In reply to maryanne.

You’re only entrapped if you want to be entrapped.

Had he a modicum of common sense and decency he should have reported it immediately and not let himself be ‘entrapped’. This is not a naive young person but a seasoned politician. Entrapment, my a**e.

Daphne,how come there is no mention anywhere in your blog that by coincidence the offices of John Dalli have been broken into and computers have been stolen which obviously had certain HOT information relating to this mystery.Do you think John Dalli will now blame YOU KNOW WHO for this breakin.Amazing how these things happen.

[Daphne – John Dalli’s offices have NOT been broken into and his computers have NOT been stolen. Where on earth did you get that from? Oh goodness, you’re not getting confused about this, are you? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/18/anti-smoking-campaigners-accuse-tobacco-lobby-burglary It was the offices of the European Smoke Free Partnership and the European Public Health Alliance that were broken into – absolutely nothing to do with John Dalli or his office. Kemm thawdu, marelli.]

In reply to David S. Even if it was entrapment, there are no kudos for Dalli. He wasn't fit for the job.

I am under the impression that somewhere, most probably on TV, I heard John Dalli admit that he knew about the communication between Silvio Zammit and Swedish match. Could it have been during the interview live via phone during the programme TVHEMM? Did anyone else hear him?

So true. I was always of the impression that he got away with murder so frequently (metaphorically of course) that he thought himself invincible but isn’t that true for all those who eventually fall from grace from substantial heights?

So now it’s Tonio Borg who’s replacing him it appears and hopefully Simon Busuttil replacing Tonio Borg. Let’s close the leadership race now and face the election with some some self respect and the prospect of a winning chance.

Note his ‘reaction’ to the €60 million claim: he is caught between trying to act surprised and reacting to the quantum of the claim.

It is so stiff and rehearsed – shameful.

When he gave the interview the figure had been around for hours and obviously he was well aware of it.
