Oh my god, I thought he was Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando

Oh dear, she’s going to think she’s being followed.

The magistrate doesn’t know how many ‘friends’ she has.

One of them has just messaged me to say that Consuelo Herrera and Robert Musumeci are right this minute at dinner at Tarragon in St Paul’s Bay, at a table of 10 who include her brother Jose Herrera and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando.

Way to go, Jeffrey. Ma’ min rajtek, xebbahtek. All four of you can shout ‘F’gh*xx Gonzi together.’ Jose can lead the chant.

    One can only hazard a guess at what the topic of their conversation will be. Your ears must be ringing like mad at the moment, Daphne.

  4. ciccio2010 says:

    Gee, Daphne, this is getting better than CNN’s Breaking News Live coverage.

    Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando should be asking himself whether he has any political credibility left.

    • Isard du Pont says:

      He lost that some time ago. Both he and the magistrate live in denial. They have constructed an alternative reality for themselves, in which they feel safe.

    • Tudor Kaye says:

      The answer is that he has none. Come next election those two districts will disappear in favour of another bloke.

  5. Twanny says:

    Getting a bit sick, isn’t it?

      I quite agree. Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando must be mad.

      • Isard du Pont says:

        Claudette, remember the maxim: keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. One imagines that this is what the prime minister is doing. Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando is not a trusted person, but because he cannot be removed he has to be kept close.

      • Claudette says:

        @Isard du Pont – Imma b’dan il-mod nhoss li Gonzi ser ikun f’pozizzjoni li ser jigi rikattat iktar spiss. Meta jkun irid iktar zidiet etc… JPO issa jaf x’ghandu jaghmel.

    Nice place with a nautical decor. HMS Consie should feel right at home there … some old salt with his hand on her tiller … plenty of buoys to tie up against … a submarine inspecting her bottom …

    • Isard du Pont says:

      She should take care that nobody dies on board her vessel though, or John Charles Ellul will have to fly in to – literally – conduct a magisterial inquiry.

      Isn’t that where she, as a 14 year old schoolgirl, used to hang out with Giannella, then a 21 year old mum? Yeah right.

    Do you think we are in time to visit and manage to get a few drinks on the house? Bottle of Smirnoff please…

    • Isard du Pont says:

      Jeffrey drinks whisky and Consuelo doesn’t drink alcohol because it has calories and every one of those counts when you’re struggling every day not to end up looking like a Greyhound bus.

  9. Whoa, there! says:

    Well, in some jurisdictions, this persistence in posting about certain people may be interpreted as being cyberstalking which if proven, is a criminal offence.

    And before anyone starts uttering their disbelief, one should just check the recent cyberstalking laws being enforced in Italy and the long-standing privacy laws in the UK.

    Posting online the location of where a magistrate, two MPs and a mayor-cum-PN candidate are dining – even though a public place – could be construed as a very serious breach of their personal security should any form of incident occur.

    Just think before pressing the ‘SUBMIT COMMENT’ button or moderating posts.

    [Daphne – Oh get lost, honestly. You people live in a closed world of your own. And you just don’t understand the new media AT ALL.]

    • Whoa, there! says:

      It’s because I am pretty much aware on a professional level of case law, developments and issues surrounding what you term as ‘new media’ that I have posted this.

      I really don’t know why I bother: Worse than casting pearls and what-not.

      [Daphne – I doubt that you are. We live in a country which still deploys criminal libel, and you’re talking of case law on new media? Get a grip. Gej bis-cyber stalking ukoll. Il-vera tlaqna, jahasra. The magistrate claims she’s being harassed, but what do you know, I’m the one who’s had to be given police protection. Give a wild guess as to why and because of whom. Ironic, isn’t it? She phones the police to protect her against me, and the police place a guard at MY gate.]

      • NGT says:

        Do you mean that at this very moment you have police outside your gate monitoring when you come and go?

        [Daphne – You misunderstand me. What I have is police protection, not police surveillance. The Commissioner of Police thought it best that, given the prevailing circumstances, an officer is stationed outside our house at night.]

      • kev says:

        These are the contrasts I love most on this blog.

        ‘Whoa, there!’ clearly knows what he’s saying, yet he’s rubbished by an envelope-pushing Daphne, too busy trying to introduce ‘backward’ Malta to Western standards, which, unbeknown to her, are rapidly being decimated by scaremongering, security-obsessed state apparatchiks whose only job is to impose control through cutting edge anti-t’rr’rst legislation.

        Be sure that very opportunity to control cyberspace is taken – every possible justification; every straw… All in the name of security. Goldstein? Perpetual wars? Orwell? Pearls, anyone? Helloooo…

        [Daphne – Kev, while you’re on line, might you perhaps tell us what your wife’s brother was doing in Singapore with Consuelo Herrera?]

      • kev says:

        I’ve dispatched a pigeon with your query, Daphne. Got full landing clearance from the Catch-a-Tour Senter, but if Homer gets leaded I’ll try pony express.

      • Antoine Vella says:

        kev
        “…scaremongering, security-obsessed state apparatchiks whose only job is to impose control through cutting edge anti-t’rr’rst legislation.”

        Are you referring to ‘Whoa, there!’ who would stop Daphne from writing about the magistrate because it’s “a very serious breach” of security?

    • ciccio2010 says:

      Characteristics of cyberstalking are expected to include: malice, premeditation, repetition, distress, obsession, vendetta, no legitimate purpose, personally directed, disregarded warnings to stop, harassment, and threats.

      This is a news blog with some political views in it, so I cannot see the above coming into it. It is not like we are getting an update every five minutes of what Consuelo, Robert or Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando are doing. Moreover, this is information on people in public life, or in public places, who are paid out of the public purse, and who have sought to keep their activities secret.

      Of course, one should be careful what to say, and I believe Daphne is moderating all comments.

      For instance, it is clear that the value of the entry above relates to Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s presence at a dinner for friends with Consuelo and Robert and with Jose Herrera, who only a few days ago shouted ‘F’ghoxx dak Gonzi taghkom’ in parliament. But I cannot see anything more than Pullicino Orlando incurring further dents to his credibility through his association with such people.

      Let’s leave aside his close friendship with the magistrate and her lover. Was it a good idea for him to be seen dining with Jose Herrera, after Jose insulted the prime minister in parliament with such vulgar language? It makes him seem disloyal and somebody who has poor judgement.

      • George D says:

        Will all of you please stop repeating the obscenity uttered by that vulgar man Jose Herrera?

    • maryanne says:

      ‘could be construed’ – Your choice of words say it all.

      • Whoa, there! says:

        “Could be construed” as ultimately, it’s a court which in a supposedly civilised, democratic country which decides whether a crime has been committed or not.

      • La Redoute says:

        Would that be a country where magistrates entertain the prosecution?

      • La Redoute says:

        Make that ‘entertain the prosecuting officers’.

    • John Azzopardi says:

      The ‘some jurisdictions’ that you speak of do not include Malta. So go find something better to do than to try and impress us with your knowledge of case law.

      • Whoa, there! says:

        Wrong, John: There are various elements in our comprehensive set of laws which cater for cases which may include what is now being termed as cybercrime.

        In fact, the Malta Police Force has a very active, well connected unit headed by a Superintendent for this task. Besides this, god knows what the Security Service has but, for sure, it does have access to all the logs and servers of hosting sites, ISPs and telecoms providers.

        Above all, Malta has in place a set of first class set of laws which were approved at the dawn of the millennium. Of particular relevance is the Computer Misuse Act which complements other legislation such as the Criminal Code in matters related to, for example, incidents occurring over digital networks.

      • kev says:

        Cyber-control is clearly lagging behind ground control. You see, white t’rr’rsts are now lurking everywhere. Everyone is suspect. You could be one yourself and not even know it!

    • Genoveffa says:

      Oh, Madonna dan avukat? X’ghandu x’jaqsam cyberstalking? If every public figure who is spoken about claims that he or she is being cyberstalked, then all journalists would need to look for another career.

      He mentioned Italy – tajba ukoll. I live there. In Italy TV personalities and politicians are followed 24/7 and every move is documented and published. Cyberstalking is a totally different matter.

        But I bet you anything he’s now concerned about attracting the wrong crowd. Great food and Malta’s recycled lot do not go together.

  17. Renald says:

    Unbelievable, Daphne. We were at a restaurant this evening and Joseph Muscat was at a table behind us. I’m sitting here laughing because we had originally planned to go to Tarragon.

  18. Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando says:

    Daphne and Robert Musumeci both stood up for me during one of the darkest periods in my life. They did so notwithstanding ‘the baying of the mob’ (Sunday 23/3/08-DCG)

    @’ISARD DU PONT’ : rest assured that I will never forget this

    • Alan says:

      It seems you have a bout of amnesia, Dr Pullicino Orlando. The enemies of my friends are also my enemies. In the public’s eyes, qishek farfett or a honey-bee. In situations like these, you have to choose your loyalties and not sit on the fence. Live up to what you say, one way or the other. But choose you must, as at the moment, you are looking like nothing more than a dangerous, disloyal, opportunistic user.

      • Grezz says:

        As Daphne puts it sometimes, with sitting on the fence, you risk getting a post up your nether region.

    • Hmmm says:

      So why do you keep company with the people who are trying to have her jailed?

      Just in case you’re wondering, I am not ‘Isard du Pont’.

      • The Bus Conductor says:

        So tell us, Jeffrey – do you feel comfortable and at ease socialising with the magistrate and her lover, while they are hard at work trying to throw Daphne into prison, and because of whom – indirectly – she now has a police guard at her gate at night?

        Are you really happy to be seen in public with Jose Herrera just days after he yelled ‘F’ghoxx dak Gonzi taghkom’ in parliament?

        You can blame it on your lack of character, but then they do say that hair-dye gradually addles the brain.

    • Tudor Kaye says:

      Jeffrey, inti membru parlamentari mal-Partit Nazzjonalista u ma gejtx elett biex tmur tiekol ma’ min tant ghamlilna hsara u ma min m’ghandhux idea x’inhi etika.

      X’ghamilt int lejlet l-elezzjoni dik bicca tieghek li ghal ftit ma telliftniex l-elezzjoni u mbaghad kont tkun taf min huma n-Nazzjonalisti. Billi tellghuk minn zewg distretti ara ma terfax rasek ghax zgur mhux ser tirrepeti ruha din it-tragikummidja.

      The darker period would be the table of 10.

    • mastr antonio says:

      The people who voted for you, myself included, never thought you would do what you have been up to lately, Jeffrey.

    • Grezz says:

      You will “never forget” that Daphne stood up for you “during one of the darkest periods” in your life, and yet, you feel no shame in being associated with the people who are trying their best to have her jailed. Now tell me that you sleep easily at night with that on your conscience.

      Some people really have no shame at all, least of all one who cried so loudly just over two years ago “imissekk tisthi, imisshekk tisti …” so publicly at one who, at the end of the day, tried to expose what we now know was more-or-less the truth.

  21. TROY says:

    Shame on you, Jeffrey.

    • Hmmm says:

      Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando has no shame.

      He’s close to Consuelo Scerri Herrera because her lover “stood up for me during one of the darkest periods in my life”.

      Daphne did so too. Consuelo and her lover are trying to have her jailed. That hasn’t stopped Jeffrey cosying up to them both. He is truly and utterly shameless.

      • The Bus Conductor says:

        This is a reminder for Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando of what his daughter had to endure during that ‘darkest period’ of his life. Perhaps he forgot that it was possibly one of the darkest periods of her life, too.

        Even if he is capable of putting aside the tortures the Labour Party inflicted on him during the general election two years ago, so that he can consort with Consuelo (so bubbly!), Robert, and her their dreadful, cheap and tacky Super One friends, as a proper, caring father he should shun them for the suffering they put his daughter through.

        If he has forgotten, let him hear it in Jenny’s own words, posted on this blog exactly two years ago. It’s bad enough that her own mother is a member of parliament with the Labour Party, despite its behaviour towards her own child. Isn’t one opportunistic parent enough?

        Jenny Pullicino Orlando says:
        MONDAY, 3 MARCH (2008) AT 1220HRS
        Dearest Daphne,
        Thank you for shedding a human light on the situation. I am now at home, unable to attend University in peace, because I know that if I do I will be bombarded with questions. To add insult to injury, Labour journalists are adding me on Facebook, in an attempt to scrounge up some dirt, no doubt. I call for these people to leave me alone, let me be. Let us be. I was enraged when they used your son for political gain. I was also targeted by Super One on the same day – they filmed me for a substantial amount of time, so much so that I was prompted by my friends to stop gesticulating wildly. Obviously, using clips of me showing public disgust at Sant’s behaviour could not be used on Super One, especially once I put glasses on, which made me look all the more like my mother, a candidate for MLP. Hats off to your son for telling them off! You should honestly be proud of him. The unprecedented lows that they have reached – using children for political gain and infantile propaganda, has only attracted disgust! I have made it public that I have particular political affiliations. And while I encourage my mother to follow what she feels is right, I have defended my right to an opinion, which she has gracefully accepted. This is in no way an attack on my mother’s credibility as a politician. I think she is a clever woman who can give a lot to the MLP if she is given the chance to so do. No, I was not informed by my mother about the situation, because she seems to not have known anything about it. No, Alfred Sant did not inform my mother. He kept it within an inner circle, ignoring the fact that his candidate’s ex-husband was going to be under fire and her daughter (a first-time voter) would, along with her father, suffer considerably for no apparent reason. You are not a man of honour, Dr.Sant. Nor are you a hero. Nor are you capable of running a country. The ‘hamalli’ at University refused to stand by your side – and I was one of them. Your deceitful tactics have jolted you into a low that is yet to be defined. Non, je ne regrette rien? Well Done! I hope you did not show the same contempt for your own daughter as you have shown to the daughter of one of your candidates! Thanks for making my father the HERO that he now is. I am more proud of him than I ever was. Thanks again, Daphne. Have a lovely day :)

  22. Twanny says:

    This is pure harassment. And probably also a criminal offense.

    [Daphne – Offence not offense. No, actually there isn’t a law against writing about public figures. The presiding magistrate spelled this out in court when magistrate Herrera and her lawyer sought to obtain a ‘protection order’ against me, stopping me from writing about her. He said it would have serious implications for ‘il-liberta tal-istampa’. But I had a plan B in any case: to proceed with writing about Kermit and Miss Piggy. I would have LOVED to see Stephen Tonna Lowell and Consuelo Herrera seek an injunction against me to prevent me writing about Muppets.]

    Saw Joseph at Tarragon also…issa daqshekk.

    • apg says:

      What? With that same last night’s gathering of sorts?

      • Isard du Pont says:

        Don’t you think Daphne would have mentioned him if he was there with them? I think Il mingell is speaking about some other night.

        Tarragon is rapidly becoming the political chav in-place, which is a shame because I hear it is an excellent restaurant.

  24. Alan says:

    @Whoa, there!

    a) Consuelo Scerri Herrera, Jose Herrera, Robert Musumeci and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando are public figures.

    b) In the case of Consuelo particularly, she does not have a private life per se, by default. That’s what blog-posts since the end of January have been pointing out.

    c) What she does, whether in her public life or her private life, is subject to public interest issues.

    d) Jose Herrera shouted ‘F’gh*xx Gonzi’ in parliament only a few days ago. This made it a very bad idea for the magistrate, her PN politician lover, and more so Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando to be seen with him at a restaurant in the immediate aftermath, because it signifies approval of what he did. Consuelo may be his sister, but she is also a magistrate.

    e) Was there anything remotely strange about the conjunction of people on that dinner table? Yes.

    f) Does Daphne write in the mainstream media? Yes. This blog is very mainstream – probably one of the most mainstream at the moment. She is a long-established newspaper columnist, too.

    g) Does the law give her the right to report on the activities of public persons? Yes. If Consuelo and Robert were at dinner with their parents or with some anonymous friends, Daphne would have had no story and wouldn’t have bothered. It was the presence of Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and of Jose Herrera that made the story. And you know that.

    h) Do journalists report “hot news”, and even seek it because that means they are good at their jobs? Yes.

    i) Did the LLD or thereabouts I presume you have come free in a packet of Twistees?

    This blog-post is nothing but good reporting and fair comment.

  25. free falling says:

    Dear Jeffrey – many pitied you during your outburst when faced by Alfred Sant, as you wept and begged for mercy.

    Thousands were taken in and gave you their vote, but they have now realised that the weeping and begging was due to fear and revealed an inherent weakness in your psychological makeup.

    You do not deserve to represent anyone, Nationalist or Labour, any longer.

    Stick to the day job.

    • Paul Bonnici says:

      Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando is nothing but a self-promoting, opportunistic narcissist. The PN needs to get rid of this character.

    • Ta' ninu says:

      No, I disagree. He BELONGS to the PL. He’ll really be in his element there.

  26. Bormliza says:

    Any guess who the other guests were? Stephen Spiteri and his girlfriend the Gudja hairdresser or his wife the nutritionist? Arrigo? Mugliette?

  27. Another John says:

    Twanny,

    Harassment is the way the Super One crew hounds people, including Daphne and her sisters. Writing about where public persons paid out of the public purse – politicians and controversial magistrates – are dining is not harassment.

    • Tudor Kaye says:

      that’s the real harrasement … from the labour elves at super one. Like they hounded Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando. Today they are not even hounding him, WHY? They’re hounding DCG because truth will out. and truth has the habit of offending offenders.

  28. Alan says:

    We need a comic interlude here.

    There is a brilliant ventriloquist called Jeff Dunham. Absolutely amazing. One of his characters is called Jose Jalapeno. He is a Mexican pepper …. “on a stiiiiiiik!” This is just one of many clips that will have you in stitches.

  33. Il mingell says:

    Sure it was a different night…some months ago.

  34. jomar says:

    Only the Speaker of the House can take action against Jose Herrera for swearing at the Prime Minister.
    If nothing is done about it, then Daphne should start a thread on this subject and her blog will probably get as many, if not more ‘hits’ than the hundreds of thousands it got regarding the Consie’s affair.

    With regard to Pullicino Orlando, what can one say? He is obviously biting the hand which fed him another plum only days before he decided to dine out with the wrong crowd.

    For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, even more so at election time.

  35. Dominic says:

    All the arguments about whether this is harassment or not would go away if you would just delay your post by a couple of hours.

    [Daphne – Why would I bother, exactly? The Maltese mindset: try and stay out of trouble and keep your head below the parapet. And look where that’s got us. Lovely.]

    The importance of the story is who she was having dinner with, not that she is there now.

    [Daphne – That’s why you’ll never make a good journalist.]

    Honestly, if some nut-job went and attacked her and then later in court said “I was angry with the magistrate because of what I read on Daphne’s blog and I knew where to find her at dinner because the blog told me”, although legally it would be fine for you, how would you feel about it? Many times you have ripped into your targets in the blog saying, “He just can’t understand that just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.”

    [Daphne – Why would a nut-job attack the magistrate? I think perhaps you should address this argument to the magistrate and Super One, with respect to me.]

    Put it another way. Would this post be less informative and useful about the behaviour of the magistrate and who she consorts with if you waited until she had left?

    [Daphne – Yes. Internet is about immediacy. I understand this, hence the success of this blog. Others, like you, do not. That’s your problem and not mine.]

    • Dominic says:

      “Why would a nut-job attack the magistrate?” Because, they are, er, nuts! Nut jobs sometimes attack people who have become famous because of an obsession (e.g. Lennon’s killer) But you don’t answer the question. Although legally fine, how would you feel if somebody attacked the magistrate because they read where she was on your blog?

      Feelings and acceptability come into it, not just whether it is legal. As you advised Raphael on an earlier post,

      “I imagine you belong to the school of thought – the very same school embraced by the more Sicilian of our compatriots – that as long as it’s legal then it’s acceptable. I’m sorry to have to drag you kicking and screaming into an approximation of developed thought on the subject, Raphael, but not all that is legal is acceptable…”

      Do you think publishing where she is in real time is acceptable? Would it be fine to have someone follow her and have a permanent live stream video of her with a GPS signal on a map of where to find her?

      “That’s why you’ll never make a good journalist”

      Please don’t bristle up and attack me. I support what you are doing and hope to help you to be more effective by refining your approach. I was always told that to attack the person rather than the argument was a Labour trait anyway.

  36. Fanon says:

    All those arguing that the magistrate’s public profile means that she doesn’t have “a private life per se” (such as ‘Alan’) I suggest you go back to the law books, mate.

    A public profile does NOT negate your right to privacy, and regardless of Daphne’s bravado, I think she’s cutting it close to the bone with this blog post.

    [Daphne – Well, I have news for you. I’ve worked in the media for 20-odd years and I know the rules. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to prevent me, or anyone else, publishing information about where a magistrate and some politicians ate their dinner. This is completely different from breaking into their home to take pictures of them eating while in that home. If they don’t want other people to know that they were in a restaurant, they shouldn’t have gone there. End of story. Quite frankly, I’m never surprised when it’s the Labour voters who come out with this rubbish. It’s not so much that they’re protecting a Labour magistrate, but that they just DON’T UNDERSTAND free speech issues and want another chance to prove it.]

    Naming the precise restaurant they were dining at was not the smartest of moves – writing this post while simply limiting the description to “a certain restaurant in St Paul’s Bay”, or writing about the dinner only once it was over, would have been much smarter.

    [Daphne – Smarter in what way, exactly? Grow up, please. It’s becoming increasingly obvious just how cut off this country is from reality.]

    I though Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando had better taste. How can you trust such people?

      That’s a question that should be addressed to Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s partner in respect of the magistrate. Mrs Musumeci, too, thought that the magistrate had no secret agenda when she befriended her husband, and that she didn’t pose a threat to her relationship because she was older and physically unattractive while Mrs Musumeci, like Jeffrey’s partner, is lovely. Famous last thoughts.

      • Hmmm says:

        Does the magistrate keep both her hands on the table when seated next to Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando?

    I hope we won’t see Jeffery Pullicino Orland crying his heart out next time he’s in the news for the wrong reasons like he did in the Mistra case.
