In reply to Jozef.

Do you need financial backing to make a speech?

On the other hand, if the Nationalist Party is in debt to a whole string of bazuzli kuntratturi, plus Arms Ltd., plus its own business interests because heqq mhux illegali li l-legal practice ta’ ufficjali tal-PN jaghmel il-flus mill-passport sales, then I do not expect the Nationalist Party to put up a fight any time soon.

It will just wait for the natural cycle of elected governments to turn in their favour. Say by 2028. By then, Simon Busuttil will have retired from politics and Mario Demarco should walking up those steps in Castille, approaching sixty.

I’ll be long dead by then.

In reply to Jozef. And in this case some serious financial backing.

Maybe it was a mistake electing Simon Busuttil as leader. You need balls to stand up to a bully

Joseph Muscat feels like a big boy in the House of Representatives. That’s because he’s just back from the Summit in Brussels, where he’s clearly the little boy….and that’s not because he’s young (Renzi’s younger and he’s calling the shots) but simply because he’s a non-entity.

Just look up the video of the leaders arriving in Brussels last night: nobody goes up to him; he approaches certain leaders (among them Merkel, with whom, I’m sure, he opened with childish congratulations for the World Cup victory) but nobody seeks him out.

There is documented video evidence that things were very different for his predecessor, who was considered an equal by his peers.

I would tell him bring it on, because we can carry on through right to December recess, while you cancel your September krooz with Michelle.

‘He is an old-fashioned, middle-aged, overweight, inarticulate, paternalist backwater bumpkin who is easily impressed by money and who enjoys collecting people after a lifetime as a social and playground outcast.’

You forgot lying, balding, unattractive, shabbily dressed to mention a few choice adjectives there, but we’ll forgive you.

He really was an non-entity at St Aloysius’ given I – and many others – can’t remember him anywhere close to us.

Question: What does the Prime Minister of Malta want to be when he grows up?
