Keith and Joseph backstage at Hal Far

They look like they’re about to face a firing squad. As for the rest of us, that’s all we needed to see: the cause of all this commotion – Keith ‘Corrupt Criminal’ Schembri – still glued to Muscat’s hip and turning the clockwork key in his back.

Which means that Schembri is still going to be running the government if Muscat is re-elected to power on Saturday.

They’re even insulting their own supporters – Keith Schembri is the reason the Labour Party is in the mess it’s in today. He’s the reason that the much-vaunted Labour government with its 36,000 majority collapsed after just four years. He is the cause of all the destruction, the originator of all the corruption.

And Muscat stuffs him back in their faces – at a mass meeting for a general election that they run the risk of losing just because of him, he with his corrupt plots and schemes and avaricious road maps, in which Muscat has been his fully willing partner and facilitator.

As for Muscat’s cynical use of those poor children as political props – my God, it makes me so angry. Just look at their faces. They’re picking up on the tension and are worried as hell.

Instead of protecting them, he pushes them to the forefront to use them for the sympathy vote, as though people are going to be voting for two cute girls instead of for their rancid father.

If their mother were not so ruddy frivolous and chicken-brained, she would put a stop to it immediately, but I fear she actually encourages it.
