Talk about putting someone in his place. Pure gold Daphne.

We already knew that from Xarabank. An ex-Gaddafi bodyguard recounted the whole story of the adopted girl.

Carm Fenech the accountant at Despott Mansions was a Mintoffjan?

They certainly hid it well, though they must have felt very reassured with Josie Attard Montalto up top and tat-Touch of Kless across the street in that snakepit hell of people who hated Mintoff’s guts and prayed every night that he would drop dead.

Ghaliex ma marrux joqghodu l-Fgura minnflok gew Milner Street tas-Sliema juru wicc b’iehor?

Great. How about a dynastic marriage then? Oooops, my mistake. Karmenu Vella’s son has already married Miriam Dalli tas-Super One.

[Daphne – Quite right, Edward. That’s why you and your father – that Laburist ahdar who kept his true political sentiments hidden from all the neighbours in Milner Street, Sliema (except possibly John Attard Montalto’s parents in the flat above yours) during the horrible 1970s and 1980s react so badly whenever I mention your hypocrisy in fighting against EU membership then rushing off to England for work at the first opportunity. Incidentally, I hear your wife is in Malta right now, so you must be at a loose end there on your ownsome in the pouring rain, which explains your sudden nostalgia.]

At this very moment I am looking at the book “My President My Son” or “One day that changed the history of Libya” by Frederick Muscat.

It was given to me and to many others when I was a student at the Upper Sec. school in Valletta.

Talk about propaganda and brainwashing! The Labour Party should hang their head in shame.

Rather than fatten the pockets of the “disadvantaged” Maltese businessmen, would it not be better to distribute it where it rightfully belongs: in Libya?

See this:

“In the periods 1987 to 1996 and 1998 to 2004 he was the joint chairman of the Libya Maltese Joint Commission which ensured the smooth development of relationship between Malta and Libya. This period covered the difficult times of the sanctions imposed by the UN on Libya. John Dalli sought to assist in all possible ways to ensure that appropriate services will continue to be enjoyed by Libya through Malta. Levels of economic activities between the two countries increased and the political relationship was reorganised.

Through this long serving function he has acquired a deep knowledge and understanding of Libya and has established a strong network at the political and executive levels of that country. He has followed the political and economic developments in Libya over the years and has kept himself current on the present developments in Libya. John Dalli is considered to be an expert on Libya and is being asked to speak about Libya in Business Meetings organised in Malta and abroad. …

… Private Consultancy.

1.Assisting commercial organisation to develop strategies to meet the challenges and exploit the opportunities of a changing geo-political environment.
2.Introducing and facilitating the establishment of western companies in the North African Economies especially Libya
