Second Republic or Banana Republic?

With all these Ministers and the PM himself taking their wives and girlfriends to work, the Minister for the Police, the Army, Justice and Broadcasting must be tossing and turning at night trying to come with ways of getting his wife some kind of position in his office and an income to match (pro bono work is not for this Lidl shopper and fountain-water-plunderer; he leaves that to the likes of Jeffrey’s ex wife).
The Homeland Security HQ might well soon find itself in need of Romanian translation services.

“tossing and turning at night trying to come with ways of getting his wife some kind of position” – priceless!
Ah the joys of quoting out of context.
Can we have an annual W.A.G.’s calendar ?
Government printing press perhaps?
Brilliant scheme to make up for the new additional governmental expenses.

Labour WAGS rule ok.
What about Cyrus?
What about him? He’s part of the show. He goes to work with Randolph.
All in the family.
I think it’s the first banana republic, modelled on the Franky’s spiritual home – Italy.
This is now becoming a reality.

Am I the only one thinking that there is something not quite ethical in this Farrugia couple running the Health Ministry?
Victoria and Albert they ain’t.
It’s wrong. Full stop. Marlene’s is an official appointment but it wasn’t announced officially and she’s not subject to official protocolols, rules, regulations and codes of ethics.
It’s beyond absurd.
Sometimes 1 = 10 or more, especially if it’s the LP we’re talking about.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand Labour, and the others.
Nyark nyark.
Careful, or you’ll get into some criminal libel with the Minister of Justice, Police, Army and Broadcasting.
W.A.G.
What A Government.

If in the past wives were expected to give their husbands a hand in the fields, now why not in the ministry?
Or a hand elsewhere. Maybe it will increase the minister’s performance level. Who knows.
I wonder – have they planned for a room for conjugal visits in the new parliament?
Hadd ma jaghmel xejn ghal xejn.
There is a point which no one has as yet commented upon, and that is the fact that Minister Farrugia took an oath upon taking up the office as Minister. Thus he cannot delegate his duties to anyone, since he took the oath and no one else. The situation just shows how shoddy and second class we are unfortunately. Maybe il colmo is the fact that there has been no public uproar….unfortunately
Letting all these WAGs loose amongst us must be Joseph’s idea of a feminist government.
If I were Joseph I would be a very unhappy bunny at the blatant and public disregard for his wishes.
Very disrispectful.
First Jason, then Jose, now George and Marlene. Who’s next?
I do not think that Joseph cares a hoot – as long as the people who rooted for him have been given appointments whether merited, justified, or not, he is quite happy as he feels no party supporter or switchers will work against him in such a case, as they did with the previous prime minister. I wonder how many more appointments are in the pipeline. Inflating the public service, chairmen and board appointments galore and who cares about the expense.
