And inevitably…it’s Paul Bonello’s turn. Issa jmissu Lara Boffa, Audrey Harrison, Marlene Seychell, Frederick Testa, Albert Gauci Cunningham u Kenneth Zammit Tabona.
There are lots more, of course, but I can’t be fagged to think of them right now.

Will he get an exemption a la Franco Mercieca not to resign as director and chairman of Finco Trust group of companies in defiance of the Malta Financial Services Authority?
No surprise then, about the motivation for all that anti-Bank of Valletta pro bono (?) campaigning and addressing MLP meetings.
Will Paul Bonello tell us whether Finco Trust advised clients to invest in the BOV Property Bond?
Bank of Valletta is a shareholder in the Valletta Cruise Terminal, which is a strategic investment of Malita.
Good question at the end, Sowerberry – indeed a VERY good question…
Tistenniex li Lou Bondi jinhatar biex imexxi xi Kumpanija , hux ?
X’se tghid dwar il-hatriet ta’Reno Bugeja u Tonio Portughese ???
Zewgt Laburisti li tista’ tahdem maghhom jekk ihalluhom jahdmu. Tonio hadem f’hafna karigi taht Gvern Nazzjonalista, u Reno kien kariga importanti taht l-ahhar Gvern Nazzjonalista fil-PBS.
Paul Bonello got his iced bun and in the meantime lost a lot of his friends, including most of his family.
And of course, in Albert Marshall’s league, we will also see what the star director Mario Philip Azzopardi will be given to spare him from having to return to Canada at his pensionable age and struggle for work in competition with much younger and more talented producers/directors. Maybe the roofless theatre – we’ll see.
Malta Investments and Finco.It’s a good thing that these are financial companies. If they were food, they would cause indigestion.
Any comments from MFSA?
At the rate the government is dishing out appointments we are going to inflate our public expenditure no end – but for now money does not seem to be a problem. Inflated government expenditure was only bad during the PN administration or so they used to say.
It looks like money is becoming a problem.
The minister of Education declared that the government is prepared to sell some of the school buildings to get cash for paying back the loans the government has made to build the new schools, and this after declaring that the government will stop the ongoing commitment to build a school every year.
The next thing to go will be the “STIPEND”.
We know that Mr Paul Bonello is an investment advisor. Is he going to tell us that he will be renouncing his shareholding (not directorship, please) in Finco Trust Group of Companies?

Did he get some waiver from Emperor Joseph?
If I ask Finco about buying some shares in Malita Investments PLC what would their advice be? Would it be impartial?
Our standards are getting lower by the day. Funnily enough, the same people who were “scandalised” by their low level before the election are the perpetrators and the admirers of this state of affairs.
Paul Bonello has to choose between the directorship of Malita and his shareholding in Finco. There’s a flagrant conflict of interest.
And if you ask Finco for their advice about shares in Malta International Airport (which is also a shareholder of Valletta Cruise Port – both MIA and VCP are strategic investments of Malita), will they have a conflict of interest?
I agree with you fully. As Managing Director of Finco – a private investment services entity – Paul Bonello has a clear conflict of interest in his role as chairman of Malita – an investments enterprise publicly listed on the stock exchange – and he has to choose.
No rules now. Yahoos in charge.
I wonder what that prat student Andrea Pollaco is going to get after she humiliated herself during the Leader’s Debate at uni.
Maybe they offered to write her thesis for her, seeing she’s in her last year. Or give her a first in her degree.
Wait wait, of course how stupid of me.
Her job in a government primary school of her choice is probably guaranteed. I wonder where she’ll rank in the interviews – at the top but not too high to make it seem genuine *wink wink*.
Her classmates, who she’ll be competing with for the same position, must be pleased.
Frederick Testa has been made PBS head of drama.
[Daphne – Wow. Is that really a full-time job? What does the PBS head of drama do all day? So instead of a pension, at 60 he’s going to get the salary for which he’s been desperate, at last, with a pretend job. More ham-acting round the kitchen sink and the gwardarobba tal-pajn in some rented maisonette…beautiful.]
Or perhaps not. With the new Big Boss in place, we may get Il-Madonna Tac-Coqqa III – Redux. With some suitable Snobbija-type actress playing the innocent, chaste, but ultimately gagging for it teenage tfajla (such social realism!), suitably risqué “swearwords” like “nitnejjek” (ooo, naughty!), and of course a contemporary metal pipe stick figure as the title character (a sure hit with our yoofs).
Age of Aquarius, here we come. Again.
Hope so. Loved ‘Hair’.
I thought all “drama” on PBS is bought in? As you said, is it really a full-time job or chair-heating until age 61 and a pension?
Time for those thirty pieces of silver.
And of course, Andrew Azzopardi.
Oh yes, he mustn’t be left out. As well as Carmen Sammut and Josanne Cassar.
Marie Benoit ?
It will be difficult to find an iced bun for Marie Benoit. She’s not the boardroom or committee type. It will have to be something in the field of, ahem, culture, alongside Kenneth, or perhaps something more garlicky, alongside Charles Xuereb (someone please give the man an ambassadorship).
Meritocracy, indeed.
Malta was really “taghna lkoll” under a Nationalist government. Now it has become Malta tal-Laburisti biss.
Correction: Malta taghna l-opportunisti lkoll
So does this appointment of Paul Bonello make an investment in the shares of Malita a secure investment where the only way for its share value is up?
Does this mean that Paul Bonello will be handing out a refund to shareholders if the value of the shares of Malita go down because of any drop in the value of its property assets?
Dan iehor. Il-glorious years of prosperity ghamilhom taht il-gvern Nazzjonalista.
If Joseph Muscat is going to keep this rate of delivering miracles and graces with those who believed blindly in him before the elections, he is going to be declared a Saint very soon.
Did he lose a shoelace? Or sell one?
Daphne, mela insejtu lil kantant popolari Malti…..William Mangion. Dak haqqu JOB issa ukoll ta’, miskin.
He’s already been given one at the Ministry for Culture.
What has happened to that women (sorry can’t remember her name) who worked at RTK and got the sack? Is there a job for her in the new kingdom of Joey?
[Daphne – Sabrina Agius.]
Dik naghmluha minestra!
Interesting, because the person he has replaced is no Nationalist sympathiser.
So to satisfy one you upset the other.
This system will be Joseph’s undoing
Ja laghqi. Drajt tfotti. Insomma nafu li tassal tahbi t-tort tieghek u twahhal f’haddiehor.
Issa anke post laburist irnexxielek tiehu.
MUSCATS APPROVAL SOARS. Findings of Malta Today polls. HOW is this possible? Are people totally blind? Don’t you thing that this is totally insane?
Sabrina Agius is Roderick Galdes’s communications coordinator.
JCS you’re so right.
You keep forgetting Jesmond Mugliett. He will probably be appointed consultant for the reconstruction and building of bridges as his track record on efficiency and working within stipulated budgets had shown when he was minister.
Paul Bonello’s gift is a bit of a poisoned chalice – what he really wanted was a say in MFSA affairs…
Frank Portelli missu bicca mill-cake ukoll. Dawn in-nies f’kulhadd jahsbu.
