The incarnation of North Korean ideology.
Hail, Palma tax-Xewk.
Hilarious!
What a perfectly fitting photo! A boat full of pigeon shit and _________________ Help yourselves to fill in the blanks.
OK siehbi, I’ll go first: Il-kakka ta’ Malta.
A rather fattish turkey looking for a place to shit in it.
syringes?
I don’t want to be unnecessarily coarse, but why does Joseph seem so entranced with what looks like a phallus in a condom?
Wishful thinking about the size and turgidity .
He’s standing there looking at a lot of pricks on the wall, while another lot of pricks stand in the road looking at him.
“The Prime Minister, in solemn pose, says a thanksgiving prayer before the Halfway Road Circus monument to the Maltesian Republic’s former emblem.”
So get this. Joseph Muskrat started his speech by mentioning national unity, and that the country should be brought together.
Later on: “Dr Muscat also noted that his government had provided new dignity to the Republic Day monument when it restored it – and increased its prominence – when 13 December Road was reconstructed to allow for the construction of an underpass linking it to the Marsa menqa”.
Is it just me or does he stops practising what he preaches after a mere couple of minutes?
Prim tal-Mickey Mouse. Lanqas minnu stess ma jisma’ ahseb u ara mill-poplu.
He has tarted suffering from stress-related short term dementia.
I am eagerly waiting for the un-adultered Malta Today survey results.
Insejta d-dghajsa, Daphne?
That certainly is Desperate Dan’s dinner fork, used to dig into those mighty cow pies.
Veru qisu qallut, ha la harget.
If Hallmark made Christmas cards for switchers, this would be it.
They can add a banana bunch to the prickly pears, giant spoon and fork and of course the boat.
This proposed addition to the now-defunct republic emblem will perfectly symbolise our (2nd?) republic, with banana Joe at the helm.
He shouldn’t even be there.
That has nothing to do with the Republic.
That’s one stiff that ain’t coming.
Lie back and think of David Cameron.
Well, if the stumpy man has to sup with that prickly god, he’d better use that long spoon and fork.
The Prime Minister is checking the boat for leaks (lijks), the latest word to enrich to the Maltese vernacular.
No, he’s definitely looking at that prickly pear.
They’re soon going to have to change those to chopsticks!
Redikoli u pulcinelli
The monument of the proletariat; erected a few years after China’s Cultural Revolution.
Ara, qed jistenna l-bajtra taqa’ f’halqu.
…as always!
Our prime minister like many of his generation was indoctrinated into respecting this symbol representing Malta, a peasant malta.
One thing which always caught my attention is that’s there is no reference to the intellect on It. Just rocks, spade and fork, the sun and sea and off course il-bajtar. Maybe it’s the humble ‘bajtra’ which represents the progressive Lejbor intellect.
Well said.
At times, one has to come face to face with himself.
Looking at ‘imself in the mirror, right?
That’s not a large dinner fork. That’s a pitchfork. How could you miss that?
[Daphne – Ho hum, there’s always somebody who takes it literally.]
Oh look, they even built a stone trough so can gorge himself. I don’t think he’ll use cutlery though.
Literally? I was just making the connection with your ‘crowds with pitchforks’ you love to descripe the other Malta so perfectly. And it’s all there staring at us in that symbol.
That’s not a pitchfork. That’s a dinner fork. Pitchforks don’t have a ‘flat’ area between the prongs.
The other implement is obviously a toy shovel, like the ones used by children in building sand castles.
Why is the bajtra tax-xewk staring at him?
Jien, int, ahna mahdumin.
Jien, int – ahna mxewkin.
Hamallagni ghax huma hamalli.
Do the Muscats recite the rosary in bed?
No, they hear recordings of gunshots and mobile phone recordings to lull themselves to sleep.
He wouldn’t stand with half the gravitas shown here, if he was standing in front of a memorial of some great human tragedy.
One bajtra looking at another bajtra.
Hail the stone boat that will never float.
Labour – trying to float their stone boat since 1974.
He looks silly staring at a rock. Even Mintoff and Karmenu never stared at this rock.
He is probably waiting for it to tell hm what to do, give him a solution to some other tough decision which he keeps putting off.
He isn’t staring at the rocks, Matt. He’s envying the pricks.
I can’t see the keychain in the picture. Is he in the boat ?
Ifakkarni f’Mussolini quddiem l-“Altare della Patria”.
Jien qatt ma niftakar lil Mintoff jiċċeremonja quddiem il-monument tal-pal tal-bajtar.
Is that a really bad-fitting suit, or has the Prime Minister lost weight the last few weeks?
Do you remember this one?

Where the heck is this so called shrine of cactus plants and bananas?
