In reply to Jozef. Not Ratzinger. It has since been circumcised.

“Pisani wrote in his personal capacity”. So that’s all right, then.

Din issa saret il-moda taht dal-gvern. L-id il-leminija twaħħal fix-xellugija.

Wara l-incident ta’ Montekristo id-dipartiment ‘tal-annimali’ jwaħħal fil-MEPA; il-MEPA taħsel idejha billi twaħħal fil-qorti.

L-ewwel ibażwruha imbagħad jaraw fuq min se jitfgħuha. Skandlu bħal dak tal-visas algerini u alla jbierek jiekluha żewġ impjegati — ħadd minn dawk fit-tmexxija.

Uffiċjal għoli responsabbli mill-komunikazzjoni (sic) tal-Ministeru tal-Intern jagħmel kummenti dispreġġjattivi bħal dawk lejn in-nies taħt il-ministeru tiegħu stess, u alla jbierek “il-Home Affairs Ministry” (xi tkun din, Fantażma?) “jiddistanzjaw ruħhom” (x’korrettezza politika dik!) mill-aġir tal-uffiċjal tagħhom.

Il-veru bla żejt f’wicchom biex bellgħuha lill-poplu li riedu jdaħħlu politika ġdida: bla korruzzjoni, trasparenti, meritokratika, bażata fuq kemm taf mhux lil min taf, centru ta’ eċċellenza u x’naf jien.

In reply to Robert.

Perhaps what they’re referring to is supposed genetic stock.

Of “calibre.”

As one certain campaigner, slightly more experienced in these matters than John Pisani, put it, “An army marches on its stomach” (Napoleon Bonaparte). Mr Pisani should also note that morale is extremely poor in a soldier who is hungry, wet or tired.

Dan Pisani kixef dejjem lil min kien jghaddilu l-informazzjoni qabel l-2013. Fil-fatt kollha gew premjati wara l-elezzjoni. Issa hareg b’din biex idahhaq. Ara kieku kien zmien iehor, qabel l-2013, kien jikritika lil gvern u jigdeb fuq dak u l-iehor u jikteb dak li jkunu qalulu shabu. Imma kemm tiflah tkun kretin!! Irrizenja immedjatament.

I would say that this comment belies a deep chauvinistic and sexist attitude.

It appears Pisani thinks that if you are in the army, then the government can treat you like dirt and not feed you properly just because you are an army officer or soldier.

This sort of attitude persists in sexist countries like Russia where officer cadets are severally bullied and treated terribly because that’s what it means to be a man in the army. How horrid.

There may well have been women who went through the same experience and support the complaints. Would Pisani care to share what he thinks of the women in the army as well?

Of balls and sockets. And whose idea was the extensive use of bush?

Blame Ratzinger.
