In reply to TinaB. Oh, I see. Thanks. I had the impression that it had already been mentioned before and that I had missed it - I admit, sometimes when I am very busy/tired, I just skim through.

Has anyone ever seriously questioned why political parties should have their own TV stations?

In my view, while that situation persists, Malta will never develop into a mature democracy.

Such a shame that a small island, which could be a paradise, is instead a haven for nightmares.

You are correct about the marital status of the Boffas at the time of the incident.

Given that the closeted Pink Mafia has taken control of Super One and much of the Labour Party hierarchy, Tusk Force Anglu no longer thinks it fashionable to be macho.

So, ever the resourceful one, a Man For All Seasons and A Survivor (cue Eye of The Tiger), he uses his skills to show off his softer side.

Daphne, please allow me to use your blog to send him a message: “Trid tissue, siehbi? Mur igri ghand ir-Ronnie, Ray, Colonel Gruber jew xi Herr Flick ha jfissduk naqra”.

This “incident” pales into insignificance when compared with the defamatory calumny against Sir Paul Boffa, then a widower, when he was accompanied by his daughter Dr Hilda on official business abroad connected with the quest for Malta’s independence and the snide remarks about their accomodation in the same UK hotel.

That defamation was not fomented by anyone in the Nationalist Party but by disloyal members of the Labour Party desperately seeking to remove Boffa from the leadership of his party by fair means or foul.

[Daphne – As I recall, Paul Boffa was not a widower but was survived well into the 1980s at least by his widow. In 1981 – or was it 1987? – she had an appeal published in The Times, calling on all former Boffisti to vote for Eddie Fenech Adami’s party. The incident you describe, however, did happen and was described in detail in a recent documentary about his life. It caused the family great distress, as one imagines it would.]

Just saw Anglu Farrugia on Net News. He stated that he’s proud to represent “Laburisti tradizzjonali” or something of the like. AND he proudly compared a fat, beaming Joseph Muscat to Mintoff. Now if THAT is something to be proud of, I despair.

And here they are, attacking yet another 19-year-old student because they don’t like his father:

Hahaha – Daphne Caruana Galizia has the honour to say that she managed to reduce our future deputy PM and Minister for Justice and Home Affairs to tears, merely because she happened to point out that his daughter is chunky. My God!

[Daphne – Actually, Tina, he cried BEFORE I said his daughter is chunky. We don’t actually know what he was crying about, remember, because he omitted to tell us. He only told us that something mysterious happened when he was ‘msiefer barra minn Malta’ (as though he can be ‘msiefer gewwa Malta’) ‘mat-tifla’. Watch the clip again.]

Seriously, have any of these people ever lived outside Malta (among non-Maltese, not in a Maltese community) or at least bother to read and watch the international media?

Grow up, future deputy PM.
