But this is it, I bet that if the report were to be divulged, the discussion as to whether Dalli did anything wrong would go on forever in this country.

Shades of Berlusconi and his legalese, he who managed to drug a country into thinking that the Dalli’s of this world are the movers and shakers and that business should be held behind closed doors. Remember his flippant ‘none of our business’ when asked who his assistant would be in Brussels? Dalli is the sort of chap who thinks politics should be a platform for money and deals, and that everything has to follow suit.

In one of his gripes on Norman Hamilton’s program he outlines his mentality in full, projecting politics as some kind of funnel through which business should pass, and which to his great chagrin wasn’t going the way he insisted it should.

‘ma jibqax ghadam sura x’tiehu’ was his expression, how sad is that?

The question here is whether we’re willing to understand that a continent doesn’t have the time, let alone the parochial pettiness, to wait for our mentality to change.

John dalli, like Franco, JPO, Mugliett are a decade late and the whole of Labour twenty five years off, the message they’re trying to send us is to return the clock back to cosy Malta, where ‘nirrangaw bejnietna’. This incident is but an expected glitch in the transformation the country’s going through. Labour’s promise is that we’ll all be able to ‘nintelqu daqsxejn’

The difference in cultures I’m afraid, will exacerbate itself when Labour manage to get elected, the intention is to return to the border and watch, fact is, that notwithstanding what a lot seem to think about Lawrence Gonzi, his legacy will be felt as soon as he’s gone. Just wait and see.

It seems that John Dalli is in need of Kev’s help to solve this conspiracy.

Because it was the EU that found him guilty. The EU is evil incarnate therefore John Dalli is the innocent victim. Right?

Privitera is the sort who would feed mercury purée to his great-grandchildren just to spite the EU, just because it bans it as poisonous. There are shades of that in the national Censu Brared reaction to Arriva.

Anton Callus us married to Dalli’s sister or Dalli’s wife’s sister …. Not a million miles away…

Lorna: You don’t hate john Dalli as much as Daphne does. So you can’t see what she does even if she too has not seen the file being sent to the Attorney General !

[Daphne – Just answer this question, Mr Privitera. Why are you so keen to stand up for John Dalli and pretest his innocence?]

“We are lucky enough …” that an Italian Magistrate ostracised from his own country did our work for us. Yeah right ! I’ll repeat it once again: I do not trust this guy. He seems too eager, too pleased, too cocky. And this was before I visited this link: http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/imported/olaf-boss-criticised-for-launching-cash-for-influence-investigation/71404.aspx

[Daphne – Excuse me, but exactly which man is cocky in this case?]

T-shirts proclaiming that they believe John Dalli is innocent?

5 euros each – how many shall I put you down for?

I’m off for a snus zzzzzzzzzzz

Ah, il-barrani! How dare he!

Well he single- handedly donated Mid med bank to HSBC for a fraction of its worth, exposing hundreds of millions of local property mortgages to a foreign entity without anybody voicing a syllable and getting away with it at the time!

I am certain that there was an element of commission in that one too!

[Daphne – Your xenophobia can be a little much at times, Lorna.]
