I wonder what the Commissioner for Children has to say.

‘Vostro onore, la ragazza non era illibata…’

Two very apt comments, Daphne.

Too many people live in cloud cuckoo land.

You very rightly uphold the speech silver/silence gold maxim when indicated.

Solicitors are lawyers who traditionally deal with any legal matter including conducting proceedings in courts.

[Daphne – Yes, except that the Maltese legal system knows them as advocates, not solicitors.]

I am not dragging in his wife. Just like Consuelo’s husband has not been dragged in.

What kind of contorted reasoning is this?

You don’t talk of a fraudster so as not to drag in the defrauded, or a murder so as not to drag in the murdered?

Heinous acts have an agent and an object. Whereas the act and the agent are of primary importance, the object is less important – and yet without object there would not be either agent or object.

So, will not discussing Mrs Herrera, can someone enlighten us on whether DR JOSE Herrera is a philanderer?

I think that at least in your subconscious, you agree with José Herrera:

I know, 16 is not 13, and he is stretching it by quite a bit, but legally he might have a valid point.

[Daphne – Absolutely not! There is the world of difference between a girl of 13 and a girl of 16, the world of difference. A 13-year-old is still mentally a child, and legally a child, too.]

Without any shadow of a doubt, the late Dr Guido Demarco brought up similar “unethical” arguments during his successful legal career, and still he served quite capably as Minister for Justice once he was elected to government.

[Daphne – You might think so. I have very different views, but will refrain from commenting.]

I dont think dragging his wife intoh this matter would do any good to anyone.

Let’s keep everything above board.
