The Prime Minister does a Luciano Busuttil/Nuxellina and tweets the official dinner menu

And to embarrass himself further, he says “not exactly fish and chips” – which I immediately took to be a reference to the fact that the reason they have gathered there is because of Britain.

Instead of sounding like he’s the expert in what he calls British humour, he comes across as somebody from the sticks who wants to show off the menu – which reminds us of his fake stance some years ago when he rudely refused to go to Prime Minister Gonzi’s formal farewell dinner for outgoing President Fenech Adami, saying loudly and publicly that he hates those things and would much rather eat a burger. Then he went to Ragusa with Anglu Farrugia.

To tweet this, he would have had to bring out his phone at the table, snap a photograph of the menu, then tweet it from the table. H.A.M.A.L.L.I. United. It’s bad enough they’re so corrupt – but do they have to be such crass hamalli as well?
