Il-Guy, he was okay.
We lose him now forever.
EU, they take him away.
They know he’s very clever.

At Maltais Annus, Guy, my friend.

[Daphne – His backing in the EP elections didn’t help your wife much though, did it.]

Catcalls for Il-Guy.

Karmenu Vella is now known officially as il-Fall Guy.

“From tomorrow, Karmenu Vella il-Guy starts serving a 4 years prison sentence in Brussels. But he has not been convicted and the jury is still out on whether this is the type of prison sentence he deserves. The fossil from the anti-EU Socialist governments of the 1970s and 1980s will be sitting on the new Juncker Commission. Mr. Vella, of Tunny Net fame, will be netting tuna issues as Commissioner for Fisheries, Maritime Affairs, and the Environment – policy areas where he clearly showed no competence during his grilling by the EP committees.

In his concluding speech in Parliament yesterday, where he spent the last 38 years doing very little, he expressed no regrets for the shameful Golden Years when he was Minister under Mintoff and KMB iz-Zero.”

We heard it (only after the election, mind you) from Varist and Muscat himself.
