GlAn BAdingfield jibda itajjar l-isparks

Let loose in Brussels without a Super One microphone or a restaurant to run, GlAn BAdingfield continues to find his feet. And Labour is thrilled. It has issued a press release telling us all that GlAn was among the MEPs who voted for a draft directive on cross-border health.

Although GlAn is not a “regular member of the committee”, Labour’s press missive said, our hero attended the sitting “because of the importance of the debate for Malta”.

I have to tell you, I’m impressed. GlAn attended the committee and then voted for the report. That’s more action than he’s probably seen for months.

Ah, but the peasants back home don’t know that all MEPs attend many committees and vote on reams of stuff. It’s part of the job, which is why we should now expect Labour to issue a press release each time Jason Micallef’s receptionist answers the telephone.

I hope for GlAn’s sake that there are some nice pole-dancing clubs in Brussels, where he will at least be within his depth.
