Some adjectives used by the journalists from The Malta Independent, the Times of Malta and Malta Today, who covered this tragic farce put on by a dissolute 53-year-old drunkard and a corrupt pensioner with a serious canvasser problem: “strange”, “surreal”, “bizarre”.
Pullicino and Bartolo did not have quite the effect they intended. Context is all, chaps – the last time you tried to pull a stunt like this, you were working for the Opposition and Gonzi was Prime Minister. It’s a little different now.
