Michelle Muscat, the First Lady of Malta (jahasra)

There’s a piece in the Nottingham Post, of all places. I suppose that with Mrs Muscat’s catastrophic understanding of protocol, she imagines that because the head of state is a woman and so there is no first lady, the status descends to her, allowing her to style herself First Lady of Malta.

“I also gave her one of my books; she asked for Sleeping Dogs”

A black Nottingham lace collar would have come in handy at the swearing-in ceremony.
Pathetic!
Wow, that’s awesome.
Now when she meets the Queen she can show off and use the common Nottingham greeting and say ‘ey up duck’ Wairza booza?
Then she will turn to Prince Philip and say Ay-up midduk, owya goinonn then serri?
I have a funny feeling you’re confusing Nottingham with Newcastle there mate! That’s more of a Geordie/Tyne slang!
You’re wrong pal.

Forsi bdew jirreferu ghal Edgar…forsi qaleb biex ikun trendy.
First lady? Are we serious?
The wife of a Prime Minister is termed as ‘spouse’ and since the spouse of a Prime is not an elected person her position carries no title.
Prime lady?
Nottingham … Robin Hood … robs the rich to give to the middle class. I think.
Robs everyone, I would say.
No, robs taxpayers’ hard earned money to pay lill “tal-qalba”.
SPOT ON
Robs the poor to give to his klikka
Maid Michelle Marian Muscat of Malta.
Unmade would be more appropriate.
Robs everyone (because he deals secretively and doesn’t want to publish the contracts) to give to finance the election campaigns of the MLP ….. and to give to himself and his chosen few
“The First Lady has now asked Kelly to represent British people living in Malta at the Independence Day celebrations, in September, and at the annual meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government in 2015.”
WHAT?
Is Michelle Muscat, a woman without a government post or any sort of official job, now issuing invitations to national and international events?
Michelle Muscat has no place at a heads of government meeting, so what makes her think she’s entitled to invite anyone to represent British residents, or anyone at all?
Now that’s probably really screwed it up with the British Residents Association.
Kelly will be without a BRA support.
X’hamallagni.
It’s the attraction of the species presumably.
How nice! The British Residents’ Association is terribly working class. Now they will have a representative to match, plus a First Lady who can ‘look the East End in the face’. Because she’s never know any better.
Hooray, and up she rises!
She the Farce Lady of Mowltar.
Oh – but she does have a government job. She does something at the Office of the Prime Minister; we’re just not sure what.
Is it just me who’s had it up to here with all the fuss about women MEPs?
Women shouldn’t be held back because of their gender but neither should they be put on a pedestal because of it. The whole point of gender equality is that gender shouldn’t matter.
I find the attitude taken by the press totally regressive. They have lumped Roberta Metsola and Marlene Mizzi together simply because they have the same genitalia.
Depressing.
Roberta Metsola is a successful lawyer and politician. Marlene Mizzi ran Sea Malta into the ground and has been the worst performing Maltese MEP since being elected (there are statistics to prove it).
Mizzi’s election is neither a victory for Malta nor for womenfolk. She is as thick as they come. I would have much rather seen Francis Zammit Dimech or Norman Vella elected, not because they are men but because they are better.
My first two votes were for Helga Ellul and Roberta Metsola. It had absolutely nothing to do with their gender. I voted for them because they are the right kind of people for the job. Miriam Dalli and Marlene Mizzi didn’t get a look in, not because I hate women but because they are inadequate.
Lumping women together like this puts Helga Ellul, Miriam Dalli, Agatha Barbara, Daphne Caruana Galizia and the Queen of the United Kingdom all on the same level. I hope everyone realises how ridiculous that is.
We don’t talk about men as if every man represents all men. We say David Casa is a true believer in the European project. Alfred Sant is a rabid Euro-sceptic. Joseph Cuschieri is dumber than a sack of rotting potatoes and Norman Lowell looks as European as a spice vendor in a Moroccan souq called Youcef.
Alfred Sant doesn’t represent me because he happens to share the same gender more than Robert Mugabe represents Barack Obama because he happens to share the same skin colour. We have different ideas and beliefs and THAT is what matters.
Please, let’s stop talking about women MEPs like it’s a big deal and let’s start talking about what MEPs’ (gender irrelevant) track record, what they are proposing to do and what they believe in.
From the article:
About the Prime Minister:
“…You see him in the newspaper and on the TV all the time…” So true! So annoying!
“…you don’t really expect a Prime Minister to be into crime novels…” So that’s where he gets his inspiration!
About the First Lady:
“It was really weird she wanted to talk about me.” So VERY weird, usually Mrs. Muscat speaks only about herself!
“…said Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is her favourite film.” Wow, so deep, so cultural.
“The First Lady has now asked Kelly to represent British people living in Malta at the Independence Day celebrations…” Wow, a “Top Valley Comprehensive School” girl representing the local British population. The British must be ecstatic!
‘We had a lovely tea together and she rolled out the china’
Royal Doulton borrowed from Mrs Bucket presumably.
‘because she knew I liked a cup of Earl Grey’
Oh God Kelly not you on Earl Grey. Don’t you know it turns sane people into babbling idiots.
‘and to have a fan in the Prime Minister.’
My dear girl, if you only knew the type of people the Prime Minister is a fan of you wouldn’t be so pleased. They range from sentenced criminals to back stabbers and demoted Commissioners.
I’m not surprised Michelle’s favourite is Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.
The Prince of Thieves surrounded by Men in Tights.
“She said Nottingham was a place she would really like to visit. She particularly wanted to see the Contemporary, Council House, Nottingham Castle and caves.”
Our self-appointed First Lady must have Googled Nottingham before their meeting.
She could at least have mentioned the university there.
Thank God she didn’t ask to meet their famous sheriff.
I checked my childrens’ social study books and I didn’t find any reference to a first lady in Malta…but I found many references to a fat lady.
No this is the Wicked Land of the West and all Malta knows who the first lady is :)
I am sure that Kelly knows that Mrs Michelle Muscat is not the First Lady. Or did she say that with a sense of humour.
[Daphne – Why would she know? She’s an English hamalla, and the British don’t have a president or a first lady. Their head of state is the monarch.]
English hamalla I’m not too sure. Very unaware of Maltese politics and society – definitely.
[Daphne – Most definitely an English hamalla, even if the other details like her first name didn’t tell you that in the first place: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130927/local/-I-m-the-write-person-to-put-Malta-on-the-map-.487895 ]
She’s an English hamalla – you can say that again. And worse still, one with a superiority complex. If anyone could be bothered, it might be worth checking her ‘credits’.
I can’t tell who’s the more pathetic person: Malta’s “First Lady” or the writer. Fancy that, gushing over Michelle Muscat.
‘She thought my accent was amazing’
D ferst lejdi who loves cincerbred men and tinks d ketlik cerc has been holding bek Maltese women would aspire to a Mitlents exint.
I think that Michelle must have found out the Robin Hood legend took place in Nottinghamshire so she naturally decided to say Robin Hood is her favourite movie. Google must have been very busy before her meeting with Kelly
Ah what mutual admiration between her and the Prime Minister! The invitations to represent British residents etc. seem like an iced bun to me if twitter is anything to go by…

I really like our PM in Malta. Taking an interest in politics is only something I’ve done since coming here to live. #muscatsmalta

Very excited to be having tea with our first lady on Tuesday!
Kelly Vero @electricgeisha · May 15
So I’ve decided on an outfit for the meeting with the PM on Tuesday but…. will I actually *wear* it? Or will I change my mind?
Oh, OK…
“My first ISBN number ”
So what’s her bullshit about being a writer?
“I really like our PM in Malta. Taking an interest in politics is only something I’ve done since coming here to live.”
No wonder she’s impressed by the Muscats and doesn’t find it strange that Michelle Muscat issues invitations to national events when she has neither the position nor the authority to do so.
Did Michelle Muscat also explain that her other favourite book is 50 Shades of Grey
What a couple.
One pulls out all sorts of garbage out of the skip and the spouse sucks up all the crap she thinks as having class.
One day the carriage will become a pumpkin again, the horses mice and the fake high society will plummet back into the murky depths from where it originated.
