No, they all have to speak with an accent that has popular appeal, right?

How do you think David and Samantha Cameron speak when they are at home, with their friends, and out of sight and sound of the video cameras?

In reply to Vanni. Joe Grima wants to be one of the exceptions in this 'nation of sheep'. Just figure that out.

In reply to Lara. I love cycling, and I quite like my motorbike, but regard these as loner activities, I 'ride' to be left alone. Never really understood the club fixation behind these activities.

I’m quite a fan of Stina Dabrowski (the interviewer), despite the fact that the worst thing for a Swede to hear in any media is another Swede’s English accent (yes, we are painfully aware of how amusing we sound).

But I never understood her gimmick about the jump at the end of interviews.

I’ve seen her do it with the Dalai Lama, Leonard Cohen and many others and I absolutely love Ms Thatcher’s rapier wit in declining to do so: “..made great leaps forward, not little jumps in studios” – priceless.

Can the prime minister do a little jump for us, please? We would surely love him.

Will not vote for him but will love him for that.

Compulsory viewing for all of Malta, and not just the politicians.

A nation of sheep, with only a handful of exceptions, and most of those are active on this blog.

Now imagine if one has children who are into cycling. Would it not be every parent’s dream to involve them in an activity which brings cyclists and bikers together? Would it not inspire the youngsters to own a Hells Angels jacket and join the err… group.

The activity at the MonteKristo estate would be something to look forward to as well especially if all the infringement notices have been sorted….is the illegal zoo in line with regulations now?

What a wonderful idea from the President of Malta who would surely benefit from watching the clip you posted.

One wonders however if Coleiro Preca’s excuse for jumping through hoops would be that her foundation is getting money from it all.

Every sane persons’ reply would be: But at what cost?
