Press conference live on NET TV now
Also available at live.mychoice.pn
They’re playing a clip from The Sunday Times interview in which Christian Peregin asks Joseph Muscat whether Toni Abela should resign, and Muscat says that if he were a candidate then he would have had to withdraw from the electoral race.
And Peregin says that well, this would apply to Muscat too, then, because he also knew about the drug-dealing and the cover-up and didn’t do anything about it, and he – unlike Toni Abela – actually IS an electoral candidate. So why doesn’t he withdraw from the electoral race?
Muscat bluffs and blabs, not having had the intelligence to see that one coming.
The real answer, of course, is that he feels himself answerable to no one. He can demand Toni Abela’s resignation but nobody can demand his.
Note to Clyde Puli: lose the horrible, horrible ties. You’re a good speaker but your neckwear is really distracting in the worst possible way.

How the hell does Clyde Puli pretend to get away with that arrogance?
If that’s arrogance. What are your values?
Puli goes to the core, something you seem to ignore.
I was referring to his way of dodging certain (non-idiotic) questions. The blokka l-bajda is not the new 42.
Arrogance in person is Joseph Muscat, caught lying and trying to get away with it by describing drugs as a block of ice.
His insolence in this towards the public’s intelligence is beyond imagination.
Let’s get back to a positive campaign, he says, as if anything in labour’s campaign has been positive, starting with a false promise of cheaper tariffs that has already evaporated into thin air.
“Arrogance in person is Joseph Muscat, caught lying and trying to get away with it by describing drugs as a block of ice.”
Yes, Muscat trying to avoid a direct question on the subject (or worse still, doing like Puli and bringing up the inanity du jour at every opportunity) is equally arrogant.
Ok ok, who cares what happens to those in Colombia and Afghanistan forced to bring it here.
We’ll be legal.
How does arrogance feature in this, exactly?
No, wait. I’ll tell you.
Next time you find a block of ice, chuck it in the dustbin and if the police come knocking at your door, tell them it’s none of their business.
But first make sure that the policemen are ‘laburisti’
No, tell them it has melted and the evidence has evaporated
“pretend” as in the literal translation from the Maltese “jippretendi”?
The correct word to use is “expect”.
This is like Michelle saying “permit me” instead of “allow me” when addressing an audience and telling them that she was about to switch into English because of a foreigner in the audience.
You’re using “pretend” wrongly.
pretend jippretendi
pretend = jaghmel ta bir-ruhu.
You’re using “pretend” wrongly.
pretend does not equal “jippretendi”
pretend equals “jaghmel ta bir-ruhu”
The site rejected some characters so I had to rewrite the message.
The word, if anything, is ‘expect’, not ‘pretend’.
‘pretend’ cannot be simply translated from the Maltese ‘jippretendi’. The correct word in English would be ‘expect’.
Owkej. As Saviour would say, “Kill the messenger, and f*** the message”.
What was your message exactly? That we should take Super One’s “questions” seriously?
Please.
No, no ma tarax (you don’t see)? The message was nonsense too, just like the translation.
The current MLP could give a week long seminar on arrogance. JM consistently treats ‘the people’ like complete ignoramuses, such is his perceived superiority.
There’s a name for the condition, which I can’t be bothered to google. It’s to do with someone having position and responsibilities thrust upon him that are WAYYY above his station. That’s Joey to a tee.
Trick questions from ONE, honestly Ramona and Jonathan, if you do it, it’s your problem.
Or are we to accept it’s your relative standards that cause the indifference?
Malta Today (and One) are asking whether or not a loan from a contractor to the PN is problematic.
Perhaps one could ask Maltatoday whether printing its newspaper at the GWU, using the GWU’s distribution networks, using the Labour Party’s deputy leader and sharing journalists/reports with Maltastar is problematic.
As long as Saviour doesn’t wear tweed jackets, it’s fine.
Spot on, Nighthawk.
And perhaps one could ask MaltaToday to check if borrowing money by taking credit from Kasco on purchase of equipment and consumables puts The Times in a compromised position vis-a-vis the Malta Labour Party, whose electoral campaign is managed by Kasco’s owner.
It’s Nestor Laiviera who posed the question: that is the crux of the matter
“”If elected, we are ready to work with everyone who wants to expand in this sector. We are envisaging INTO partnerships to develop a private campus both in Malta and Gozo,” Muscat said, adding that Gozo needs new institutions offering opportunities in medicinal studies.” (MaltaToday)
Is this Joseph’s idea of a second university?
Is this foreign company a ‘baron’?
Is it ethical to go into a partnership while still in Opposition?
IN….INTO.. what a coincidence. Is INTO IN?
I don’t know but I have an eerie feeling PL will be celebrating on the 10th.
In the PL approach there is something so surrealistic. The unknown, the new, always attracts youngsters – I say this because I believe their vote that will be a determining factor. Not many votes really but enough for the change.
Theirs is a new world to experiment with, and lest we forget, that the departing platform for Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, or Communism, was exactly Utopian.
Dr Muscat understands this desire for novelty and is so over excited to start his ‘planned’ experimenting with the country, which means the ordinary and not so, citizens, in general.
Unfortunately in failure, it’s the ‘poor’ who are going to suffer, but if it’s of some consolation and things go wrong and they will, they have Dr Muscat’s word of honour ‘that he will resign’…
I am bracing myself for hard times, very hard. I wish to be optimistic but sincerely I am having nightmares.
Joseph shot the deputy.
But who’s going to shoot the sheriff?
Has anybody seen it? Just saw a PL feature on TVM of what the PL wants to make people believe will be happening after the first 100 days of another PN government.. it is utterly distasteful and disgusting..the announcer is really gloating with all this made up news he’s reading out…. first time I switched off the TV at such obscenities.
First time I have ever really recoiled in fear! So much so that here am I replying to comments on a political blog.
The future bodes not well.
How nice of Lino Spiteri to endorse Lawrence Gonzi

“Which makes it all the more necessary for the winner of the March 9 contest to be able to form a government that can focus on domestic affairs and a corruption-free environment, certainly, but which would also be capable of steering Malta through the threatening EU turmoil.”
Let’s hear that again:
“but which would also be capable of steering Malta through the threatening EU turmoil.”
Oh no, Muscat will not resign…..even if his Power Station dream won’t materialize. Ex MUT Bencini stated at the meeting yesterday that Joey is a nice man and should remain in power……..or something to that effect !
