Jean Agius even though infamously ultra-Mintoffian, wasn’t the only Labour Soho connection – quite the contrary, Aguis was a ħut żgħir in a pond of bigger fish who danderly plyed their trade.

Perhaps the Malta High Commision Piccadilly party crowd objected to Dom’s administration, but I can”t imagine who else.

Sometime in the late 80s I was on this five-week course in the Swiss town of Rheinfelden where you could walk across a bridge into Germany. I still remember the first time I did this and was returning to Switzerland.

As soon as the border guard saw the green passport and started to examine it I could see an immediate sense of fascination coupled with suspicion. I was taken in; questions, checks on computers and a marked sense of disappointment when it turned out that I was just a normal, law-abiding European after all.

Raphael Vassallo actually i’ll take back the ‘ironic’ part. There’s nothing ironic about it at all: lies, more lies and deliberate distortions are about the only things you can really expect from that direction anyway

Andrew Galea Well lets face it… she lost the plot a while ago

James Debono even in malta protesters burned an italian flag…

Miriam Dalli and they shouted during protests …

Karl Zammit German ‎@ james i burn an italian flag every world cup! lol

James Portelli SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE buhahaha

Guido Farrugia Come off it Raph….. who Cares what Daphne says anyways!!!! She looked so darned stupid trying to intervene

James Portelli what a colossal gaffe

Raphael Vassallo lol – she evidently didn’t run a spellcheck on her latest headline: ‘The debearded wonder and his army of Lord of the Rings afiscionados and Che wannabes are planning a revoluzzjoni kbira’

Miriam Dalli beware: we are armed

Raphael Vassallo yeah… with dictionaries

Raphael Vassallo ‎…afiscionado called Wanda…

Karl ‘Kaiser’ Farrugia Raph, you’re doing it all wrong… Daphne is an internet troll (and looks like a real life one too). You DO NOT feed the troll. Just let her preach to her fascist mono-cellular-brained pygmies, while you focus on thing that are REALLY important in life. Or at least more important than her. Like Grande Fratello.

Raphael Vassallo Yep. Very good point Karl. Any LOTR aficionado (which would be me by the way) should know better than to feed a troll…

Raphael Vassallo Took her a while but she finally corrected it. Clap, clap…

Guido Farrugia Corrected what? She could’nt have, could she? Never heard of anyone purchasing brain cells!!!

Anna Zammit She’s a waste of space, why bother?

[Daphne – The irony escapes my stalkers: they expend so much time and effort on discussing why I should be ignored and not bothered about. Il-vera braindead u ffissati. Oh, and James Portelli must be the James Portelli who is Julia Farrugia’s boyfriend, and whose father was a sort of Mintoff factotum on various state corporation boards. ]

Patrick Galea i know it’s daphne, but it’s also lord of the rings, so i’m a bit torn on this one… :D

Marco Attard Add “nerds” to the list of things Defni both hates and uses as an insult.

Karl ‘Kaiser’ Farrugia Simple minds have simple ideas. This includes sticking to stereotypes like it’s a gospel.

Karl ‘Kaiser’ Farrugia I think the best quote, and one of my personal favourites, in this case would be “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people”. Daphne is happily standing somewhere between average and small.

Raphael Vassallo ah, boo, i left out the best bit at the end:

David Friggieri You can almost imagine a prison camp run by those folks. Nice, neat categories of undesirables: ‘Lord of The Rings fan’, ‘Unmarried’, ‘Maltese intellectual scum’, ‘Folks who once wore a Che Guevara T-shirt’…

Josanne Cassar and a special pen reserved just for…obsessive jealous stalkers

David Friggieri Oh and ‘Men who fathered children latish in life’. That’s a big no-no.

Jacques René Zammit Ich bin ein wankellectual.

Karl ‘Kaiser’ Farrugia I have this weird feeling that it (not an error) was bullied/molested by a somewhat unintelligent kid, wearing a Che tshirt, who comes from a Labour family, and whose parents were unmarried, and as it turns out, was a LOtR fan (taking the list from David’s previous comment). Oh, and hung out with radio celebrities. Must be the only valid reason for this idiot being who it is.

David Friggieri And while we’re at it. Does anyone know where The Times de Malte got that brilliant idea to place a jester’s hat on Joseph Muscat’s head in its cartoons? (I’m no big fan of JM but still want to know the logic behind it…)

Jacques René Zammit It’s jester joke. Geddit?

David Friggieri What’s the difference between John Galliano and…? Ejja, ghidilhom Gwakk. hehe

Jacques René Zammit do you know the secret of comedy david?

Andrew Vinci i’d say she has a crush on you

Raphael Vassallo andrew… i’m scared to even ask who you’re referring to, and what you mean. please don’t give me those kind of frights ever again, ever…

David Darmanin Ejja Raph, you’re in denial. You quite like her too :)

Raphael Vassallo right, that’s it. i hereby officially resign from the human race…

Andrew Vinci hehe :)

Matthew Vella Qaluli li kien hawn qatta’ wannabes fuq din it-thread…

Mona Farrugia Malli rajt ‘wannabes’ ghidt ha nidhol…
about an hour ago.

Matthew Vella ‎@ Claire – if being a LOTR fan is the way to its heart I suggest driving a blunt spoon through it. Infected with cat aids.

[Daphne – Is this for real, or are you making it up? You mean to say that these are actually people in their late 30s and early 40s, talking like teenagers behind the bicycle shed and speculating about crushes? Tal-biki. Arrested development tal-babaw. As for Matthew Vella, he hates anyone he considers to have been privileged, but if you’re a builder with lots of money, that’s fine by him. It’s the other sort he can’t stand. Yes, driving a blunt spoon infected with cat AIDS through my heart, indeed: I’d like to hear the pants-pissing coward say that to my face. Nice editor they’ve got there at Malta Today. Really classy. As for that discussion on whether Raphael has a crush on me or I on him, I’m guessing that he hasn’t told them how he knows me.]

)The Eritrean people in Libya can always go back to their country where they are sorely needed. They wil be too much of a strain on the economy of Malta; an island bereft of any resources,which gets 60 per cent of it’s potable water from the sea.

Probably catering, then.

“We DON’T love him. His hands are stained with blood. With children’s blood. We love Omar Al Mukthar who fought for twenty years for independence and gave us this flag. This is the flag of independent Libya.

Thank you. We thank all the Maltese people and the Prime Minister. He’s one of the best. And it’s the news reports that say that, not just I. He saved the lives of thousands of people. Not just Maltese – from China, from all over the world. We thank everyone and we apologise to Malta’s police. Thank you, thank you.”

[Daphne – Because once you recognise the state – not its ruler – you have to accept its emissaries.]
