Oh no! Cameron doesn’t fancy Joseph…

Published: October 27, 2014 at 8:21pm

Take a note, Prime Minister: never ever ever chase a man who doesn’t fancy you because it’s not going to make him fancy you back.

Just look at the expression on David Cameron’s face, and the way he’s holding himself. He doesn’t fancy you, Joseph.

You’d think the government’s Department of Information would police its photographs before releasing them to the press, but they probably just see ‘Muscat with important man’ and put it out.

David Cameron and Joseph Muscat

    Tolerance is a virtue.

    Cringe-worthy. If he spoke Maltese he’d be thinking “Miskin”.

    • vanni says:

      He’s probably thinking:

      ‘Oh no, it’s this what’s his name with the boy crush again. When is this bore going to realise that he isn’t even amusing. I’m through paying polite attention to him, as this seems to encourage him. From now on, I’ll do a Merkel, and ignore him.’

  3. SM says:

    Damn, it’s the Maltese stalker.

  4. Joe Fenech says:

    That’s because in many aspects Call-Me-Dave is similar to il-Bamboccio.

  5. ciccio says:

    Who is the man in the middle? He is telling Muscat, rather impolitely, about his chances with Cameron.

    “Oh hi David ! I’ve lost my homework again, I was ummm… wondering whether you could umm.. come and help me redo it”

    At least Joseph can try to emulate David Cameron’s plummy speaking voice.

    The one in the middle is Xavier Bettel, Prime Minister of Luxembourg. He is the first openly gay prime minister. He has a long-standing partner.

    He succeeded Jean Claude Juncker when the latter’s party failed to win the elections after decades in government.

  13. curious says:

    What does this mean exactly?

    “In his address, Mr Vella, who is 64, said that one never knew what the future held, and thus refused to state that his parliamentary career is over. Instead, he simply said that this would be the speech marking his resignation during this legislature.”

    • Kavallier says:

      It is the equivalent of a cross between Schwarzenegger’s “I’ll be back” and Stallone’s “I’m your worst nightmare”.

  14. l-ispizjara says:

    It seems like Xavier Bettel fancies him though.

    [Daphne – Yes, he’s registered him on his gaydar.]

    Malta’s reputation internationally is MUD. Go anywhere on the planet and the minute you mention Malta the words that come out are Money Laundry, Tax Evasion, Gambling, Fraud, Corruption … over and over again – everyone has heard about Malta and its always the worst of the worst.

    As for Malta’s credentials as a European country – we joined and promptly and consistently betrayed every principle on which Europe was built. If 10 years of EU membership has shown is that we are not Europeans.

    This is what our Dear Leader needs to learn. They are not snubbing a small country – they are well informed of who is their midst.

    • Tabatha White says:

      Voilà.

      This is what I mean.

      Malta doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

      The actions of Keith Schembri Kasco, “Ryan,” Joseph Muscat and their dirty financing schemes have reached far and wide.

      It was visible in Malta a whole year ago and the international scene had already got it in August 13.

      The grape vine moves faster than Super One.

      Funny that Luxembourg should come under the spotlight in this way.

      Two countries concerned with Financial Services, getting Prime Ministers with similar short stubby finger lengths.

      And David Cameron keeps the length of his fingers in his pockets.

      Very interesting.

  16. Disillusioned says:

    Maybe Mr Cameron finds Muscat’s inglixx humerr amusing.

  17. Challie says:

    I don’t doubt you’re right but just by looking at the pic is a bit of an over-interpretation.

    [Daphne – This is a satirical piece.]

    “…and I had nothing to do with it, Dave, honest, it was Cyrus, the prince just couldn’t get enough of him.”

    He’s making a fool of himself cracking a dirty joke but no one is amused. Then someone at the back says, ” why don’t you piss off ”

  20. Artemis says:

    Looks like the senior boy and his fag.

  21. sarah says:

    Oh my that look on Cameron’s face says it all!

  22. Ju! says:

    What is it with most Maltese leaders that seem to need to smile constantly?

    I guess it is their mechanism to try to look confident. Unfortunately Gonzi used to do it at times, as does Busuttil. I hate it.

    I way prefer a serious, determined look as Fenech Adami had.

    After all, when one’s business is about things like neighbouring war, terrorism, recession and running a country, the least I would expect from any prime minister/representative is to hold a serious expression whist interacting publicly. Busuttil advisers take note.

  23. Zunzana Blue says:

    Just look at our own Joker – great posture.

    Leaning to one side, resting his weight (and by God there must be a lot of that) on that chair while gesticulating with the other. The typical “ghand tal-kazin niehdu drink u nghidu kelma” attitude.

    In this picture he’s so lost listening to his own blabbering that he completely fails to notice a) Cameron’s perplexed “get me out of here” look, and b) Xavier’s bewildered “I think he’s gay too, but what’s he on about?” stance.

    After a deeper look at the picture, I can’t help but also notice the clean look of both Cameron’s and Xavier’s hair. It definitely implies the use of non-greasy hair styling products such as wax. On the contrary, our Joey seems to be stuck in the era of cheap, greasy hair gels, even though there isn’t much hair left to keep in place.

  24. Galian says:

    “Is this really the best the Maltese electorate could do?”

  25. C.Portelli says:

    I’m sure that with the £1.7b love letter he has just got from the EU, the last person Cameron wanted to see was his Maltese counterpart.

  26. Numerus says:

    Seems as if Joseph Muscat left such a good impression on David Cameron that he convinced him on the burden sharing concept :

    Cameron: “No, I already have a passport, thank you.”

    Muscat: “I can give you a discount – nice quality, very cheap.”

    • Thackeray says:

      Actually ‘Dave’ might be thinking a Maltese passport could come in handy…. you know, for when the UK leaves the EU.
