GonziPN this morning unveiled the new billboard aiming to pass on the foul message that 'Labour won't work' resorting to copying scare tactics from the 1970s.

Appparently the PN gurus can only 'copy' ideas and are not able to be creative.

Maybe they should attend Labour Party's 'Socjeta Kreattiva' seminar tonight on creative industries.

Labour leader Joseph Muscat tweeted in reaction to this PN 'original' campaign tweeted that the fact that GonziPN copied a billboard coined by Thatcher's Tories 33 years ago says alot about its mindframe.

A Labour Party statement this morning read: 

33 years ago:
-          Ayatollah Khomeini returns to Iran
-          Saddam becomes President of Iraq
-          The Walkman is the latest gadget
-          Village People come up with a new song: YMCA
-          Trivial Pursuit hits the stands
-          Superman is the latest special effects movie
-          Little House on the Prairie was a hit show
-          GonziPN's copycat billboard is created
GonziPN is stuck in the past. 

A 'stuck in the past government' which accuses 'Labour won't work' is like an ostrich head buried in the sand.

Hekku hu hbieb. Dik hi l-holma vizziva li kelli Gonzi.Il-billboard ta Gonzipn jirrifletti ezatt mal-holma tieghu li dak il- kju ta-nies qieghed jistenna l-mument biex jaghti l-verdett lil-Gonzipn biex ilesti ruhu ghal-l-oppozzizjoni, fejn mil-qamar austin gatt jkun jista jibghat il-proposti lil-membri shabu ta l-oppozzizjoni wara l-elezzjoni generali.

Ahjar nghidu lil poplu malti xse' naghmlu bil kwistjoni ta immigrazzjoni irregolari. Mhux bizzejjed ma hawnx wisgha ghalina. Il-bierah smajt fuq radio One ragel jibki (ragel malti tafhux mhux klandestine) ghax se jmut minghajr medicini ghax ma hemmx flus b"dana kollu ghall immigranti insibu flus u hin u patrol boats iduru fil vojt u il kuntrabandu tad-droga diehel galore u hadd ma jitniffes u hadd ma jipprotesta. Dan Pajjizna sar pajjiz tar-raba' dinja anqas tat tielet. Dr. Muscat kun car fuq din il-kwistjoni ghax naf hafna nies li se jahlu il-vot fuq..... tafu min. Il kelma cavetta veru spiccat dan il kumment bil Verita_ INFAMY

Copying a British Conservative billboard from 30 years ago election campaign.

Who said that GonziPartitNegattiv is not a CONSERVATIVE PARTY !!!!!!!!

There it is. Another proof that not only the PN is a Conservative Party. But it is also a negative one.

Dawn huma l-proposti li jista joffri Gonzipn ghal-elezzjoni generali fil-qrib. Dan hu serhan tal-mohh li jista joffri Gonzipn jekk jerga jitla fil-gvern.Il-pajjiz ghandu bzonn gdid u serju mmexxi mill-partit laburista ghal-gejjieni ta Malta gdida.

The message is on the wall..........If the PL goes in power the Gonzipn faithful unions will start to to stop the PL in power. An example is AIRMALTA, the ramp is packed with gonzipn supporters,other sections have roots that have been planted for 25 years.History repeats it`s self, Alfred Sant left these type of persons in very strategic departments which led to a fall from power.

With nothing working well after 25 years of PN rule, they must be crazy to choose that billboard! Is RCC getting sloppy? Could it be that he is missing his massive perks and salary?

It seems that plagiarism is at the heart of this government, i.e the case of the PN whip? To realize how serious plagiarism is taken in other EU countries one should only look at what happened last week in Romania where two ethics committees found that Prime Minister Victor Ponta plagiarized over a third of his PhD thesis. Some 40 university professors and staff from several universities in Romania, Germany and the US wrote an open letter to Andronescu denouncing the cover-up.
"Victor Ponta is guilty not only of his plagiarism but also of the current instrumentation of state institutions for covering up and turning around a truth that is as evident as it gets: plagiarism," they said. How can a professor now honestly expect from his students that to abide by strict rules of quotation, when the Prime Minister gets away with plagiarism? How can they raise their child in a society where lying and cheating are the standard and those abiding by the rules are portrayed as "stupid." This was reported in the EU Observer

GonziPN' slogan of making Malta a place of excellence has backfired as they are using a billboard which goes back a THIRD OF A CENTURY rather than looking forward. When will GonziPN get one thing right?

A simple question to Dr.Autin Power Gatt.
Is that the queue of people waiting on a stage when the Arriva started it's operation in Malta, without il BUZULLOTTI ? It is the P.N. monument, the queues, every where you go, with queues, the Banks, at the Primary Health Centre,at the Mater Dei,at the E.T.C., every where. They are so used to it, that they cannot forget it, the long ,long, and never ending queue....

Labour wont work? Well just for starters who started a Welfare state in our country,Labour in the 1970.Who started pensions in our country? Labour in the 70, Who started children allowances in this country? Labour 1970, Free education and medical care for all? Labour in the 50 & 70, Who started Air Malta Sea Malta & other industries in this country Labour between the 70 to the 80. And finally who has been dismantling and threatening to dismantle all PN in the last 20 years. that has got us in a worse position than Greece. Greece still has its assets and have not sold its silver but asked for a bail out but here what have we got left nothing all has been sold and siphoned into the pockets of a few close friend.

No billboard will concience me to change my mind. The billboard which I have in mind is the price of W&E, the omellettes (frejjeg) of A.Gatt, the waiting of opps in Mater Dei, medicine out of stock responsible by J.Cassar who where ever you see him always have the mobile glued to his ear walking sideways. The price of fuel, cost of living has reached the sky, The money spent "just for party's propoganda etc...etc...etc. Now I come to my question; can the labour do worst than this? "I think its impossible!!!".

Il-whip tal-PN inqabad 3 darbiet jikkopja. Li kien kapaci ma kienx jinqabad. Austin Gatt ftahar li ikkopja is-sistema ta l-Arriva li b'semplici SMS tkun taf fejn waslet tal-linja.
