 82nd Airborne Regiment. During the first days of D-Day he was behind enemy lines doing what he believed to be right. The only holidays he ever took were to the islands of Malta and Gozo. After the war this man went back to the Church and I had the great honour of having Father Manning wed my first wife and I in 1979.
Please think twice before calling such a man a hamali.
You need to catch up on six years of comments. It’s the singers and whoever made them sing at this kitsch-laden coronation ceremony that I was calling hamalli, not the soldiers. The “Band” was a reference to “Band of brothers”. D-Day is the day of the ceremony.
Do I have to deconstruct every remark?
