Sur Pisani x'ghadu jistenna Gonzipn biex ikecci lil Franco Debono mill-partit? Kemm qal aktar affarijiet serji Franco, dwar il-kapkmandant, c-cirku tal-hazen deputati u ministri. Sahansitra rnexxielu jqaccat wiehed mill-Ministri u Gonzipn ghadu ma' kecciehx. Tghid ghaliex Sur Pisani?

Has the Queen met Engelbert Humperdinck? I don't think so. Both parties are out to get political mileage from a non-event. As some others have commented, what people people in other competitive areas, such a sport. Should they not be met by the powers-that-be as well?

No, the queen did not, but she is the head of state not the head of a political party.
Engelbert Humberdinck had a worse result than the Maltese entrant.
Boris Johnson participated in the Chelsea celebrations.
Need I remind you when a minister was called "zibel" at the airport on a somewhat similar occasion.

My comment was not to recommend that the prime minister and the leader of the opposition' or indeed the head of state, meet all Maltese entrants in international contests, but to express my annoyance that these occasions are used to score political or personal points.

Irrespective of what is done, or not done, some persons have to complain. It seems to make them happy.

Disgusting reading your comment , i presume another know-all Englishman, what do you exactly mean by we the Small Minded Maltese. if you are British best to keep your trap shut if you have nothing nice to say top us Maltese, failing that push off much sooner then later. We do not need sarcastic remarks from you, keep your sarcasm for your queen and country.

When people comment, it shows that at least they have taken an interest and have made the ffort to comment. I would worry about those who have no idea what is going on around them snd consqequently cannot form an opinion. Does expressing an opinion bother you so much?

@j brincat

you know it is difficult to place well in the eurovision contest.

Are you suggesting that an LP government will not take part in the contest? Or else entrust it in the hands of Jason Micallef?

Which bloggers Mr.Zammit? A blogger is someone who owns a blog and updates it regularly. People writing here are commentators not bloggers. Wonder when people here will start using the right term and stop misusing the words "blog" and "blogger"!
