Where’s Everybody? The short answer is: down the rear of Muscat’s boxer shorts

It has to be said that Joe Azzopardi, self-professed champion of the underdog, likes to vote for the victor. I’ll say he voted for the Labour Party in 2013 just as he voted for the Labour Party in 1996 (he did). With all that polling going on, he has a head start on sniffing where victory lies.

And how fascinating to see that Albert ‘Bawzer Hara’ Gauci Cunningham, whose face was plastered all over the Labour Party’s campaign billboards in the last general election, has left his ‘mercy’ job with the General Workers Union newspaper, which he acquired post 2013, and is now editing Malta Today’s stable-mate newspaper.

A journalist on a political party billboard? I don’t think so, honey. What is the world coming to.

The interesting thing is that he calls David Thake a “Nationalist propagandist”. David Thake, at least, is a politician standing for election and hosting a show on the party station.

Where does that leave Gauci Cunningham, the editor of an independently-owned newspaper, who launched his career in journalism by appearing on the campaign billboards and in the campaign marketing collateral of the Labour Party, which led to a job with the newspaper owned by the General Workers Union?

Somebody should break the news to Gauci Cunningham that plastering himself all over the Labour Party’s official electoral campaign, including its billboards, makes him a…..Labour propagandist. Or perhaps not, because he might carry out his ‘bawzer hara’ threat.
