Joseph Muscat – about as original as a fake Burberry umbrella

You can tell The Iron Lady is on at the cinemas right now. Watch this footage of Margaret Thatcher arriving at Downing Street after her election as prime minister in 1979.
Then watch the second clip (trying to ignore Joe Debono Grech if you can) with excerpts from Muscat’s homily last Sunday.
An important note: Thatcher said specifically that she was quoting St Francis of Assisi. Muscat presented those words to his immediate audience (his wider audience recognised the source immediately and thought him a fraud) as his own.

No wonder Labour is all-out against ACTA. They keep using the intellectual property of others without acknowledging it. Reminds me of the novel concepts of “living wage,” and the “human recession.”

Margaret Thatcher’s first speech! I don’t remember the content (being only around 11/12 at the time). but clearly remember us all in the “loggia” at Nanna and Nannu, with Nannu getting all het up at us not wanting to watch it on (black and white) TV, because it was “history in the making” (ie, Britain’s first woman prime minister).
That memory is the main reason I made my children watch Obama’s swearing-in ceremony a couple of years ago – and, at least, they still remember the significance of that day.
I remember the funeral of JFK, I was three at the time, I don’t know how it stuck to my memory but no other event at that time did.
The difference of course is that Margaret Thatcher quoted St. Francis after she became Prime Minister.
Notice how even AST was embarrassed when Debono Grech was howling away. He discreetly left the stage. Now AST is not one who gets embarrassed easily.
No, I can not ignore Debono Grech.
You ruined my afternoon.
Thank you very much.
And even more disturbing is Anglu Farrugia’s, “U nghidu lin-Nazzjonalisti: l’anqas tafu x’gej ghalikom!”
You’re wrong. We’ve got a pretty good idea.
