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

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.

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.
