In reply to Manuel. the down turn of people in the mass meeting in Bormla is proof that the labour givernment is doing extreemly well, thus making the present situation of cheaper electricity bills more comfortable for people like myself to stay at home and see Joseph on television!!!!!!!!! well done Joseph keep the good work going and let the PN complain as its the only thing they know how to do.

I always presumed suldati tal-azzar was a reference to the shipbuilding industry. Azzar=steel. Your average Maltese would have said ‘suldati tal-hadid’, which technically speaking is incorrect because ‘hadid’ means ‘iron’.

Of course, the Bormlizi would not understand such trivialities, but I always took it to mean that the ‘azzar’ had nothing to do with their spirit or resolve, rather, their social status – because of the job they were constrained to do for the rest of their lives, by their master, Dom Mintoff.

Were he still around, he would today call them something like ‘suldati tal-unknown father’, and they would clap and cheer because ‘unknown father’ sounds like ‘unknown soldier’.

Insomma, mhux xorta? Xi haga hekk.

Alfred Sant seems to be delighting himself in the probability that Joseph Muscat’s success in winning his consecutive second election would be same as his.

All I could see was a lot of fat arses and bulging tummies a la Maltaise, all put to shame by Manuel Mallia’s big-bang-style expanding proportions in the X and Y dimensions.

“Dr Muscat said he can understand how some people may be hurt and planning to abstain, but he implored all Labour supporters to come out in force and vote for all of the Party’s candidates.” – The Malta Independent

Already? It’s been a year, and he’s already delivering that line? It wasn’t until 20 years later that the PN started worrying about that.

Is he panicking or is he bluffing?

Cheap scum.

It’s ashes to ashes for everyone.

If they sign this one in they have just got to lead by signing up for it first.

Oafs swearing solemnly before the Attorney General.

No backing out.
