[Daphne – No. I didn’t get it wrong. I got the story direct from the people who had to cope with these contraventions of protocol and the consequences of having the event gatecrashed by the wife of the leader of the Opposition, with the archbishop tagging along for good measure. Precisely because of that protocol and sheer good manners, the organisers can’t very well come right out with it and say that she wasn’t invited. So, just in case you still can’t accept the truth, this is it: Michelle Muscat wasn’t invited. Kate Gonzi was there not because she is married to the prime minister, but because she is chairman of the fund. The archbishop was not invited either. Both Mrs Muscat and the archbishop were sent there by Norman Hamilton Travel, who paid for the trip. Mrs Muscat took the Super One cameras with her, invading the privacy of the families using the flats, and the sick children. No transport was provided for her because she was a gatecrasher, not a guest. Her breach of protocol and good manners caused a great deal of consternation among the organisers, who were very, very upset. She and her people did not even have the decency to inform their official host/ess, the chairman of the fund, that they would be going. She had to find out through third parties. Shocking bad behaviour, I’m afraid.]

[Daphne – Actually, it was the newspaper that got it wrong.]

[Daphne – She’s actually a very kind-hearted person, though.]
