Put away that flag at once, Marlene. It's against the rules. Perhaps you can tuck it beneath Renato's wig, qabel ma jerga jmut ghall-barrani.
Marlene Mizzi on Facebook:
I find the beahviour of the PM and his Ministers quite scandalous- especially to our youth- when non-performance, lack of accountability and dismal results ( read ” resignation” in other civilised democracies) are defended to high heaven by the PM and deputy PM – Austin Gatt and Carm Mifsud Bonnici are a case in point.
Ask yoursleves if any of you common mortals had to fail in doing your jobs properly , indeed f***k up royaly, if you would still be kept in your jobs? Our young people have grown in a 25 year culture that ,if you have the right patron you can get away with anything …literally get away with murder! The moral fibre of our society has been eroded and real democracy is non-existent. This is what 25 years of legal dictatorship begets!
———–
Oh, do shut up, Marlene. “You common mortals” – why not “we common mortals” – ghax int ilhaqt u m’ghadekx tifla ta’ hajjata mir-Rabat b’hanut tal-gugarelli?
God, how sickening.
“Our young people” have grown up in peace, prosperity, and with access to everything they could possibly want and need to develop their full potential. If you don’t believe me, ask your daughter, not that I’d trust the judgement of somebody brainwashed from birth by such a mother.
Why, “our young people” are even EU citizens, no thanks to you and your stupid, atavistic party of creeps, freaks, dinosaurs, coffin-dodgers and Luddites.
And you still haven’t told “our young people” whether you voted to deny them EU citizenship and all its wonderful opportunities and choices. You even became hysterical when somebody asked you that question to camera.
You considered it to be an invasion of your privacy. Imagine that, eh? The very idea of a politician being expected to tell the electorate how she voted on a major issue. How undemocratic is that? We must be living in a dictatorship.
It was MY generation of young people who grew up as you describe, Mrs Mizzi, in a 16-year “culture that, if you have the right patron you can get away with anything…literally with murder!”
Your grammar and syntax are appalling. I can’t believe you went to St Dorothy’s Convent. You are an embarrassment, and in more ways than one, to the school your beloved party of democrats closed down for a while back then with the help of its democratic police force.
I’ll stay mum on the subject of whether you’re an embarrassment to the University of Malta, because after all, even Anglu Farrugia somehow graduated from that.
So you think the moral fibre of our society has been eroded, and that democracy is nonexistent, that this is a legal dictatorship. I really don’t know how you managed to create the impression that you are bright, Marlene.
Is it perhaps because you are so loud, over-confident and pushy – qualities which, as we have seen demonstrated by Franco Debono of late, are so often mistaken in Maltese culture for signs of intelligence or superiority?
You are pushing 60 – in effect, yet another Labour dinosaur poised to grab at her Kartanzjan, pretending to be a girl scout – but sound just like somebody not particularly clever who’s pushing 16. If this is your take on the present, I’d just love to hear your take on the years of destruction 1971 to 1987.
If what you see about you now is the erosion of democracy, please tell me exactly how you would describe the ransacking of the law courts, of the archbishop’s headquarters, of the leader of the Opposition’s home, of Opposition party clubs, the burning down of the one independent newspaper that was critical of your beloved Labour government, the closure of church-run schools, the closure of private hospitals and the expulsion from Malta of the religious order who ran one, the seizing by fair means or foul all the private banks to leave the state completely in control of loans as a tool for controlling individuals, the signing of a secret pact with North Korea for weapons and crowd-control training to be used against Maltese citizens, the dispersal of vast and peaceful protest meetings with firearms, truncheons, tear-gas, stones and violence, the murder of individuals for political reasons, the fear, the poverty and above all, the rampant, awful, soul-destroying ignorance.
Oh, and Marlene, something else: aren’t you supposed to be reading for a doctorate (why bother, at your age, or is this a Labour thing)? Then you should know that what makes a dictatorship is not the length of time a person or party spends in government, but whether people have voted and can still vote that person or party in or out.
And it isn’t 25 years. As Malta’s only businesswoman gay-in-the-village (so to speak) – a woman who runs two toy shops like a dog that can walk on its hind legs – you should be able to count. It’s 14 years, not 25. The Nationalist Party has been in government since 1998, not 1987.
Surely you of all people would remember that, because in 1996 Prime Minister Alfred Sant made you Token Woman Chairman of Sea Malta, a post for which you were no doubt supremely qualified by virtue of being the owner of two toyshops, a woman and, obviously, a Laburista.
And I didn’t hear any of your friends scream ‘Nepotizmu sfrenat’ or even ‘hbieb tal-hbieb’, or even ‘tokenism’. And when you were mocked for insisting on being called ‘chairman’ and rejecting ‘chairwoman’, I stood up for you and said you were correct.
The incoming Nationalist government, dictators that they are, kept you on, right up until the time that they were voted in again. I feel the need to put that in italics because you seem not to understand the nature of democracy: majority of votes = government, not dictatorship.
Then they kept you on some more, until you decided that the government was not going to be allowed to sell Sea Malta, because these were your decisions to make. You forgot that, as a political appointee, you had two choices before you: implement government policy or resign.
It hadn’t occurred to you that, by being kept on by the Nationalist government, you were the political appointee of that government. You still thought of yourself as being a Labour appointee.
Well, never mind. In a few months’ time, you will move out of your toy-shop and into the chairmanship of some major state corporation – not because you’re competent (even if you were competent), but because you’re Labour and doing what you’re doing.
And then suddenly Malta will become a democracy again, and the government will not be a dictatorship. And you will have a bigger, more expensive official car, funded by the taxpayer, in which to deliver toys for your Early Learning Centre franchise, and you can stop using your husband’s magisterial limo for that purpose.
When you’re on your next Facebook rant, Marlene, please explain to your Facebook friends why you think you are not getting away with murder or contributing to the erosion of democracy by using a magistrate’s taxpayer-funded car and chauffeur to deliver toys for your business, just because you are married to him.
Kemm int mara loud, self-important, stupida u antipatika, miskina. Il-vera Laburista.
Quite frankly, you are where you truly belong.

Wow, I would not like to be on the receiving end.
[Daphne – Stupid, loud people bring out the worst in me.]
The best, I would say.
Yes they do, but only when they switch sides.
Brava Daphne, somebody had to say it. The cheek of this woman is unbelievable but then, she is talking to Labour voters and knows they will swallow all the cr-p she utters.
”fail in doing your jobs”? “still be kept in jour jobs”? St Dorothy’s?
[Daphne – St Dorothy’s Convent’s catchment area in Mdina meant that the school was full of girls like that, but in my time we had very strict English-language teachers who ironed out most of the quirks, kinks and problems. They don’t seem to have been so lucky in Marlene Cacciattolo’s day. She writes and speaks like somebody who went to St Joseph’s.]
Not just St Joseph’s, but St Joseph’s in Blata l-Bajda.
so st dorothy is better than st joseph and st joseph blata worse than st joseph sliema, imagine she went to a goverment school x’kontu tghidu ,
[Daphne – Nothing. Because people don’t acquire pretensions from having gone to a state school. But people like Marlene Cacciattolo acquire pretensions from having gone to a convent school. It’s her pretensions and her absolute vulgarity which are insufferable, and not the facts of her birth or her schooling.]
I have to object to what is being said here about St Joseph, Blata l-Bajda. That was my old school from 1963 to 1974.
When I was there, they had a very strict policy that we were only allowed to speak English during school time. If you didn’t, you got into trouble.
We too had some excellent English-language teachers. Actually, we had some very good teachers in our other subjects as well. I believe most of us who graduated within that timeframe left with a well- rounded education.
A large number of us went on to university, which was unusual in those days as most girls were not encouraged to go on for tertiary education.
I found that I got on very well, both in sixth form and university, with girls who had attended St Dorothy’s, and I have friends that I keep in touch with to this day.
It was girls from Sacred Heart, who I couldn’t stand. I found the vast majority of them to be pretentious, snobby and downright annoying.
Wow! Well done! :)
What a f**king idiot she is! God save us.
“Ask yoursleves if any of you common mortals had to fail in doing your jobs properly , indeed f***k up royaly, if you would still be kept in your jobs?”
The MLP kept Mintoff, KMB, Sant and now Joseph, did it not?
Further comments are unnecessary.
Ms Mizzi must be quite unaware of how her democratic Mintoffian regime treated the second-year housemen at St Lukes Hospital obeying their legitimate union’s directives, in the summer of 1977.
Ah, and if the table of the board-room of the Kamra tal-Kummerc could talk, what tales would be heard.
You are a sick bitch and it gives me intense pleasure you comprehend how your twisted and devious mind works.
I’d just love to see your face if Labour wins the next elections. God I’d pay to see such a spectacle. It must be just like paying to see a caged baboon and tease it by all sorts of provokations.
Get your head checked….well, its really a waste of money so on second thoughts, don’t fucking bother. Asshole!
[Daphne – Why would you see anything on my face when Labour wins the election? After all, I’ve been expecting it since February 2008. Caged baboon? I tend to be quite inscrutable. Also, I don’t think of politics as football teams, as you appear to do. I suggest you work out your frustrations elsewhere. Franco Debono has, I believe, a couple of cocks and chickens. Also, in idiomatic English, asshole is used only for men. If you use it for women, people will automatically assume you are a refugee from the set of Borat.]
Oh, so it’s if Labour wins the next elections now.
It looks like they are retreating and now they are not feeling that optimistic.
provokations?
You are one big sour puss, mandango70.
Go and get a quick degree from the University your beloved Socialist regime decimated, so Joseph can appoint you to some important position (horizontal or otherwise) IF Labour wins.
Mandango, go back to your bar of lemon-flavoured Desserta.
Dictatorship seems to be quite common in the PL vocabulary at the moment. Maybe she can ask Adrian Vassallo for help in defining it. Or maybe The cabinet members in the immoral ‘govt’ of 1981-1987 can give a helping hand.
The only “legal dictatorship” I remember in my lifetime happened between 1981 and 1987 when, legally, a minority party was allowed to stay in government.
What cheek.
Marlene never told us what her plans for Sea Malta were.
If she finds her husband’s car convenient to deliver toys, whose blame is it thinking it could have been the same with a ship?
I think stupid, loud people bring our the BEST in you. A superlative article – not a superfluous or misplaced word, each one is perfectly crafted to fit together in (yet another) masterpiece.
” indeed f***k up royaly, ”
That type of language should get her fired, shouldn’t it?
[Daphne – From what? Her toy shop? The Labour Business Forum, where her colleagues are even worse?]
Both – for the swearing and the spelling. Three asterisks? Is there a silent letter in the “F” word that I’m not aware of? She really fucxked that one up royalLy.
And she doesn’t even seem to know that “royally” has got a double “l” in it, the fool.
So, according to this amnesic clown, real democracy is non-existent now.
What was it then when for three whole years the country’s Constitutional Court was in suspended animation?
I have to assume that in her “democracy” the powers that be are entitled to flout the constitution.
[Daphne – Oh, she’s just a ruddy hypocrite. She knows exactly what the situation was back then and that many of the perpetrators are still in the party’s midst. But she seeks to justify it all because the alternative is to face the fact that she made morally corrupt/pig-ignorant choice in voting for them. This is hell-bent denial we’re looking at. Marlene Cacciattolo was at the University of Malta in the early to mid-1970s, when Mintoff was doing his worst. She can hardly claim ignorance.]
Don’t blame her. Was it not her idol Mintoff who said “Jien nigi x’nitnejjek mill-Kostituzzjoni”?
Dawn kollha wlied dawk li kienu jimmarcjaw fil-Brigata.
Mediocrity begets mediocrity. Marlene Mizzi is just a small tip of the Labour Party’s iceberg.
Another example of what I call the undeserving rich: the same people who have become rich under the PN legislature are the same people who moan and bullshit the most.
In their heart of hearts, they thank God that Dr. Lawrence Gonzi and his team know what they’re doing economicwise, but publically they harp about democracy; something they obviously don’t know the true meaning of or don’t care if they do.
And there are many like Marlene Mizzi. The whole Labour Party in fact. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves during this so-called ‘legal dictatorship’.
Doesn’t this silly woman know that “common mortals” have unions and the Department of Labour (or whatever it’s called today) to defend them should they f**k-up and as a result are “not kept” in their jobs.
Ministers & MPs have the same rights. They don’t have a union, but depend on their boss and fellow travelers to defend their rights when they’re called up before a kangaroo court.
Brava, Daphne, x’hasla magisterjali tajtha. Jekk ikollha bzonn xi xugaman biex tixxotta, nistgha nibghatilha wiehed bil-limousine tal-Qorti.
Prosit DCG you are fantastic. Complete KO.
“Is it perhaps because you are so loud, over-confident and pushy…” – spot on.
“I feel the need to put that in italics because you seem not to understand the nature of democracy: majority of votes = government, not dictatorship” – perfect.
You always manage to find the right words to expose these people for what they really are. Thank you.
Every time I watch her saunter through Republic Street, a very apt expression comes to mind, ”Mutton dressed as lamb”.
Add her Mintoffjana mentality and you have one screwed-up tart.

Funny how this woman has the cheek (again, this seems to be a common thread in my comments today) to speak about resignations.
Her husband, Magistrate Mizzi, the non-common mortal, has been lambasted by Chief Justice Degaetano because he has retained his position in a sports association. Magistrate Mizzi holds steadfastly to the two posts which the Chief Justice has declared, clearly and unequivocally, unacceptable behaviour. And yet he does not resign from either.
So much for the resignation culture.
I will not even start on legal dictatorship.
Suffice it to say, they want to lump the PN with their sins, but they will not succeed in doing that. Freedom is not something you only enjoy, but it is something you breathe.
We breathe freedom now. We know. We know how it was back in the “Golden Years”. We know the lingering fear, the sensation that walls had ears, the “we” and “them” when the “them” could very well spy on you and refer everything to the Regime.
Legal dictatorship – now that’s an oxymoron.
Marlene, if this were a legal dictatorship you wouldn’t have the right to smear our faces with the muck you write and yet, we have to grin and bear it because you have a right to say it.
I had a print-out of your shower (hasla) and I have in mind to frame it for posterity
