   It’s now official. That Frazier is not fit for purpose. Behold the nasal Maltese-English and the “x’ABZ” expression.

     Can you imagine him fighting in Misrata?

     Is the Brigadier related to Tonio Borg? He sounds just like him. There’s a drinking game somewhere in that video – down something whenever the brigadier says “collective eff-a-rt.”

     If anyone attacks our dear Republic, we’re going to just stand on the cliffs, stare our enemies down and talk in a nasal drawl. Then we’d all go for coffee at The Ferries.

     Baxxter was referring to the Director of Defence and not the Brigadier.

       @Snoopy
       Didn’t manage to sit around until the Director of Defence and her chewing gum first time round.

     Truly the judgement of an armchair critic. Where were you, Baxxter? Hiding behind your nom de guerre, presumably, whilst fighting in Misurata againstr Ghaddafi?

     [Daphne – The point is, Mario, that NOBODY from Malta fought in Misurata against Gaddafi, not our director of defence and certainly not our armed forces. We are a neutral country with an army we never plan on using, except to deliver boxes of food from the warehouse to the docks – not even all the way to Misurata itself (leave that to private initiative) because that might not be neutral.]

       Such fine logic, yours. If I had been fighting in Misrata I wouldn’t have been lambasting the Maltese government. My plea to my Prime Minster and his government is to let us – if he really believes all that tripe about Malta sovrana – fight and possibly die for our sovereign country. We’re not all cut out to be engineers and web developers, you know.

   Its a pleasure to note that France and Britain mean business. This should be a positive sign for Malta in its future dealings with Libya. Now that visas are again being processed in our embassy in Tripoli, one has to be more than extra careful. I hope that the people there are on their toes.

   @Baxter

   Frazier is George Vella’s (Labour) niece.

     I wouldn’t have known that. Can’t see anything distinctive in the eyebrows. What with the enormous shades and all.

     [Daphne – Ray Pace failed to specify that George Vella is Mrs Frazier’s uncle only by marriage. He’s married to Mrs Frazier’s aunt (Grima).]

       Oh well. She can be anybody’s niece for all I care. My family pedigree is not exactly stellar. But really. Director of Defence. Who probably can’t tell a Scud from an Exocet (It-Torca or Kullhadd or whatever it was published one to illustrate the story on TEFGHU MISSILI LEJN MALTA. An error illustrating a lie, made believable by ignorance. And not one word from the Defence Directorate.)

   L-aqwa l-collective eff-a-rt. It’s as if P61 has just liberated the whole of Libya.

   Anybody here remember that TV comedy series ‘PT 73’ back in the early 70s?
