Daphne, I watched Simon Busuttil on Dissett tonight and he pulled off one of the most convincing performances in the last three years. Joseph Muscat’s blunders are making him stronger and stronger.

Toni Abela’s performance is pretty good by Maltese standards. All the devices he employed are part of the standard Maltese repertoire: the theatrical facial expressions in lieu of words, the nifsijiet tat-telenovelas to indicate contempt for a question, the familiarity, the laghqizmu, the name-dropping, the personal relationship with the Prince of Malta, the laughing away the Southern Mediterranean peasant behaviour, the assumption that because one is Maltese, one must be totally unsophisticated, the pride in one’s low breeding, the catastrophic accent, the “heqq”, the notion of “political beliefs”, the notion of criticism as treason, the bullshit about how audit reports (yawn) are “inspiring” (laghqizmu), the bullshit about political careers as some kind of martyrdom for the people, the hand on the breastbone to highlight one’s deep and Southern Mediterranean passion, and the general potato-shaped theatrics.

In reply to Julian John Ebejer. Why are we not surprised? Toni Abela is incapable of stringing three sensible sentences together. His forte is spluttering incoherence.

Labour are nothing more than a criminal organisation supported by feeble-minded individuals who pay them votes in return for services and jobs. We’re lucky they haven’t gone around killing snitches and deploying their thugs to go rustle a few feathers.

Muscat was raised in a rural hamlet, not even a village.

Wiki them and you will know why one was accepted and the other was not. Ergo my first statement. The fact that Karmenu Vella is there is why I was losing faith, my third statement.

This is highly unethical and amateur of our scheming government.

Toni Abela was rejected because he is not qualified, in any respect, for the post in the European Court of Auditors.

What a disgrace.
