In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. It's an uphill struggle with these people.

The car is owned by a leading car importer, Mr Farrugia.

But you should have been able to work that out.

People dropping off packages don’t drive cars like that and they don’t park them at the main entrance.

And employees of the Labour Party aren’t thrilled, take this picture, and upload it on their Facebook page, which is where I found it.

The car is owned by a car importer and not an arriviste.

Forget it.

This is not a mass-messaging blog.

Goodness, can you be any more literal?

Daphne Caruana Galizia — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 17:01:00 +0000

We. Are. Not. Discussing. The. Car.

The car is parked at the main door to the Labour Party HQ.

THAT is the subject here.

Daphne Caruana Galizia — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 14:18:00 +0000

How is that relevant?

We are not discussing the car here.

You either get the symbolism instantly, or you don’t.

There are cross-cultural problems of communication at work here.

This is not about the car. This is about the car outside the Labour Party Headquarters.

You look at that picture and all you see is the car.

I look at that picture, and all I see is the context, and the significance of that context.

In reply to Josephine Borg. Exactly, its a cheap model trying to look like its an F1 contender. Reminds me of the man inside the building.
