That egomaniac Dalli has wound up in the Financial Times' leading article
Published:

The leading article in the Financial Times (9 March) includes the immortal words:
John Dalli, Malta’s member of the European Commission, brushed aside Col Muammer Gaddafi’s atrocities last week with the suggestion that Europe should leave the bloodstained Libyan dictator alone. Mr Dalli owns a house in Tripoli and is a former director of a glass manufacturing company there.
Perhaps Mr Dalli’s spokesman will now ring the newspaper and berate its editor for taking his words out of context. This is because he still doesn’t understand the real problem: that he took the context out of his words.

How about we start drafting him a nice letter of resignation? I’ll make him a free gift of one:
The Prime Minister
Castille etc etc Malta
Dear Lawrence [handwritten],
I have served my country these many years etc etc striving to do my utmost etc etc. I feel, however, that my position is now untenable. I put Malta’s interest first etc etc. Malta’s voice is no longer heard etc etc I take full responsibility etc etc.
Therefore I am tending my resignation, with immediate effect etc etc.
Yours faithfully, [handwritten]
John Dalli

And Bob’s your uncle.
More chance of finding bird shit in a cuckoo clock.
Dalli might add a post scriptum:
PS: Can I get my parliamentary seat back? Please!
@ H.P
And drag his snout out of the trough? Fat chance.
Pigs will be whizzing around at MIA before Johnny Cash would even dream of offering to do the gentlemanly thing, and ride off into the sunset.
I can imagine Lawrence’s reply (although I think the resignation letter should go to Barroso):
Dear John (handwritten)
I accept at once your resignation, which to be honest, I had been waiting for for a week now.
Despite the circumstances of your resignation, on behalf of the Maltese people, I have to thank you for the services you rendered to Malta especially in the last week or so. Never before has the name of Malta been on everybody’s lips in the EU corridors of power.
You have also managed, perhaps unknowingly and unintentionally, to make Joseph’s massive advertising campaign for Malta in the leading European papers, and all this for free.
I suggest you now consider retiring. I understand you have a nice holiday retreat in Tripoli that you have not been using very much while you were serving your four-year term in Brussels.

This is kids’ stuff. How about sitting down in a lotus position, pouring a can of petrol over the head and lighting a cigarette?
But that may be mistaken for the act of a hero or a martyr!
Why not send him some boxes? He should be packing his office by now and heading home (Libya)?
I cannot even pity the guy any more because one does not pity someone who constantly shoots himself in the foot.
Gaddafi can provide a private jet for the transportation from Brussels to Tripoli. One of the jets seen leaving Libya yesterday landed in Brussels. Who knows?
Tonio Fenech?
I agree with you, Baxxter.
Daphne, the sad thing is that despite all your efforts at exposing this rogue (supposedly a PN veteran) he will unfortunately get away with it, and we’re left to sort out the problems he’s landed us with.
Everyone gets away with it here
Fat lot of good will this comment do for direct foreign investment.
I hear that Joe Sammut’s shredder is working overtime.
@Zorro. A person can’t get away with something for ever.Eventually he/she will leave a clue and be found out.
John Wayne rides into the sunset, not Johnny Cash.
