I never blew anyone to smithereens. I would need a firearm (I’m not a kaccatur) or explosives (I’m not a dilettant tan-nar).

I never regarded political support in terms of “lealtà” or “fiducja”.

You seem to think I should have tender feelings or some kind of warmth for the politicians I vote for. I don’t.

I know they’re in it for themselves. They care nothing for you or me.

I vote based on the proposed end state. In 2003 I was for EU membership so I had no choice. In 2008 I was for continued EU membership so I had no choice.

In 2013 I was against a Chinese power station so I had no choice. Now that both parties propose the same end state, there is no reason for me to support either of them.

I will never form my own party because I have no wish to make a fool of myself by scoring some 0.001% of the vote.

Of course you do, just as you deny me the right to be who I am, what I am, and what I think, for I can only be who and what YOU say I am.

Fortunately, not the whole of the thinking minority have this superior quality.

Perhaps it hadn’t occurred to you, but while you deny me the right to put words into your mouth, you want to carry the right to brand people however you fancy (and of course, getting it wrong most of the time).

But you’re the superior “thinking” one.

H.P. Baxxter, there can never be a right party for people like you with your wit and superiority. For today you’re exalting Busuttil, and tomorrow you’ll be blowing him to smithereens in less than 140 characters at his first veer off the track you’ve set out for him.

You’d have much less hearthache were you to set up and head your own party. Heck, I’d probably vote for you myself. But try to include less people like you, for there can only be one H.P. Baxxter in any one setup.

I deny you the right to put words into my mouth.

I want a government for everyone, not for the minority. But the minority must be included, or the Nationalist party will suffer another crushing defeat at the polls.

That’s why we have no less than three English-language newspapers, fifty years after independence. Perhaps it hadn’t occurred to you.

Labour know this, which is why they cosied up to the likes of Hugh Anastasi.

Now go back to your Stamperija, puff your chest with jingoistic pride, and prepare your leader’s resignation speech.

Let me see if I got this right.

You want to elect a government for the thinking English-speaking minority in a country where the majority are unthinking Maltese-speaking Maltese.

I had told you elsewhere that your math is getting rusty. It’s getting worse by the day.

You can always encourage the thinking minority to emigrate to Filfla and declare a republic.

You can keep your undying love.

But for one to “endure” 10 minutes of a 20 minute written statement (“bl-iskop li nkun ċar kemm jista’ jkun”) follow by a 110 minute Q&A, and then come out with all those assertions which one simply cannot make, stinks of chips on shoulders, sore toes, and dull axes.

Simon Busuttil’s style would improve no end if he were to speak English. His thoughts seem to struggle with the limitations of Maltese. It happens to all bright people who have to speak the language.

Lawrence Gonzi had no such problems, because he thought in Maltese. His thoughts fit the language perfectly. That’s why the Xarabank crowd loved him.

It’s time for Simon Busuttil to reconnect the politicians with the thinking minority.

You Nationalists disgust me. Is it not enough that you have our vote? Do you also want undying love?

Absolutely spot on. Too much theatre. Simon Busuttil’s apparently subdued style appeals to the thinking man.

Here’s the link if you want to see it again.

With voters like you, we couldn’t expect otherwise!
