Not such a leader zaghzugh anymore, I see

This photograph released today by the Department of Information shows our man Joseph looking much the same age as Angela Merkel. And she may be a fair bit older, but it looks like she’s a whole lot tougher in the cold, while Joseph’s mummy has made him wear a woolly scarf and wrap up warm.

Which brings me to the scarf itself. If a man must wear a scarf on an occasion like that (he shouldn’t really), then it should be folded very neatly, one side slightly overlapping the other, into the neck of his overcoat. What he’s done there is tie it like a large, long and woolly cravat and it looks dreadful.

Muscat Merkel

    Lapelicide.

    Expect more of the cravat. Frills and all.

    It’s been “designed” and drawn.

    Perhaps his friends do not stock thermal underwear.

    She is proud to meet one of the cloned Mussolinis.

    The boys from Brazil created several of them.

    A thermal vest would have solved his problem.

    In his own words, PM Gonzi respected the Leader of the Opposition more than he does.

  7. Salvu says:

    Merkel asked Muscat about his predecessor, and Muscat tried to make fun of his successor. Merkel clearly did not appreciate the “joke”, and concluded their “private” conversation with a word of advice without giving Muscat the opportunity to reply.

    Clearly, Merkel respects Gonzi a whole lot more than she respects Muscat.

    Your column this morning.

    ‘..This is not just because Angela Merkel is the sort of woman she is, immune to flattery of that nature as otherwise she would not be where she is now, but also because, in behaving that way, Joseph Muscat immediately slots himself onto a lower rung..’

    And so Kenneth’s discarded, so much for Malta’s rich history.
