John Dalli? Joseph Muscat can keep him.
I wonder whether you watched the Surreal Idiot Show on Super One TV tonight. ‘Fis-Sustanza ma’ Robert Musumeci u Simone Cini’.
What sustanza? Snus?
John Dalli was their special guest. His shirt must have caught fire on his way out of the house, because it didn’t have any sleeves left. He wore his suit-jacket over his hairy arms, like Joe Sammut tal-Labour (my, he’s really getting into the spirit).
Obviously, he was a little thrown by the fact that he’d been caught lying yet again, this time about his non-existent judicial letter to Silvio Zammit. So he more or less opened with that after a leading question from Mrs Dominic Azzopardi.
“When OLAF told me I was under investigation I wrote to ‘dan Zammit’. I sent him an ‘ittra b’avukat, taf in, ittra legali.”
He found out he was under investigation on 11 July. He says he wrote to Zammit in August. Did it take him weeks to find a lawyer to write that letter for him?
So now the judicial letter has become a simple lawyer’s letter. Yes, right. And John Dalli the wheeler-dealer of John Dalli & Associates, a cabinet minister for all those years, would have us believe that he doesn’t know the difference between a judicial letter and a letter sent by a lawyer from his office.
The Labour Party is as loopy as he is to carry on packaging him and presenting him to its audience as one of its own.

He told The Times that it was badly reported by the media. Why didn’t he correct it, then?
Jesus Daphne you are trying so hard to make him look guilty. Tell us………. have you seen the OLAF report????
[Daphne – No, but apparently John Dalli is now Labour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????]
John Dalli is now as Labour as Lino Spiteri is Nazzjonalist.
.Guilty or not he s all yours.
[Daphne – How wrong you are, Anna. Lino Spiteri makes it quite clear that he plans to vote Labour. John Dalli makes it clear that he plans to do the same. Unfortunately for you, I do not belong to the Maltese school of thought that allows people to call themselves Nationalist while voting Labour, or vice versa. Perhaps this is because I was raised as neither, so I just cannot understand the way people identify themselves with a political party without regard to its people or policies, and keep calling themselves ‘Labour’ or ‘Nationalist’ while disagreeing with everything about that particular party. I see that kind of thinking for what it is: extremely weird and senseless. To normal people (like me), if you vote Labour you’re Labour and if you vote PN you’re Nationalist, and what you were raised as or were for 20 or 40 years has nothing to do with it. As they say about actors and films, you’re as good as your last vote, or rather, your planned next one. End of story.]
What a stupid and infantile reply. How can you comment on something you haven’t seen. Would you have us believe you are one of the Sybils?
The question is “What is the link between Dalli and the MLP?” When we find out we will kick ourselves because I am quite sure it is staring us in the face. There is something there but we cannot see it yet. Labour is much tooooo quiet on this one.
[Daphne – He’s probably bankrolling them.]
The answer must have something to do with Libya and Gaddhafi
Maybe he will be appointed by Labour as President to succeed George Abela.
I agree with you.
Well you should know something about thta
John Dalli & Associates – Silvio Zammit, Bastjan Dalli, JPO, Jesmond Mugliett, Franco Debono, Saviour Balzan, Joseph Muscat, Muammar Gaddafi (RIP).
Plus Dun Gorg Dalli.
You forgot to mention Gonzi who was probably the last maltese politician to meet him.
[Daphne – Exactly how is this significant? You had better go an examine why the ex Treasurer of the Malta Labour Party paid Gaddafi’s sons’ whore-bills and party expenses and was given millions for the purpose.]
From today’s interview, there’s one thing about Dalli which is so obvious – he’s an amazing serial cheater.
I am doubting everyone on this whole issue. Dalli, Barrosso, Kessler, Gonzi, Muscat, Bondi, Balzan, Musumeci, Maltatoday, TimesofMalta, Maltastar, Aftonbladet. Tobacco Industry. Half truths galore. Everywhere.
Cannot include Silvio because he hasn’t opened his mouth recently. Pity he used it earlier on.
But who cares about him? He most definitely doesn’t care about placing Malta in deep shit.
We need Beppe Grillo with his http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAF77c7O1Ro
Why didn’t he report ‘dan Zammit’ to the Nationalist Party? He speaks of him as if he barely knows him. And yet everybody knows that he was his canvasser and that he held meetings at his kiosk, even meetings with third parties.
He’s as brass-necked as ever. But I can’t say I blame him.
I mean, the amount of public support he’s got is simply phenomenal. He’s convinced every next man that this was actually the tobacco lobby conspiring against him because of the tough stance he was going to take.
He’s got the bleeding hearts sobbing because the legislation won’t make into this legislature. Whether this is true or not still remains to be seen.
Then there’s the ransacking of the offices of the anti-smoking lobby. But what has Dalli’s termination got to do with all this? If this is truly the work of the tobacco lobby, why would they have to wait for Dalli to be sacked to raid those offices?
What was John Dalli going to do…stop them in their tracks?
John Grisham could write a best-seller on the lines of ”The Appeal” .with all these goings-on and rumours,
So we now know that EU Commissioner Dalli’s reputation was just worth a “ittra b’avukat, taf int, ittra legali,” probably sent with normal mail with a 20cents stamp.
In his position, I would have reported the Maltese businessman to the police and to the Party and would have initiated immediate legal action, asked for the seizure of his passport so that he would not be able to meet ESTOC, and sought a “mandat ta’ partenza” and if possible house arrest.
One would have done the same as you describe, but John Dalli took the easiest route or in other words he just did enough to cover his derriere.
Imnalla kienu tas-Super One, Sur Ex Kummissarju, ghaliex hadd ma ghadu jemnekk.
Jien ma nafx kif ghandek il-wicc tidher quddiem dan il-poplu Malti,meta int hammartlu wiccu.
Iqaf u ammetti li int giddieb u imbroljun u tibqax iddahhaq nies bik.
We no longer supported or trusted this Dalli ever since the social gathering at a five-star Hotel in St. Julian’s before the last general elections, during which he portrayed himself as a martyr and told us all how much he suffered.
Compulsive liar, it seems.
So he knew what was going on. He wouldn’t send a letter then.
