Robert pokes Roderick
Robert Musumeci is a Facebook friend of Labour’s spokesman on the MEPA, Roberick Galdes.
Roderick Galdes, more pointedly, is the Labour Party’s representative on the MEPA board.
Here’s Robert, expressing his admiration for Roderick Galdes’ images of Roderick Galdes ‘having a life’:
Robert likes Roderick Galdes’s album Roderick Gallery.
It is accompanied, of course, by the standard Facebook thumbs-up symbol.
How inane. And these are the people to whom we entrust serious decisions that affect our lives. What happened to the days when men drank whisky, played poker and talked about women?
Now they’re ‘poking’ each other on Facebook and sending each other virtual Valentines and bouquets. Maybe it’s all those hormones in the chicken.

Why do Robert and Roderick need to meet on Facebook when they can easily meet at MEPA. Or is this unethical?
It must be Malta’s limited gene pool.
Robert,
You ruined your political career. How can you be trusted in future? Il-Partit Nazzjonalista ghandu bzonn nies bhal mibki Dr George Bonnello du Puis u mhux bhal xi erba carlatani li mohhom hu biss x’ser jakkwistaw.
Daphne, men do not “talk about” women any more. And, is that the same Roderick who is a MEPA employee, Labour spokesman on MEPA and MEPA board member?
[Daphne – Of course. Haven’t you just read what I wrote here?]
It’s a conspiracy! We all know it! They’re turning the women into men and the men into poofters!
Bovril, you got the bull by its horns.
Hey Bovril, glad you said horns, not balls, ghax dawk they belong to someone else.
Today’s generation is lousy and freakish. Friends of friends and hokkli dahri u nhokklok dahrek.
What I really love about the Facebook generation is this situation of having pending friends. Bondi’s got some 2,500 of them.
Lou Bondi’s hardly ‘the Facebook generation’.
have a look at this :

I certainly do hope that grown men and women have better things to do than virtual farming or looking for new friends on Facebook.
Ever heard of the 40-something lawyer who was unavailable – only to be “caught” on Farmville milking a cow at the precise time he was … unavailable?
Are you seriously saying that no PN can be facebook friends with a MPL? How narrowminded are you? i have friends from most political parties in Malta on my facebook. It is called a democracy – the right to vote what you want in life without any prejudice. I know couples where one is nationalist, the other is labour. Why do you want to fuel this Maltese sandpit mentality of not not who you are but what party you vote for? Very very sad…
[Daphne – All right, who’s going to explain to this lady that we’re talking about a controversial architect/MEPA relationship here, and that politics is just a side issue?]
“Some of my best friends are gay…”
Perhaps Astrid can…
Dear Angel, I do not pretend to be in a better position than Daphne to answer you, but like you I am a Maltese citizen and I have an opinion, which is: of course there is nothing wrong in being friends, whether on Facebook or anywhere, across party affiliations.
I am a Nationalist supporter and was even highly active in the party, doing my bit for a number of years. I not only had and have numerous friends from the Labour Party, but even tried to help whenever and wherever it was necessary.
This is not what Daphne is highlighting. Whenever you vote in an election, you give your vote to whom you think serves best the interests you deem important, and whom you see credible enough to pursue those interests.
But, if you see a pretender is so close to the opposing party, to the extent that he even sleeps with somebody intimately involved with the opposition, now that is something totally different.
Daphne has not just exposed Musumeci’s friendship with Roderick Galdes. She has exposed a series of friendships with the opposition and its media, not only on Facebook, but socially in real life. What are the implications of these friendships? We can only speculate at this point in time, But you should ask yourself why there were so many Labour Party agents at the counting hall when Musumeci contested John Dalli’s seat. What was their interest in having him elected?
At least some people make sense:

Amusing I`m sure but just a tad homophobic.
[Daphne – How so?]
“What happened to the days when men drank whisky, played poker and talked about women?”
They’re long gone, and good riddance. It’s all very well to lodge your tongue firmly in your cheek, but Maltese politics is chauvinistic enough as it is. And I say that as a full-blooded male.
