Note to Malta Today: this is a sympathy card. Sending one to Carm Mifsud Bonnici would be an insulting and deeply offensive gesture.
Malta Today is running a news story telling us that the Nationalist Party has asked supporters “to send a sympathy card to Mifsud Bonnici”.
It’s not a sympathy card, you dolts. It’s a message of support. A sympathy card is what you send to the recently bereaved, which doesn’t mean those who have actually died, of course, because they’re dead and can’t read, but those who mourn.

It’s a sympathy card, nevertheless – in sympathy with his grief for the death of his ever pitiable political career, you nitwit.
Imbasta trid tghallimna kif nuzaw l-Ingliz.
[Daphne – “You nitwit.” When insults miss the mark so badly, the rest of your words lose all credibility, regardless of the argument. Insults must have some mark of accuracy if they are to be effective. And no, you do not send sympathy cards to people who have gone through a rough time. Ideally, you do not send a card at all, but a proper message, handwritten, in a letter. But needs must when the devil drives. Nice choice of nick, incidentally – he would have despised you.]
