I’ve been away from this blog for some time, being of a moderately lazy disposition and that.  

On medical advice (self-administered) I’ve concluded that letting off steam is more important than putting up my (virtual) feet, so I’m b(e)ck - don’t be surprised if you see some themes used here developed further in my weekly column, though.

What price Brexit now, ay? 

I’m not thinking that the threat of Premier Muscat campaigning in favour “if asked” will tip the balance, especially as he’d probably do more harm than good. Can you imagine what a semi-decent English journalist would do with Premier Joe’s diatribes against joining the EU?  Does he really think he can fool all of the people all of the time?  

It might work here, though not all of the time, but the first question he’d be asked, if he dared take on an English journalist (after his showing with that Italian one, he’d best not, methinks) would be “erm, ‘scuse me, Mr Muscat, hadn’t you tried to stop Malta joining the EU a few years ago? where do you get off telling us to stay in?”

On past evidence, Premier Joe would start off with a great big grin on his face, because he’s playing with the Big Boys, and then as soon as he realises that he’s not being given the undying adulation that he’s used to getting here, his brow will pucker up and he’ll get all sniffy and aggressive, probably telling them that it’s the Nasty Nationalists’ fault, so there.

No, the reason why Brexit shouldn’t happen is quite simple for me: if clowns like Farage and Galloway, not to mention faux befuddled eyers of the main chance like Boris “Floppy Hair” Johnson, want the UK out of the EU, that’s the best reason ever for them to stay in.  

There are many other reasons, such as the fact that the Express and the Daily Mail wanting them out, that militate towards anyone with an ounce of sense wanting to stay in.

What is it about the LGBTISXCRA (the last few letters are just my own whimsical fancy kicking in) lobby that makes them get all hot and bothered whenever someone contraries them?  

What Archbishop Scicluna actually said wasn’t what they thought he said, but did they bother to analyse it properly?

 Nope,they got all prissy and hissy, screeching blue murder at the repressive attitudes of the Catholic Church, shame on you, Minister…sorry, meant Bishop.

What Archbishop Scicluna actually said wasn’t what they thought he said, but did they bother to analyse it properly?

Now as far as I am concerned, anyone’s sexuality is their business and their’s alone and everyone should get out of everyone else’s bedroom, but hey, guys, calm down a tad and let’s have a debate, not megaphones at dawn.  

It all turned out nicely for Premier Joe, though, didn’t it?  He and his minions got to look all liberal and multicoloured, just when he needed a bit of distraction from the stench of corruption.  And just when he needed a distraction, too, from the vicious vileness of Bedingfield and his fellow travellers.

When you say that Premier Joe’s minions are liberal and multicoloured, you say that with a number of pinches of salt, of course - take note of what that prime example of reasonableness and rationality Debono Grech spouted last Sunday, warning Labour’s supporters to stop whinging about what the Labour Party in Government is doing - according to this political genius, Nationalists supporters never used to do this.

Yeah, right, how does he think Premier Joey got elected, if not on the back of Nationalists sympathisers having got fed up with their guys and believing Muscat’s yarns?
