I guess so, although the fact you know them could easily lead one to believe it’s a personal thing.

[Daphne – I get it. So with your reasoning, it’s best for journalists to avoid knowing people so that they can write about them without it being thought ‘personal’. A journalist who writes about politics HAS TO know as many politicians as possible and speak to them as often as possible. That’s the way it works. ]

You see I don’t know John Dalli. So I would have to take whatever you say as gospel, and I’m far too worldly to accept anything anyone says or writes without a little pinch of salt. In this case, I apologise for doubting you. You were right all along.

Boring. This war is getting very old, very fast. The rebels need to stop being 21st century Facebook wimps and get used to the fact that some of them will have to die on the way to Tripoli. A no-fly zone will achieve precisely nothing. I could explain why, but I’d have to be paid. I don’t do comedy (“penny-a-laugh”? I’ve never laughed on this blog. I was always fuming with anger.)

As for that Guardian article, “Britain may seek access to old bases in Malta”? What, Kalafrana airfield? Hal Far? I mean really.

John Dalli’s bag must be full enough by now to hang it up for good. At his age he should try to repent, keep quiet and stop appearing on TV and newspapers. The Maltese have had enough of this leech.

timesofmalta.com/maltatoday.com.mt commenters take it to Los Angeles. You just have to read the flood of moronic remarks beneath this piece. How revealing: defensiveness, inferiority complex, xenophobia, literalism and above all – no sense of humour.

Can the police prosecute bully-boy “ex-ufficio”?

I’ve never really had an opinion on John Dalli either way to be honest. I’ve always thought your rants (for want of a better word) against him, were some kind of personal vendetta. I now know you were right all along.

[Daphne – The trouble is that the people who read my stuff tend to forget that I actually know the people I write about.]
