Saret wisq moda f’dan il-pajjiz li nies fil-politika jaghmlu propoganda bil-familja. Din m’hiex kwistjoni ta’ IVF jew ta’ miracle children. Hi kwistjoni ta’ ipokrezija u mmaturita’.

Qisu ghax ghandna t-tfal jew ghax m’ahniex separati xi vantagg politiku. Il-poplu mhux (ix-xemx u l-qamar irid) imma nies li kapaci jmexxu bis-sincerita’ u bil-veru mhabba ghal pajjizna.

I believe the children were invited and holding them on their arms was requested so The Pope won’t bent down ,due to his venerable age.

In reply to Iz-Zabbari. Don't you know the Catholic Church loves children? Even a little too much!

Hi Daphne. I’m a regular follower of your blog and I find it as both entertaining and informative. I consider your posts and the facts stated therein as all truthful, as you frequently point out. Yesterday, however, the columnist Claire Bonello contradicted your post re the protocol procedures, or lack thereof, in your post “The Leader and his wife pull a party trick and take the children to the Palace”. Without mentioning your name or your specific blog, Dr. Bonello was quite clear as to whom and to what she was referring to. I wonder if your facts as claimed in this post of yours portray the truth or if Dr. Bonello’s version of events are closer to the truth this time.

[Daphne – Unfortunately, Claire Bonello is one of the psychotic crosses I have to bear, staring at me across rooms with those cold-fish eyes that are dead-ringers for Alfred Sant’s. Brrrrr. Creepy. She’s like her buddy Marie Benoit (nothing in common those two, except hatred for Daphne): every other piece she writes has to include a veiled negative reference to me. I didn’t know I was that interesting. It comes as a revelation – all these weirdos and losers in hot pursuit. I hope one of them hasn’t got a gun, because they’re like those wackos who take pot shots at the object of their obsession.

Claire’s neurosis has led her – an avowed ‘liberal’ and AD activist – to defend Norman Lowell’s racist girlfriend Arlette/Letty Baldacchino in her libel suit against me for calling her….Norman Lowell’s racist girlfriend. You should see them in court – heads together gossiping like best friends rather than client and lawyer: the Progressive Liberal AD Activist and the Racist Nutjob From Hell. L-aqwa li t-tnejn joboghdbu lil-Daphne. Il-vera msieken, jahasra. Ta’ min jikkumpatihom – losers A1.

There are several professional bunny-boilers in my life, and those are two of them. There’s a group of people, mainly women (including at least three at the newspaper where I work – Marie, Josanne and Herr Flick’s daughter Erika, who thought it was amusing to email me an advert for Viagra, which she certainly doesn’t need herself given that it’s been aeons since she had a man in her life) but also a couple of men, who are brought together by a common factor of thwarted ambition and resentment. It’s not my problem. It’s theirs. The way they behave, people would be forgiven for thinking that I’d taken something they believe is rightfully theirs. Such bores – all waiting for the revolution so that they can string me up. Yawn.

I am hardly going to read Claire Bondin from the arse-end of Sliema on the subject of protocol – she’s another Mona Farrugia. Must be tough, having to create yourself out of nothing. No wonder they think I had an easy ride.

Bondin’s problem now, I suspect, is that she is thoroughly disappointed in Joseph Muscat but can’t bring herself to admit it. Ho-hum: they can all bore on to their tiny hearts’ delight: Marie Benoit, Josanne Cassar, Claire Bondin, Erika Brincat, Mona Farrugia, Marisa Micallef and all the other miserable wretches. It hasn’t got them anywhere in the private sector, which is why they’re all gagging for the Joseph Revolution biex forsi isiru VIPs. Perhaps you could look at the common factor there, and it’s not journalism.]

@ H.P. Baxxter

Ghandek biex tiftahar, fis-sens kif spjegajt inti ma tantx jidhru li huma xi nies japrezzaw. F’dak is-sens, ridt nghid jien ghandi kapital minkejja m’ghandix hafna kwalifici ghandi sens komun u habbrieki. Imma nahseb illi ingenerali l-iktar li jimxu fil-hajja huma nies laghqin, gakbini, ipokriti u opportunisti, sfortunatament.

Naf min mexa ghax kapaci u haqqu pero jkollu jaghmel sforz ikbar min dawk li huma kif spjegajlek. Filwaqt li l-edukazzjoni hija tajba hafna imma mhux bilfors ghax tkun gradwat tkun kapaci iktar ghax hawn min tajjeb biex jaghmel ezami imma ma jkunx prattiku xejn.

In reply to myriam. Wow, I never expected that sort of reply and yes, yes, yes to more about this subject. I would love to keep on discussing "miracle" children. Maybe next time.

In reply to nutshell.

Was the ALMIGHTY used to offend you?

Almighty means: having unlimited power, having very great power and influence etc…

Or as a compliment?

@dawk li ma jaqblux

Kieku fl-id l-ohra Muscat ma kellux il-private member’s bill, kieku ma kien jigri xejn – ovvjament hlief ghall-umiljazzjoni ghall-PL – li JM ma mexiex mal-protokol. Huwa meta tharsu lejn l-istampa kollha taraw kemm kien stonat.

Being “semi literate” doesn’t make me a spiteful person like you. Your right though about provoking me, ( but it will be your first and last time). That’s your aim in your sad pathetic life. I bet you even managed to provoke your own poor husband. Bye-bye witch, you won’ t be hearing from me ever again. Just one last word – You a re making a lot of damage to your beloved party. KEEP IT UP DEPHNE ALMIGHTY!!!!!!!
