I am the SPK and I do as I please

Anglu Farrugia was on the ferry to Gozo this afternoon, and sat inside his car with the engine running for the last part of the trip (strictly Verboten) to keep himself nice and fresh with the air-conditioner on.
There are signs all over the hold saying you’re not to do that.
Staff were reluctant to ask the driver to turn the engine off, and the car released fumes into the hold while it was still (obviously) closed.

Kos, dal-ispeaker ma jafx jaqra u jifhem bl-ingliz u ma jafx tabilhaqq jitkellem bil-Malti. Kien jaqbillu kieku attenda ghar-revision lessons tal-Youth Guarantee (my foot) li l-Gvern ta’ Joe Muscat organizza minghajr success.
Are there special sessions for the over-18’s?
Not as far as I know. Pity!
Anglu won’t be admitted – however compelling his literary requirements.
Somebody needs to explain to him that car engines running in confined spaces leads to carbon monoxide poisoning leading to death. Do the Gozo Channel people have any health and safety standards?
What he did was several times worse then smoking in a restaurant.
‘Dr Farrugia says he fears the PL was changing its core values from a party which mainly represents the working class to one which felt too comfortable with big businessmen, adding he knows contractors who were close with individuals involved in Labour’s finances.’ – The Times of Malta
There is Anglu representative of the working class sitting in an air-conditioned car with the engine switched on in full breach of regulations.
Hey that’s a good example Mr. SPK. Issa ferhana il-mama?
The stab marks seemed to have healed rather quickly.

Highly dangerous to all on board and totally illegal. Dak ezempju.
Speaker Anglu Farrugia: “Being a neutral Speaker gives me more moral authority”

Are the employees of Gozo Channel all afraid to point out a breach of regulations. Are they afraid of losing their jobs and subsequent perks.
Ms Galizia, if you are fully up to date with the technology of Executive cars, you should know that there is no need to put the engine on in order for the lights to be switched on!!! And if you see the car next to the SPK, you will see the same lights on, pertaining to an MP. Probably because your car is not Executive standard like of these two members.
[Daphne – You don’t have to have an executive car to put the lights on without the engine running, haha. Most cars are like that. It’s one reason why batteries fail. This picture was taken by a friend of mine who was right next to the Speaker’s car and more than able to tell whether the engine was running. It was. You can tell that it was to keep the air-conditioner on (engine definitely required for that) because the windows are closed yet there were two people – Farrugia and his driver – inside.]
It is strictly Verboten to sit in the car during the ferry trip for obvious safety reasons, let alone to keep the engine running. Gozo Channel staff should make sure rules are strictly adhered to.
He doesn’t care because he was at the front and went out first.
Jaqq x’arroganza ta’ ministri ghandna. Bil-maggoranza tal poplu b’kollox. Kulhadd jaghmel li jrid u kif jaqbillu minghajr ma jaghti kaz ta’ regoli jew haddiehor. ‘Komdu jien, komdu kulhadd’. Hekk sar jirraguna Gahan il-Malti.
Fuq suggett iehor, dawk it-traffic lights li ghamlu fit-triq ghar-Rabat, qabel ma ddur ghal Ta’ Qali, qeghdin ghalxejn. Iktar qed nissugraw li naraw xi incident fatali, ghax is-sewwieqa flok qed jieqfu u jsuqu skont id-dawl u kif suppost, qeghdin jiksru mill-ewwel ghal Ta’ Qali, minflok jitilghu erba’ passi l’ fuq, iduru mar-roundabout u jergghu jinzlu kif hemm indikat.
SPK? Really?
Can we have someone from Times of Malta on his door step?
HEKK IVVOTA IL-POPLU W HEKK GHANDU.
IL-POPLU GHANDU IL-GVERN LI HAQQU.
Instead of SPK, his car should carry a plate ARR 01 (arrogance first class)
He was trying to “suicide” the crew with carbon monoxide.
Il-Gvern taghna naghmlu li jridu.
What about carbon monoxide? The hold is not so confined, but still. Young children would be particularly susceptible to poisoning.
Ghax ma tmurx tihdu goxx kemm ghandek u goxx it tebut li trid tindifen fih hemm trid toqod kurnuta taht il gvern tana trid u ma tridx liba tal majjali
X’int mahruq Ton,
Jaqaw nqatghetlek il-birra ta’ Santa Marija?
This is a very serious breach of health and safety regulations. A car with the engine running, spewing out carbon monoxide in an enclosed space, is extremely dangerous. Anywhere else the culprit would have been arrested, but in the Orwellian farm that Malta has become Taghna LLkollers are more equal than others.
Such irresponsible behaviour that endangers the health of others, and defies clear instructions, reflects on the sense of responsibility of the person involved. Is he fit to hold an office of responsibility like the Speaker of the House of Representatives?
Apparentement kemm ilna nistudjaw ic-Ciniz insejna bil-Malti u bl-Ingliz. Chinese please, it is more understandable.
