Honey, I shrunk the EU Commissioner

Joseph Muscat tweeted this picture – very charitable of him. Whoever stuck him in the back wasn’t very nice, either, even though they have a platform thing to stand on.
Incidentally, this is not a mockery of small people, but an observation of the extraordinary and highly visible rate at which Karmenu Vella is shrinking. He was never that tiny. The change is remarkable.

PES! Keep Helle, shoot the rest.
He’s not. He’s actually standing BEHIND the red platform, his legs are visible that way. Why though would he be standing behind it and not on it?
[Daphne – No, he’s ON the platform. Click on the picture to open it up to full size and you’ll see that.]
Yes you’d THINK that he’s standing behind it because he just looks so oddly short, but you can clearly see his dinky little feet ON the platform.
When I first saw it I thought – PhotoShop. But no, it is the official ‘family photo’ from whatever council meeting they were attended.
You’d think they’d be all sensible to minorities, the vertically challenged and all that.
If Muscat is a socialist then I’m a ballet dancer.
Yes, he is a Baku-tinted socialist.

The lady in front must be half a metre taller.
I wonder if he uses this when he goes to the cinema

He has been just over 150cm ever since I’ve known him.
That is fifty years ago.
He has not started shrinking yet . He will in a few years’ time.
It is just that he is being photographed next to normal European men and women.
That’s all.
[Daphne – No, Anthony, I got a shock when I last stood next to him.]
Imagine Karmenu Vella trying to convey some sort of sense of authority with people almost literally twice his height.
Whoever sees this pic will think we are all dwarfs in Malta.
Why does our uncouth PM from Burmarrad always pose with his legs wide open. Is he trying to suggest that he’s hung like a stallion, or does he just need a year’s supply of 123 powder?
I’d opt for the 123 powder. Hung like a stallion? Ha ha ha.
His wife probably washed him in the washing machine on high heat and poor Guy shrank.
