Ahh, kemm hu sabih! Nista nistiva d-dbielet tal-jeans go fih.
If I were to ring Labour MP Anton Refalo ta’ Ghawdex, would he buy me this piece of furniture at auction, do you think, and have it sent to my home?
Labour in Gozo - Anton Refalo (far right) 'Tghid nixtrilha xi credenza sabiha lil Daphne?'

I would not take the risk as their mentalities are similar to that of the Stone Age.
[Daphne – That’s fine by me. I have a fur bikini.]
Wow….fur bikini. That’s nice. Ara ma jfettillekx tilbsu imma ta’ ghax malajr igibuk fil-gossip page tal-maltastar.com. Insomma tista tilbsu kemm trid, lilek jixraqlek. Tahseb li jixirqilha lil Consie?
Daphne, what is this about Anton Refalo tal-Labour and auctions? I remember you mentioning it in another blog-post. I either missed something or you are keeping something up your sleeve.
[Daphne – Maybe I should ring him up and ask him whether it’s true that he buys furniture at auction for friends who wear denim mini-skirts. Not that I don’t know the answer, but maybe his political bosses would like to call him in and get the answer first.]
Oh, the plot thickens.
Serious enough to attract Kevin Ellul Bonici.
It is good that you are widening the scope of your criticism. Otherwise you were running the risk of confirming rumours that you are attacking Robert Musumeci. My impression is that you are bringing to the fore the unacceptable behaviour of a member of the judiciary, and Mr Musumeci happens to be just the aggravating circumstance.
[Daphne – Ding dong.]
To make this point ever more clear, one could have a look at the perizji the magistrate gave out when she was “enjoying the company” of Vincenso de Mel – how many perizji did she give out to Vincenso de Mel when they were “having a good time together” some time before Kermit got in the picture?
Who is this Vincenso del Mel you keep talking about?
It is not DEL MEL but DE MEL.
Ask at the law courts for Vincenso de Mel, and every lawyer and his brother will point him out to you. The man is quite well-known for his gentle manners and easy-going nature.
Vincenso de Mel was married with kids. Then he and his spouse each went their own way, and Vincenso got married a second time, again with kids.
It would seem that between the first marriage and the second marriage there was a ‘magistrate interlude’.
Now the point is: was this magistrate interlude a catalyst in the first marital breakup?
I ask these questions because if there is a change of government, a new Labour government might consider seriously “promoting” Dr Scerri Herrera to judge.
As you Daphne rightly pointed out, these “embellishments” of one’s personal CV do have a bearing on the worldview of the person sitting on the bench, and, conceivably, on the outcome of the judicial deliberations.
Justice must not only be done, but be seen to be done. This is of utmost importance if the well-being of society is to be ensured.
I don’t think that Magistrate Scerri Herrera is of the right moral rectitude to sit on the bench.
Another interesting point to consider: Vincenso de Mel is some seven years young than the magistrate.
[Daphne – Well, if you look at the pattern of the magistrate’s extra-curricular activities, you’ll notice that she goes for those who would regard her in some way as superior: either socially, or because of her status as a magistrate, or younger and hence more vulnerable men. Hence the stream of policemen, working-class or lower-middle-class men who are younger, etc. I don’t have any indication that the magistrate has succeeded sexually with somebody good-looking, self-confident, fairly well off, her age and tal-pepe.]
Nice carpet.
I wonder what he got in return.
A lay on the carpet Alan, maybe?
Is this the piece of furniture Consuelo had valued at the BBC Antiques Roadshow? Or is it a more recent acquisition?
I well remember that piece valued at over 100,000 sterling. Good luck to them as long as it was not purchased through ill-gotten gains.
More seriously though Daphne, I am disappointed that people who should know better are abdicating their responsibility in supporting you and indeed defending your interests. Even more so, I want to know what the government intends to do to clean out the police and the judiciary. As far as I am concerned this is an unacceptable situation in a country, now a member of the EU. Are we back to being a banana republic?
With all due respect to Ta’ Ninu – this has got nothing to do with the EU.
Switzerland, Norway, Andorra, San Marino, Monaco… many countries are not in the EU and they do not have such banana-republic messes in their public administrations. The same applies to Canada, Australia, the US, and Israel.
The point is whether we belong with the West or with the Third World. (The West includes the EU, of course; but the EU is NOT the West.)
If we are a truly Western country, then our society should reject such shady, dubious situations.
Dr CPSH, and those of her ilk, would be fine in a backward, Third World country, verging on Failed State status.
In Western countries, where the State not only functions approximately well but also has the semblance of something respectable, such charades are instantly spotted and action taken.
